Situated on a gorgeous private island about a 15-minute speedboat transfer from the mainland (which unfortunately incurs a fee), this luxury resort offers a tranquil, tropical getaway in a stunning setting. Some of the elegant guest villas are scenically set over the water on stilts, while others are nestled in the hills or in the jungle. They all offer furnished balconies with beautiful views, modern amenities -- including personal portable Wi-Fi dongles -- and luxe bathrooms with stone tubs and separate showers. The highlight here is the resort's Spa Village, which offers extensive facilities and a wide, varied menu of treatments. There are two beautiful infinity pools, as well as lovely sandy beaches on the island. There are plenty of dining options and bars to choose from, though guests remark that food is pricey. For comparable luxury resort options, check out the Gaya Island Resort or the Datai Langkawi.
