Best Beaches Escapes in the Network
Soneva Fushi
The original Soneva property and a pioneer of Maldivian barefoot luxury, this resort hides jungle villas and an open-air cinema on the sand within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Its own dhow-building yard, chocolate room, and observatory give it a genuinely different character from a typical overwater resort.
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
Spread across two private islands joined by a stretch of turquoise lagoon, this resort is famous for The Muraka - one of the world's first undersea residences - and Ithaa, a fully submerged glass restaurant. Overwater villas here come with direct lagoon access and glass floor panels straight down to the reef.
Burj Al Arab Jumeirah
Built on its own artificial island in the shape of a billowing sail, this is one of the most recognisable hotel silhouettes in the world. Every stay is a duplex suite, with a fleet of chauffeured Rolls-Royces and a private helipad underlining its reputation as one of the most opulent hotels anywhere.
Amanpuri
The resort that started the Aman brand, Amanpuri is set among a coconut plantation on Phuket's quiet western coast, its Thai pavilion-style villas built around a series of dark reflecting pools. It remains one of the most understated, design-led luxury resorts in Southeast Asia.
Bulgari Resort Bali
Perched on a clifftop above the Indian Ocean at Bali's southern tip, this resort pairs Bulgari's Italian design sensibility with sweeping ocean-horizon views from nearly every villa. A private beach reached by funicular and one of Bali's most striking infinity pools complete the setting.
Rayavadee
Set on the only resort land at the tip of the Railay peninsula, surrounded on three sides by beach and framed by Krabi's dramatic limestone karsts, Rayavadee's two-storey pavilions are accessible only by boat. It's one of the few resorts in the world genuinely inseparable from its landscape.
Alila Villas Uluwatu
Built into the limestone cliffs of Bali's Bukit Peninsula, this resort's low-slung, geometric villas each come with a private pool framed by dry-stone walls and thatched roofs. Its design has become a reference point for contemporary tropical architecture across Southeast Asia.
Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa
Spread across 56 acres of landscaped gardens leading to a quiet stretch of beach, this resort channels Goa's Portuguese heritage through domed architecture and courtyards. A championship-style spa and multiple pools round out the grounds.
Atlantis, The Palm
Anchoring the trunk of the man-made Palm Jumeirah island, this resort wraps a private beach, waterpark, and one of the world's largest open-air marine habitats around its distinctive arch. It's as much a destination in itself as a hotel, built for big family holidays.
The Leela Goa
Set on a private peninsula where the Sal River meets the Arabian Sea, this resort combines a Portuguese-Goan aesthetic with an 18-hole putting green and one of Goa's largest spas. Lagoon and beach views come with nearly every room.
Grand Hyatt Goa
Overlooking Cortalim Bay, this resort's Indo-Portuguese courtyards, six pools and private beach club give it a resort-town feel of its own. It's especially known for its wellness centre and family-friendly kids' club.
Taj Bekal Resort & Spa
Spread across a private lagoon-facing headland in North Kerala, this resort's villas come with private plunge pools and views over paddy fields to the Arabian Sea. It's a quieter, less-visited stretch of the Kerala coast.
Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach
Set directly on RK Beach, this modern hotel gives every sea-facing room uninterrupted views over the Bay of Bengal. It's a comfortable, contemporary base for exploring Vizag's beaches, submarine museum and coastal hills.
Toshali Sands
Spread across 30 acres near Balighai Beach and the Balukhanda Reserve Forest, Toshali Sands recreates an Odisha village in miniature, with thatched cottages, ethnic villas and craft-inspired interiors. It's a relaxed, nature-immersed alternative to a standard beach hotel, just minutes from the Jagannath Temple.
