Asia is a place that intrigues and excites all at the same time, it is home to a huge diversity of adventures to choose from. And if you look beneath the surface, there is a multitude of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Whether it’s embarking on a peaceful morning cruise along the Mekong River or taking a look at Hanoi’s coffee scene, Bangkok’s floating market, or maybe Tokyo’s incredible Shibuya Crossing; whatever it is, there is something out there waiting for you. Not that it ever stops once the sun goes down. Asia is the continent that never sleeps...

Luxury accommodation in Asia

There are many incredible places to stay in Asia. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Tokyo

Aman Tokyo

Embracing the minimalism of traditional Japanese architecture, Aman is a stylish, bespoke hotel that will offer you an array of amenities and easy accessibility to the city’s sights. Each of the 84 guest rooms and suites have unique layouts with uncompromising city views and every contemporary convenience. You’ll find the design inspiration evident throughout the hotel, from traditional Japanese residential structures to the use of classical materials such as camphor wood, washi paper and stone alongside modern luxurious fabrics. The hotel also offers an exquisite dining experience in their elegant mediterranean fine dining restaurant on the 33rd floor with views of the Imperial Palace Gardens and Mount Fuji. Take a dip in the infinity pool on the 34th floor, high above the hustle and bustle of the city or head to the spa to relax after a long day of exploring the city. You’ll also enjoy Ginza, the upmarket shopping area just a pleasant 15 minute walk away.

Quy Nhon

Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô

Discover Bãi San Hô – set on a whopping 245 acres of land, the far-flung hotel stands on a secluded peninsula of the Phu Yen province. Inside, the area’s local dishes, traditions, materials, and architecture take centre stage, with all four of their villa types drawing on different styles of Vietnamese architecture. Guests can choose ancient rice paddy fields, verdant hilltops or mile-long powder white beach as their own private setting, from the collection of 73 free-standing villas. The Hill Pool Villas are perched on top of the green hills surrounding the private bay of Bãi San Hô and boast stunning sea views while the Beach Pool Villas give private direct access to the beach. There are also the Rice Paddy Villas that do not disappoint either – they resemble traditional fishermen’s huts, feature a private terrace, and are set within the serene setting of rice paddy fields. Three dining experiences reveal the essence of Vietnamese cuisine: Bà Hai offers authentic immersion into Grandma Hai-style regional cooking, Làng Chài’s thatched huts on the beach host a lively grill restaurant served daily by the local fisherman, while Nhà Ở is the heartbeat to the resort with panoramic hilltop views and all-day Southeast Asian and international menus. From here, feel free to explore the private bay by catamaran or snorkel the coral reefs. Embark on a historic journey back to 11th-century Cham dynasty and experience the temple bells and blessings at Quy Nhon. Learn the local craft of fishing and dine on a Vietnamese long boat. Follow the picturesque walking trails and find the perfect picnic spot. Or, let time glide effortlessly as you relax with the signature ‘Sea Elixir’ at the resort’s Hoa Sen Spa which features seven treatment rooms (including 3 doubles), hammams, saunas, a tea room and large relaxation areas, ideal to unwind.

Chiang Mai

137 Pillars Chiang Mai

Indulgence and modern luxury are at the core of this intimate hotel with its thirty opulent suites which hark back to the Old World of the Orient. The charming guestrooms all come with the lavish features, garden views, contemporary interiors, walk-in closet, Victorian bathtub and open-air shower. Besides beautifully adorned suites, this boutique property also boasts five dining locations. You can feast on both Thai and international cuisine at the stylish Dining Room and enjoy refined high tea at The Parlor Lounge. Breakfast is a personal affair with the option of enjoying it in bed or on your own private veranda. Outside, exotic lush grounds surround the accommodation with an infinity pool sitting by the ‘living garden’ wall. Relaxation and wellness is extended to the Gymnasium and Spa with its many soothing therapies and treatments.

