LUXURY HOLIDAY GETAWAYS

The world is your oyster

We explore luxurious island getaways and city breaks in the region and add in some shopping hints in Jakarta, Bali, Singapore and Hong Kong.

When choosing your next relaxing island getaway, city shopping break or perhaps a longer, more indulgent holiday experience, the ever expanding and extravagant world of luxury travel and accommodation is ready to satisfy your sense of exploration and adventure.

With a unique and vibrant culture, Bali is of course Indonesia’s number one tourist destination, and for good reason. With a medley of the highest calibre accommodation, the Island of the Gods has a reputation for luxurious villa resorts and elegant tropical hotels backed by the famed Balinese hospitality, sumptuous spas and often exceptional facilities.

Over recent years Bali has also become synonymous with excellent dining and topclass nightlife as well as famous culture, arts and specialist boutique shopping. Further afield discover the Maldives, Bora Bora and the Seychelles, each offering their own style of luxury tropical living. Or for that shorter break explore what the region’s city hotels have to offer, where you might take in a concert or catch up on your retail therapy.

While there are plenty of decadent city breaks and holiday destinations on your doorstep, as the world becomes ever more interconnected, the opportunities for the global traveller are both immense and inspiring. With business class travel, along with its supporting services, becoming ever more widespread, there has never been a better time to spread your wings and fly to a land far-far away.

If you can’t decide, then why not pick one of the many luxury cruises that criss-cross the region’s seas, and which call at some of the most spectacular destinations. Departing Singapore on

8th December 2018, for example, is Celebrity Cruise’s 14-night Southeast Asia Cruise aboard the wonderful Celebrity Millennium.
