Bangkok
What to expect
Bangkok, the most-visited city in the world last year, is constantly abuzz with activity. Every trip here is a discovery of something new – an intricate temple on the riverbank, a trendy homegrown boutique, or a tiny alley with street food wonders.
The city is also a goldmine for luxury travelers; you could be eating a steaming bowl of hot and sour tomyam soup one minute, and sipping a cocktail atop a swanky rooftop bar the next. This city of contrasts will never fail to excite even the most jaded of travelers, so strap in if you’re in for a wild ride.
Koh Samui

Conrad Koh Samui
What to expect
Koh Samui is one of the region’s most beloved islands and there’s good reason for that – its impossibly gorgeous shorelines. The clear, blue waters dazzle beneath the sun and coconut palm trees line the velvety white sands – if there ever was a definition of a tropical paradise, this is it.
Despite the widespread appeal of Koh Samui, the island holds many secrets close to its chest. Whether it’s secret beaches to make you and your partner feel like the only ones, or local seafood restaurants to sample fresh catch, Koh Samui is a pretty special place all around.

The island city is also known for its range of luxury shopping. Parked strategically in the heart of Orchard Road are ION Orchard and Takashimaya, both immensely popular malls for luxury shopping and dining.
Maldives
Stay here
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
What to expect
Arguably hosting some of the most beautiful islands in the world, Maldives is a world-renowned destination for luxury travel. The wealthy often visit the island nation to bask on powdery white sand overlooking translucent blue waters rarely found anywhere else in the world.
Because of its magnificent sunsets and dreamy ocean views, Maldives has become synonymous with romance. Couples can wander into lush tropical greenery, demystify exotic marine life, and navigate the rainbow-hued coral gardens that line the seabed.
Bali
Stay here
Conrad Bali, Hilton Bali Resort and Hilton Garden Inn Bali Ngurah Rai Airport
What to expect
Bali may sometimes suffer a bad rep for its rowdiness, but if you know where to look, you could find blissful solitude to unwind on a perfect getaway.
The tropical Balinese island of Nusa Dua is the very definition of barefoot luxury – private resorts line the stunning coast leading up to pearl-white sand, the lapping waters are clear and a shimmery blue, and well-heeled tourists saunter about in breezy dresses and sun hats.
