FOUR CORNERS
four of the best
drop dead gorgeous villas across the network
1 DOUBLEPOOL VILLA, BANYAN TREE PHUKET
The in-villa pool is a basic requirement these days – but two pools in one villa? Now you’re talking. The Banyan Tree group’s star property dazzles with this recently opened honeymooners’ hideaway that offers a wading pool (which snakes around the glass-walled bedroom) and a large infinity pool surrounded by a tropical garden.
DoublePool Villa guests can even have their own personal comb loy ceremony. This is the traditional Thai practice of making a wish and releasing a floating lantern into the sky (second right). Tel +66 (0)76 324374, www.banyantree.com
2 DHONI SUITE, COCOA ISLAND, MALDIVES
Combine your hotel stay with a pleasure cruise in Cocoa Island’s dhoni suites. The traditional fishing boats have been outfitted with a split-level interior and spacious deck overlooking crystalline blue waters. Tel +960 (0)6 641818, www.cocoaisland.como.bz
3 POOL VILLA, AMANSARA, SIEM REAP
The one-time guesthouse of Cambodia’s King Father Norodom Sihanouk, Amansara combines ’60s architecture, designer furnishings and Khmer exotica. Of the 24 rooms, half are Pool Villas – whose apsara-dancer-bedecked walls shield guests from the outside world. Tel +855 (0)63 760333, www.amansara.com
4 RAWI SUITE, LANGHAM PLACE, KOH LANTA
Ideal for two families travelling together, the 335sq m Rawi has two bedrooms and a common living area. Music lovers will appreciate the suite’s sound system – chosen especially by the hotel’s audiophile owner. Tel +66 (0)2 881224, www.langhamhotels.com
