Barcelo Coconut Island, Thailand

• Luxe island living: Nestled on the shores of a fairytale island just off the coast of Phuket, Barceló Coconut Island is the ultimate five-star beach retreat. A collection of secluded villas and suites, this ultra-luxurious hideaway sits in a breathtaking location right on a sprawling sandy stretch, while inside meticulously-designed spaces feature soothing natural materials, earth tones and top-notch amenities. Unwind in your sumptuous private haven, or simply step outside for toes-in-the-sand bliss, great views and crystal-clear waters.

• Fabulous flavours: Take in sweeping bay views from the elevated deck at Koko, the resort’s spectacular Japanese and Asian Fusion restaurant inspired by a local folk tale. For something a little more casual, you’ll love savouring Thai and Asian delights at the beachfront Kabang Restaurant & Bar, while the laid-back Kucina serves up Italian buffet offerings including wood-fired pizza and hearty pasta dishes. And for Mediterranean delights in a swanky seafront setting, look no further than the gorgeous Laku Beach Club.

• Otherworldly wellness: Set on a dreamy wooden pavilion surrounded by lush vegetation, Kahtor Spa and Wellness is a true haven of tranquillity, and the perfect place to let those worries melt away. Start with a soak in the relaxing hydrotherapy pool, before enjoying a soothing sauna session and pampering yourself with a range of indulgent massages and treatments. Fancy something more active? There’s a state-of-the-art Technogym fitness centre, plus a beautiful yoga pavilion offering classes for all levels.
