BEACH BLISS
Roll-out-of-bed-and-on-to-the-beach types: these are for you… On Gaya Island in Borneo, rainforest-edged Bunga Raya opens out onto a private-paradise stretch of powdery white sand and an eyeful of the South China Sea. For exotic-foliage-fringed beach luxury, Sri Lanka's simply titled Jungle Beach Resort is a romantic hideaway with curvaceous lagoon pools and its own strip of secluded Indian Ocean shoreline. If you'd rather remain in reach of civilisation, Fusion Maia Resort has Vietnamese heritage town Hoi An on its sandy doorstep – if you can tear yourself away from its all-inclusive spa treatments, seaside infinity pool and by-the-waves breakfasting…
