This design-forward beachside getaway in Koh Samui marries sleek design with soft tropicality. Villas boast private pools, minimalist interiors and open-air bathrooms. Sleep to the sound of the waves, and spend your day under palm trees, ending with a couple’s massage right by sea.

4. Fijian Fairytale for Two: Likuliku Lagoon Resort, Fiji

This adults-only resort is the first in Fiji to have overwater bures — traditional thatched-roof villas above the coral reef. No TVs, no distractions: Likuliku encourages you to unplug and reconnect. Enjoy snorkeling, candlelit dinners on the beach and the slow and easy cadence of island life.

Romantic highlight: Sunset sailing on a traditional Fijian canoe, with cocktails and canapés.
