Romantic luxury resorts near Singapore

Overwater suites from which the only views are rolling waves as far as the eye can see. The only sounds are occasional passing birds and the water flowing beneath the bungalow’s wooden stilts. This is a taste of one of our favourite luxury resorts near Singapore, the Berjaya Langkawi Resort.

Sit on your semi-outdoor lounge to enjoy the serenity you came here for. Perhaps with the pages of a book and hot cup of tea or the hand of your lover. Allow the sea breeze to tussle your hair for that beachy look you’ll get to return home with – the best sort of souvenir one could want.

That sweet smell my friends is what paradise smells like.

Don’t even think about bringing your paperwork as chances are you’ll fall asleep on the balcony and it’ll blow out of your hands, into the deep blue ocean like with Jamie’s manuscript from Love Actually.

Couples who want an escape that’s closer rather than further away from a well-connected city ought to come here (in this case, Phuket is around a 15-minute drive away) at the Crowne Plaza Phuket Panwa Beach.

Just like how ice-cream in cold weather is so magical, so is being in an outdoor pool when you’re surrounded by the ocean. And if you think you need to fly halfway across the world for sandy white beaches and clear waters, Panglao Island and its delectable selection of luxury resorts will change your mind. Our pick is The Bellevue Resort.

When we have an amazing flat to ourselves, even if we’re in an invigorating city, we like to spend as much time as we can inside (splurging on gourmet groceries and takeout of course).
