With its handful of extensive private villas, arrayed around a serene tropical island just twenty minutes by speedboat from Sihanoukville, Song Saa does everything brilliantly. Crucially, it’s also gorgeous – a low key, mellow aesthetic that uses beach-wood, recycled fishing boats, canvas and rushes, with amenities (including a much-feted spa and an infinity pool that left Nick enthusing for weeks) that you really won’t want to leave behind.

Many Maldives island resorts are ‘private’ inasmuch as there’s typically only room for one resort per island anyway, but Cocoa Island stands out from the crowd thanks to its novel accommodation. Designed to resemble traditional Maldivian dhonis (fishing boats), these stilt-mounted bungalows appear to float on the ocean, but are in fact securely fixed to the sea floor, and accessed via wooden walkways that meander out from the island’s pristine white shore. A host of COMO’s reliably luxurious amenities sit on land, and the 20 minute speedboat transfer really helps set the scene for remote island glamour.
Couple activity: Renowned COMO Shambhala spa
Price: $1000USD per night
