5 private islands in Southeast Asia you probably have not heard of … yet
Incredibly remote and decidedly luxurious, you would want to have any of these sun-soaked destinations all to yourself
When it’s time to run away from the hustle and bustle, we won’t fault you for immediately thinking of travelling to Koh Samui, Cebu and the Maldives but forget those if you’re looking for the perfect combination of rarity, privacy and true luxury. Instead, find your way to these lesser trodden paths in Southeast Asia.
From sandy white beaches and lush green landscapes to crystal clear water and raw nature, these exclusive (and totally Insta-worthy) hideaways provide you an empty itinerary that you can fill up with various island activities as well as a private sanctuary to unwind and recalibrate. Forget reality and go offline now, it’s time to chill out, indulge in some barefoot bliss and soak in much-needed #vitaminsea.
Koh Rang Noi, Thailand
When it comes to this 10-acre (4-hectare) tropical paradise that is a short boat ride away from the Royal Phuket Marina, ‘gorgeous’ may be an understatement. And with a total of three villas (yes, you read that right), Phuket’s only private island is as exclusive as it gets.
While here, you’ll find yourself constantly in awe with murals or sandstone carvings crafted by Thai artisans – some of the lights were even fashioned from original Thai shadow puppets. Choose from jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks, small sailing catamarans or even yachts as your preferred ride during your stay.
Six Senses Con Dao, Vietnam
