Komodo National Park, Indonesia
Komodo Resort & Diving Club
A remote diving resort on a picture-perfect desert island set overlooking a steep underwater wall of rock that descends 20m to a seabed that is positively riotous with marine life, making for one of the best dive sites in Indonesia.
The Komodo Resort’s fourteen bungalows fit perfectly in the surrounding landscape, constructed from teak wood that either has been recycled or comes from controlled plantation. The spacious bungalows are distributed just a few meters away from the beach, with a large veranda to take in the views. All the bungalows have hot water, a fan, electric power and a safe. There are eight deluxe bungalows, which are also equipped with a mini-bar and air conditioning.
As well as diving, there are excursions into the nearby national park to track the iconic Komodo Dragon and treks on the rugged volcanic ‘Lost World’ islands.

Places to combine Komodo Resort & Diving Club with
Phuket
Tucked away on the fringes of Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s most ancient and biodiverse rainforests, Thanyamundra Organic Resort offers an intimate sanctuary with nine guestrooms. The setting is mesmerising: a patchwork of cultivated organic farmland gently gives way to dense jungle, while mist drifts across rolling emerald hills in the early morning.
Two teakwood residences, built in traditional Thai style, house the guest rooms. Within, antique furnishings add a sense of heritage and handwoven textiles bring warmth and colour.
Begin with yoga at dawn or a leisurely walk among rice paddies and vegetable gardens, before setting out to discover the wonders of the rainforest. Back at the resort, the infinity pool seemingly spills into the surrounding hills. From here, the horizon becomes a living panorama of forest, farmland and sky, shifting in colour as the day passes from morning to the glow of sunset. The spa provides another form of retreat, where traditional Thai treatments restore balance after a day outdoors.
Food is at the heart of the Thanyamundra experience. The resort’s organic farm supplies the kitchen with fragrant herbs, just-picked vegetables, tropical fruit and locally produced cheese. Meals, whether enjoyed in the open-sided pavilion or al fresco under the stars, are thoughtfully prepared to highlight the freshest seasonal ingredients.
