Escape from all traces of the outside world at Banyan Tree Samui. Set above sapphire-blue Lamai Bay, the resort occupies its own secluded cove, so you can snuggle in a beachside cabana with nary another soul in sight. The 88 contemporary Thai villas are staggered about jungled terraces for optimal, gasp-inducing views; each has its own pool. Take an electric buggy up to Saffron restaurant for a spin on local cuisine; for added romance, reserve a private pavilion on the beach. Aquatic adventures include kayaking, windsurfing, and stand-up paddleboarding; or go snorkeling on the house reef of the resort’s private bay.

Insider tip: The spa’s healing Rainforest experience takes you on a hydrothermal journey, from rain walk to body scrub to rasul treatment to massage – with refreshing plunges in between.
