Kalima Resort & Spa, Thailand

• Ultimate sea view hillside resort: Nestled high above Patong and Kamala beaches, Kalima Resort and Spa is a hideaway overlooking the turquoise Andaman. Its astonishing panoramic view is its calling card, with a dramatic triptych of sky, island and ocean from every corner of the resort. Aside from amazing views, accommodations here boast sleek, pared-down interiors.

• Tropical dining: A myriad eateries and bars are sprinkled throughout the resort. Enjoy dazzling views alongside a decadent breakfast at Malika Terrace. Come evening, the hillside terrace restaurant offers a selection of local, fusion and international dishes. Meanwhile, days can be filled feeling like a VIP at the sky bar, where you can sink into romantic sofas and enjoy endless sea views (and endless cocktails, should you wish...).

• Eastern wellness: The blissfully hushed Busaba Spa is a thrill to walk into, a hidden alcove covered with creeping vines and other lush plants. Inside, each treatment room is named after a flower, with aromatic treatments and flower baths a highlight of the spa's extensive menu. You'll definitely find a treatment or massage here that will leave you glowing.
