From Thailand’s tree-tops to Bali’s beaches, there are worse places to cast adrift this summer. The experts at luxury tour operator, Scott Dunn, share three of their favourite ‘wow-factor’ ideas for a holiday in Asia to remember.
Treely, Madly, Deeply
If you told your children they could sleep in the trees, you’d probably be rewarded with high-pitched giggles. Imagine their delight at a tree-house bedroom in your vast, luxury villa at Soneva Kiri, Thailand. Set on a lush tropical island, villas overlook powder-white sands and turquoise waters. While your children play in The Den, a revolutionary treetop kids’ club, you can relax by your private infinity pool before a long lunch prepared by a dedicated chef. A jungle spa, Michelin-star menus and treetop dining all add to the experience too, as well as the night cinema for film-viewings under the stars.
Heaven Tent
This is camping as you’ve never known it. Pitched amidst the jungle of Northern Thailand, each luxury tent at the Four Seasons Golden Triangle has a roll-top bath, handmade furniture and a deck with views onto Burma and the mountains of Laos beyond. Guests can take a longtail boat down the mighty Mekong River or experience a private elephant camp. Spend the day with your own elephant, learning how to train this gentle grey giant in the jungle. Perfect for adventure seekers not wanting to compromise on fabulous luxury and great service.
Lazy days and Bali nights
Love is in the air at Amankila on Bali’s peaceful east coast. Set on a private beach with exquisite ocean views, the Indrakila Suite is picture-perfect for true romance. Picture the scene: emerge from a dip in your pool to a gourmet platter of freshest seafood and a thirst-quenching cocktail, served in the intimate privacy of your own ‘bale’, a thatched open-air hut overlooking the ocean.
