NEW ZEALAND Matakauri Lodge, Queenstown

From your sweet seclusion on the pristine shores of Lake Wakatipu, you’ll have a front-row view of the South Island’s big three: The Remarkables and Walter and Cecil peaks. Rooms are sumptuous, with every comfort worked in. If you can bear to leave, cruise the lake aboard the lodge’s 15-metre classic motor yacht or hitch a ride on a helicopter to look over Milford Sound.

AUSTRALIA qualia, Hamilton Island

Fringed by the Great Barrier Reef, this tropical haven is a life highlight. Windward Pavilion suites open to unbroken bush, sky and water with private infinity-edge plunge pools on sun-splashed decks. Dining at Pebble Beach is sublime and Spa qualia, where naturopathy and a curated wellness program fuse with Indigenous-inspired rituals, is a sanctuary for the soul.

THAILAND The Sarojin, Takua Pa

Honeymooners, may we suggest a spa suite, complete with your own outdoor circular relaxation pool, sun terrace, rainfall shower and nightly hour-long in-room massage? The Sarojin elevates South-East Asian style to the divine – from chic day beds by the pool surrounded by lush gardens to candlelit dining at a jungle waterfall. Try the Shipwrecked in Style dinner on a private isle.

INDONESIA St. Regis Bali Resort, Nusa Dua

Think you’ve done Bali? Never like this. Nor with a butler. An award-winning resort on a perfect beach, the St. Regis is built for supreme relaxation. A saltwater swimming lagoon curves between exquisitely furnished suites situated for privacy. The Remède Spa, complete with aromatherapy steam rooms using different scents for each day, is of another, better, world.
