Our review of Niva Velassaru in the South Malé Atoll: about 20 minutes by speedboat from Malé, with beach villas, water villas and a lagoon at the door.

Arriving at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle already feels like the start of the experience. Tented suites, jungle, and an elephant camp in northern Thailand.

Staying at COMO Maalifushi over Christmas felt like a different kind of Maldives: sunset overwater villas, quiet water, and COMO Shambhala wellness.

No doors, no walls. Banyan Tree Buahan is an adults-only sanctuary hidden in the highlands above Ubud, and that openness is what makes it.

If Six Senses Kanuhura had one word, it would be elemental. Three private islands in the Lhaviyani Atoll, and barefoot from the moment you land.

Tucked into Labuan Bajo, Katamaran Komodo is one of Indonesia's newest openings, and it swept us off our feet from the first water villa.

You don't check in at Four Seasons Sayan, you raft down the Ayung River to get there. Riverfront villas and deep quiet in the Ubud jungle.

For Valentine's we chose Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay, and from the ocean-view villa time simply slowed. A hillside resort running down to the beach in Bali.

Set among Ubud's rice paddies, Tanah Gajah began as a private estate for an Indonesian art collector. Elegant, intimate, and steeped in Balinese culture.

Capella Ubud, Bill Bensley's award-winning tented camp, sits hidden in the Keliki Valley. Part jungle expedition, part pure luxury in Bali.

Perched in Sidemen, one of Bali's quietest corners, Numa Bali pairs modern design with real Balinese character. An intimate, secluded escape.

Alila Villas Uluwatu sits on limestone cliffs above the Indian Ocean in Bali. Clean architecture, real sustainability, and villas built for the view.

Back from Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru, and it was like no other Maldives stay: a vast Baa Atoll island, marine research, and villas on the water.

"Goodbye, Reality! Hello, Maldives!" Four Seasons Kuda Huraa: beach and water villas, a surf break at the door, and the Indian Ocean everywhere you look.

Viceroy Bali sits above the Petanu valley in Ubud, an all-villa resort run by one family. Private pools, big views, and warm Balinese service.

Back from Ayana Komodo, an hour's flight from Bali on Waecicu Beach. Its own pier, sunset boat trips, and a front-row seat to the Komodo islands.

Ulaman is an eco-retreat built from earth and bamboo in the Bali jungle. Off-grid design, a natural spa, and food grown on site.

Wake up in a private cliffside villa at Ayana Villas Bali, the Indian Ocean below and your own pool on the deck. Space, quiet, and Jimbaran sunsets.

Back from Six Senses Uluwatu, and I can't wait to share it: cliffside villas in Bali, an edge pool over the ocean, and sunsets you plan the day around.