Wild Cambodia

Shinta Mani Wild

It’s the very definition of experiential travel, from the lodging itself to the activities on offer. Shita Mani Wild is the vision of world-renowned designer, Bill Bensley, who purchased the land and whose mission it is to protect this beautiful part of the country from poaching, mining and logging. The camp has partnered with the Wildlife Alliance, whose rangers have a station on-site, to help conserve this precious wildlife corridor. The camp consists of 15 luxury tents positioned along the Tmor Rung River. Their location ensures guests enjoy the best possible views and the tents are positioned so everyone has their own little part of the forest. The walk from some of the tents to the main camp can be quite long, so there are rangers on hand with lamps to help you back at night. Each tent has a story to tell, from the Botanist’s Tent to the National Geographic Tent and while each one is unique, they are all impeccably styled with gorgeous textiles, artwork, fascinating artefacts and one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture. Many have freestanding bath tubs on the decking for the ultimate soak. At the heart of the camp is the Headquarters, where guests enjoy their meals. The team here are passionate about using local, seasonal produce, much of which has been foraged from the surrounding forest. For something really special, there is the option to enjoy a waterfall picnic. The Landing Zone Bar overlooking the Big Raging Sister Waterfall is the place for truly exquisite cocktails. And, if you don’t want to walk there, you can always zip line in! The camp’s pool has been designed to look like a cistern and the lining was painted jet black so the water reflects the details of the forest. The Khmer Tonics is the camp’s spa nestled amongst the rocks, and here you can indulge in a river-stone foot massage while soaking in a waterfall pool. There is so much to do during a stay at Shinta Mani Wild, from mountain biking and kayaking to fishing, foraging and cooking classes. There’s even the option to head out on an anti-poaching patrol to experience the vital work being done by the Wildlife Alliance.

Sumba

NIHI Sumba Island

This eco-friendly resort takes a responsible approach to hospitability, and its restaurants make use of organically grown produce from the grounds, while its foundation and community outreach programmes seek to benefit and upskill the local villages, and protect the environment. Positioned within the diverse natural setting of 438 acres of tropical forest, rice terraces and grasslands on a private stretch of beautiful beach, Nihi Sumba Island provides utter scenic seclusion. All rooms are tucked amongst the trees, with huge windows and private terraces or balconies boasting expansive sea views. With 32 villas, all made from reclaimed wood by local craftsmen and furnished with unique regional artefacts, the accommodation here is exceptional. Meanwhile, the restaurant is a fusion between Eastern and Western cuisine, with an extremely accommodating team and chef. Though dining tends to be a communal affair with couples, families and friends, the staff will happily arrange private dining in your room or at one of many private romantic locations among the grounds. During the day, guests can try their hand at surfing along the beach or take in the Sumbanese countryside and culture by horseback. Those looking for a more relaxing pursuit can indulge in the Jungle Spa, with a massage or yoga class. There’s also fishing trips, stand-up paddleboarding and diving to be enjoyed, plus destination dining and a sea turtle hatchery.

Ubud

Capella Ubud

Discovered amid lush green forests and scenic rice paddy fields, Capella Ubud is a unique tented hotel presenting a luxurious experience and a relaxing oasis on the doorstep of Ubud’s most beautiful natural surroundings. The hotel consists of 22 individually styled one-bedroom tents and one tented two-bedroom lodge, all immaculate in their artistic décor and furnishings. Offering rice terrace, rainforest, river or valley views, each lodging is equipped with modern facilities to further enhance the comfort of your stay, as well as a private saltwater pool for relaxing soaks. The two-bedroom lodge offers a larger space in which to unwind and is well suited to a small family. Inspired by the early European settlers from the 1800s, each tent’s decorative theme is determined by the skill set of the various inhabitants of the area’s 19th century camps, with the likes of The Carpenter’s Tent showcasing the tools used by craftsmen and artisans, while The Naturalist’s Tent depicts the heritage of the camp’s zoologists and botanists. Seasonable and sustainable dining can be enjoyed at the Mads Lange dining room, while delicious Asian BBQ is served at the intimate Api Jiwa restaurant. For some refreshment after a cooling swim, the poolside Mortar and Pestle Bar serves up a range of snacks and drinks, including a creative cocktail menu. There is also The Camp Fire from where you can relax under the stars with a hot chocolate in hand, serenaded by the hotel’s jungle orchestra. A myriad of wellness treatments can be enjoyed at the hotel’s extensive spa, while the tented gymnasium allows guests to get active across the likes of yoga and pilates classes – perfectly in keeping with Bali’s sense of spiritual well-being.
