Where to travel in Southeast Asia this Valentine’s Day

It is the perfect sanctuary to recharge energetic couples from all the city explorations.
For the pool villa fans
Designed by the acclaimed Bangkok-based American designer Bill Bensley, the Bensley Collection Pool Villas in Siem Reap really transcend all our expectations of a typical pool villa. The two-storey residences are surrounded by a private green garden that can be admired through the floor-to-ceiling windows. While the interior is decorated with handcrafted and custom-made Khmer-inspired furniture, your will find your bathtub, rain shower, and private pool just outside the bedroom doors. The experience is made even better with the presence of the Bensley Butlers, who will tend to your every need.
For the nature lovers
This wellness resort comes with the most soothing green environment, highlighting the beauty of Bali. Revīvō Wellness Resort sits amid three hectares of teak tree forest, where every direction you turn is a lush space perfect for a mindfulness practice. The signature Mindfulness & Emotional Balance retreat involves an attitude and body transformation, whereby you and your better half are guaranteed to leave with a more positive, revitalised mind.
For the spa seekers
Formerly the Fusion Maia Da Nang, the TIA Wellness Resort has evolved to bring something special to modern travellers. The resort now offers the finest luxury spa and wellness programs that are designed to lead guests on a self-discovery journey. From the inside out, they will practice breathing, stress management, and diets. Created especially for this Valentine’s Day, the resort is serving up a plant-based feast for couples who want to enjoy the romantic waterfront view, too.
For the mindful introverts
Tucked away amidst the flora and fauna of the Balinese jungle, Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape is among the most romantic sanctuaries you will come across in Southeast Asia. Each of the ‘bale’ hideaways feature a ‘no doors, no walls’ concept to allow guests to connect more with nature. Several holistic activities and services are also offered to keep you focused on the present and stray away from your phone.
For the historical travellers
The Raffles Hotel Le Royal is truly a part of the history of Phnom Penh. The hotel, established in 1929, boasts a stylish Khmer, Art Deco, and French Colonial interior design that sets a mythical yet serene scene for all lovebirds. While the location is circled by multiple of Phnom Penh’s main attractions, the in-hotel dining venues are also tempting enough to keep you occupied all day long. Special for this Valentine’s Day, the hotel will also be serving Surf & Turf meal along with premium champagnes, granting you one of the most memorable experiences in Southeast Asia.
