By: Paul Eyers

It’s the vacation that we all dream of; fly to the other side of the world and check into a luxury resort on a tropical island for some serious relaxation and endless sunshine. These 5 tropical island resorts with the wow factor are all in Southeast Asia and are sure to impress even the most discerning traveller. Read on and decide which is your favourite before booking a flight and heading to paradise!

Six Senses Con Dao

As with all Six Senses hotels and resorts, you can expect the location to be unique, the service to be attentive and the accomodation to be breathtaking. We can assure you that Six Senses Con Dao ticks all of those boxes and more.

Located in an area of supreme natural beauty, the Vietnamese Con Dao archipelago and national marine park, Con Son island is somewhat untouched by tourism with Six Senses Con Dao being the only international luxury resort to be found.

The 9 villa types all have their own private pool with mesmerising ocean views. A selection of villas offer multiple rooms and are located directly on the ocean front; there really is something for everyone and every villa has that contemporary style that Six Senses is renowned for.

Four Seasons Resort Langkawi

As one of the most popular island destinations in Southeast Asia (and certainly the busiest in Malaysia), some might think that it will be difficult to find peace and tranquility on Langkawi. We can safely say they would be wrong and guests that choose Four Seasons Resort Langkawi for their luxury tropical island escape will not be disappointed.

Situated within a UNESCO Geopark on a seemingly never ending golden sand beach, Four Seasons Resort Langkawi promises guests that their vacation will be “dramatic, adventurous, serene, spectacular” and we would have to agree with all of these claims.

With 91 rooms and villas set within verdant and lush oceanside gardens, the on site spa, tennis court and 2 stunning pools (one for adults only) provide the perfect opportunity to keep active when you’re not relaxing in your beautifully appointed room, soaking up the beach vibes or dining at one of the 3 restaurants on site.

Soneva Kiri

Are you dreaming of heading to a Thai island that is far from the tourist trail yet easily reachable from Bangkok?

Would you like that feel good factor from your vacation that can only come when you know that the environmental credentials are second to none? Do you want leave your multi-room villa and take a private boat through the mangroves to enjoy a traditional (and sensational) Thai meal as the sun sets over the horizon?

If the answer to these questions is yes then the only option for you is the sensational Soneva Kiri, it delivers all of the above and much, much more. Think afternoon tea whilst sat in a giant basket in the rainforest canopy, delivered to you by someone who zip-wires in to serve you each course and fun little bonuses like a complimentary chocolate room and ice cream parlour. It’s a truly unique resort in a beautiful location and will certainly give you the wow factor that you are dreaming of.
