Watching the sun rise over Angkor Wat, enveloped in mist, rates pretty highly on our list of most magical travel experiences, and a visit to the world's largest temple complex, much of it still in the grip of dense jungle, is a must on any itinerary. But Cambodia is more than just Angkor. Spend a few days in the charismatic capital, Phnom Penh, with its tree-lined boulevards, French-colonial architecture and cafe culture, or head to sleepy fishing villages and unspoilt beaches where you’ll find luxury hotels on the Bay of Thailand for the perfect luxury tailormade holiday or honeymoon combining culture, adventure and beach.

A luxury holiday or honeymoon in Indonesia, a mind-blowing archipelago of more than 17,000 islands graced with majestic volcanoes and pristine beaches, delivers an intoxicating mix of cultures, landscapes and extraordinary wildlife that's hard to beat. Bali and Lombok have some of the best beaches in the world, but there's also a vibrant gourmet-scene and the magnificent cultural heart of Ubud. In Java, you'll be blown away by the ancient Buddhist temple of Borobudur, whilst venturing into the rainforests of Sumatra and Kalimantan on Indonesian Borneo, you'll come face to face with orangutans on an unforgettable wildlife adventure.

Prepare to fall in love with Laos: explore the beautiful agricultural basin of the Mekong by boat or on the back of an elephant and follow the river as it winds its way past traditional villages and ancient temples, admire grand Buddhist temples in the capital, Vientiane andLuang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and enjoy freshly caught seafood at an authentic floating market. Laos is a delightful mix of quaint streets in French-style towns, rivers running through forest-clad mountains and limestone caves, enigmatic history on the Plain of Jars and a colourful, exotic culture that is just waiting to be discovered; after years of isolation, thanks to its natural beauty and friendly charm, Laos is finally emerging as a must-visit gem in the heart of Indochina.

Malaysia is a melting pot of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Western cultures; of pristine beaches, ancient rainforest, exclusive, luxury hotels, rustic lodges and a futuristic, cosmopolitan capital in Kuala Lumpar. The mix works. Locals are friendly and welcoming, the service is exceptional and the culture fascinating. A luxury holiday, Malaysia style, comes highly recommended. Borneo, meanwhile, is the place to head for wilderness, wildlife, and adventure. Pristine rainforests conceal unique endangered species, including orangutans, pygmy elephants, and the extraordinary proboscis monkey. Snorkelling and diving is equally amazing in Borneo, with the unique opportunity to swim with whale sharks and manatees.

It's no secret: Thailand is quite simply fabulous for an incredible luxury holiday, exciting family adventure or romantic luxury honeymoon. First there's the soft white sand beaches of Southern Thailand, the turquoise water, (the diving and snorkelling in Thailand is some of the best you'll find in the world), the backdrop of postcard-palms and dramatic cliffs. And then there's frenetic Bangkok - and the lush rainforests, ancient hill tribes and beautiful elephant treks in Northern Thailand around the Golden Triangle. And how could we forget the food and some of the best luxury hotels - including luxury spa and wellness hotels - South East Asia has to offer.

A luxury holiday or honeymoon in Vietnam's got va va voom. In North Vietnam, you could be cycling through French colonial Hanoi amid thousands of locals on bikes, or enjoying a peaceful cruise through the dramatic cliff scenery of Halong Bay; in South Vietnam, you'll find Ho Chi Minh (previously Saigon), Vietnam's thronging capital, the floating markets of the Mekong Delta and some beauitful coastline and island escapes; meanwhile Central Vietnam is a cultural, historical and visual feast with the elegant cities of Hue and Hoi An leading the field.
