TRAVEL

Beach Retreat

A visit to the idyllic island of Koh Yao Noi in Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay wouldn’t be complete without a stay at the beautiful Cape Kudu Hotel , whose luxurious pool villas boast lovely coastal interiors and wicker furnishing. The resort’s Hornbill Restaurant serves up local and international cuisine made from fresh ingredients grown in an on-site organic garden. slh.com/capekudu

Stay & Save The Santa Grand chain of affordable hotels in Singapore has just opened its sixth property on the island, Santa Grand Hotel Boat Quay by Ariva . It’s located in the heart of the vibrant Civic District, surrounded by vintage shophouses, and is a stone’s throwaway from the riverside’s trendy bars and restaurants. Head to the rooftop terrace in the evening and enjoy vibrant views of the city, new and old. stayariva.com
