The one with loads of space: The Arsana Estate, Bali
You’ve done Seminyak to death, and now, all you want is a little peace and quiet. Luckily for you, this luxuriously five-bedroom villa will satisfy that desire in your next holiday. Set on a hillside two-hectare estate right in the midst of Bali’s rural hinterland, it’s the perfect spot for restful tranquility, special weddings or events, and even spiritual retreats – just what the doctor ordered to reset for the New Year ahead. We love the sleek, modern structure, abundance of glass, the sweeping 18-metre infinity pool, hip cocktail bar, huge lounge area, stunning views – all just 15 minutes from Seseh Beach!

The one with the views: Baan Bon Khao, Koh Samui
We like being on top… of the world that is. And at Baan Bon Khao, you’ll get nothing but a stunning hilltop location that offers unparalleled ocean vistas overlooking Ang Thong Marine Park, Koh Phangan, Choeng Mon Bay and Chaweng, as well as extreme privacy for that hard-earned year end break. Luxurious in every measure, this six-bedroom stunner boasts crisp white facades, full-length windows and contemporary furnishing that appeals to stylish, modern-day nomads. We love their outdoor dining area that’s perfect for diner en blanc, the infinity-edged pool, and chic bespoke artwork.
