Koh Yao Noi, Thailand

• Cape Kudu’s tropical charm extends to Deluxe Seaview rooms. The rustic-luxe 45-square-metre spaces feature white-washed walls and rattan furniture, that lend it a tropical vibe. Full-length windows drape the room in light and open up to a balcony with sun loungers. The rooms also include a sitting area and king-size or twin beds.

• At Hornbill Restaurant you’ll sample an intriguing menu that features novel renditions of Thai dishes. The menu here ranges from traditional grilled fish and khao soi to contemporary creations like the crab mac and cheese. The restaurant derives its name from its resident hornbills who occasionally perch themselves by the restaurant.

• The glittering waters beyond the resort are certainly a draw, so hop on one of the resort's boats to discover Koh Kudu, a nearby island just off the coast that offers a pristine white sand beach and a quiet lagoon where you can swim and snorkel the island's warm waters.
