Short Trip to Koh Lanta: 3D2N from $362<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"twin-lotus-resort-pool\"<\/p>\n

Get away from the tourist crowd with a sunny escape to the idyllic Koh Lanta<\/a>, a ferry ride away from Krabi. Famous for its pristine beaches and crystal blue waters, this island is still relatively undiscovered by tourists, so you won\u2019t have to jostle with the hordes. You can also go kayaking in the mangrove forest or pick the freshest seafood for a feast at one of the many fishing villages.<\/p>\n

The adults-only\u00a0Twin Lotus Resort & Spa by The Unique Collection<\/a>\u00a0offers rooms with stunning views of the beachfront for a romantic getaway. Alternatively, the\u00a0Phutara Lanta Resort<\/a>\u00a0is a well-furnished boutique hotel with family-friendly suites.<\/p>\n

Short Trip to Yangon: 3D2N from $276<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Once an isolated country, Myanmar is currently developing at breakneck speed and nowhere is this more apparent than in its largest city. The golden Shwedagon Pagoda is a must-visit, as is the bustling Bogyoke Aung San Market. By night, hang out at one of the many cool bars and restaurants that have sprung up all around the city.<\/p>\n

The stylish\u00a0Merchant Art Boutique Hotel<\/a>, which is close to many popular tourist attractions, has a modern industrial chic look that makes for great pictures.\u00a0Or escape the hectic city life with a stay at the\u00a0Inya Lake Hotel<\/a> so you can wake up to scenic lake views.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Miri Marriott Resort & Spa<\/a>\u00a0is a beachfront property for those who can\u2019t get enough sun, sand and sea and who like to be based just a short walk away from the city. Another option is the Pullman Miri Waterfront<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stay at\u00a0The Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta – MGallery Collection<\/a>, a luxury boutique hotel housed in a historic building that was built by a Chinese merchant in 1918. For a resort ambience, check out the family-friendly\u00a0Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta<\/a>, which is connected to a golf course and has tennis courts and swimming pools on its premises.<\/p>\n
