Luxury Hotels in Maldives

Here, the loudest thing you’ll hear is a palm tree swaying in the wind, warm waters lapping powdery sand, tiger prawns sizzling on a beach barbecue, or the pop of a champagne cork. This is the exclusive castaway life. Go island-hopping in seaplanes and catamarans, snorkelling with parrotfish by your private cabin or savour Creole fine dining on the beach. 

Ditch your shoes and pinch yourself – this is a tropical utopia with island spa retreats and luxury hotels on stilts.

The Maldives enjoys a superb climate. With temperatures at around 30°C for most of the year, it’s always ideal for diving and evenings al fresco at your luxury beach resort. The quietest season is from May to November when occasional rain storms freshen things up, and when sailing and surfing are particularly good. 

Luxury Hotels in Malaysia

Malaysia is often called the jewel of Asia. It has it all – incredible food, dreamy beach escapes, and fascinating landscape home to even more fascinating wildlife, crumbling remains of its grand colonial past and the skyscrapers of its exhilarating future. Whether you choose a luxury beach resort, mountain spa retreat or sumptuous city break, it’s guaranteed to be priceless.

Colour memories with white sand beaches, golden temples, emerald tea plantations and scintillating cities.

Temperatures in Malaysia hardly vary all year round. Days are hot and balmy, ideal for exploring marine life, mountains, museums or sipping martinis by the pool. Nights are sultry by the sea (low-20s°C) and cosier in the highlands (15°C) – perfect for some spicy, local fine dining. Rain-wise, the odd downpour throughout the year is nothing more than welcome refreshment.

Travel back in time to one of the many colonial tea plantations, home to fine boutique-grown teas and some incredible butterflies.

 

Luxury Hotels in Singapore

China, Malaysia, India - there are so many different influences on customs, food and culture here that it really is one of the world’s most exciting melting pots.

Singapore is more or less on the equator, and its temperature stays consistently high all year round. It can be humid too, with sudden storms bringing relief. The wettest time of year to come is November to January. The city state is home to a number of faiths, so there are public holidays throughout the year. But one celebration well worth seeing is Chinese New Year in February. 

Luxury Hotels in Japan

A beguiling mix of contrasts with unique customs and cuisine – steeped in tradition yet ahead of its time

You’re bound to have a bit of culture shock in Japan. Eating raw fish. Taking a bath with strangers in a hot spring. Or marvelling at the minimalist beauty of a Japanese garden. Experiences that seem strange to begin with, then utterly natural once you fall in love with the country – from manic cities like Tokyo to tranquil forest trails. 

Japan has four distinct seasons, and temperatures vary across the Japanese archipelago. Hokkaido in the north has large snowfalls in the winter months, which makes it a favourite for skiing. If you’re here in the spring, you’ll be able to see the famous cherry blossom. Peak holiday seasons for the Japanese themselves are April and mid-August, but you can easily travel around the country at any time of year.

LUXURY HOTELS IN INDIA

India’s charms are as varied as they are vibrant. You could head for majestic mountain vistas and dense jungle or white beaches and serene lagoons.

India has something to offer throughout the year. Winter is the most popular time to visit southern India, but if you’re properly prepared for the weather, monsoon season is quieter, with fewer crowds at main attractions.
