Made our honeymoon memorable

“We spent 5 days of our honeymoon here and enjoyed every second! The staff were super helpful and friendly, providing detailed maps with places to go and eat – they even packed us a lunchbox for a day trip to Lombok. The room itself is very clean, bed comfy and all amenities great – loved […]

South India trip- part of year long trip with young son

This is really a gem of a place, the cottages are tastefully done, the bathroom is superb, the service impeccable and the food and attention to detail is excellent. The pool is lovely and my son and our friends really enjoyed our stay here. For sure a must visit and I am certainly going back […]

Remote but worth the trip

“A jewel in the middle of nowhere in Northern Laos. They have added in room a/c and wi-fi in the last several months so now truly a 5 star experience. Lovely rooms, great food, nice pool, interesting activities. Only 10 rooms and since we were there just before her the high season, less than half […]

A delight

“How do I start to describe Glenburn? At the beginning, I guess. The journey up from Bagdogra/Siliguri is a 4/5 hour drive, and, once you get to the hills, the road twists and turns, is two way only, and has enough slow traffic to make overtaking difficult/dangerous, but, except in the couple of places where […]

Almost Unbelievable

Spent a very happy week here after a previous week in Northern Raja Ampat. The diving here is the best we have ever experienced with seemingly endless coral gardens and abundant fish. The lagoon on which the resort was built houses many juvenile fish and sharks and can be snorkeled directly from your cabin. Cabins […]

Surpassed all safari expectations

My Mom and I stayed in a tent and went for 4 drives (two early morning and two afternoon). Everything was incredible! The camp is set-up just outside the back entrance of Yala National park, which meant that there were less people (and jeeps). The camp itself is beautiful and we saw fantastic wildlife on […]

Fantastic for Birders and Animal Lovers

I recently experienced a safari that lived up to its expectations. I am a birder and saw 100 species of birds with Saj , an experienced guide in the birding world and animals alike. We had 5 sightings of leopards, elephants, jackal, spotted deer, water buffalo, monkeys and mongoose . The food was beautifully presented […]

Lovely lodge, beautiful grounds, easily accessible from Ho Chi Minh City

The Island Lodge was perfect for our family holiday. The lodge has a great, handy location, we wanted a taste of the Mekong and did not have time to travel any further yet we felt tucked away in the greenery beside the river. It is a smaller boutique style family owned place with beautiful grounds, […]

simple luxuries

It may be unpretensious, ethical, and eco-friendly – but don’t presume for a moment that Sanak Retreat isn’t as beautifully designed and sumptuous as a high end hotel. Forged by the friendship between a local Balinese and a French businessman, the beauty of Sanak Retreat is the loving thought that has gone into every detail. […]
