Grown-Up Tropical Escape
Below rainforest-clad mountains lies Layana, a beautiful garden resort, along a three kilometre stretch of golden sand. Relaxation and wellbeing are at the core of the Layana and with an over-18 policy, adult guests are promised uninterrupted escapism.
From huge garden pavilions to picturesque beach suites to the showstopper villa, La Maison, the Thai-inspired accommodation is both beautiful and superb. Luxuries include private balconies, open-air garden showers and second storey salas for nights under the stars.
The walled garden spa boasts the expected array of rest-inducing amenities, plus a unique salt room where you can indulge in a therapeutic salt massage or treatment for a mineral-based detox. If you’d rather keep active though, head down to the beach to snorkel, kayak and dive, or explore secluded Koh Lanta on mountain bike, motorcycle and nature reserve tours. What’s more, an international menu is served at Tides Restaurant which sits prettily along the sun-soaked beach.

Vietnam
La Siesta Premium Hang Be Hotel stands as a graceful symbol of Hanoi’s rich history and evolving modernity. Located in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the hotel’s striking white façade overlooks Hang Be Street, once a bustling hub for trading be or wooden boats. Today, this street pulses with life, offering a tapestry of cafés, artisan shops, restaurants and traditional market stalls.
Inside the hotel, La Siesta Premium Hang Be is a sanctuary of elegance. The interior exudes a calm sophistication, with a neutral colour palette of soft creams and warm accents, enhanced by thoughtful lighting that creates a serene atmosphere. Polished wood, elegant period furnishings and traditional motifs offer a sense of heritage, while modern touches ensure comfort and luxury at every turn. Each room is designed with comfort and tranquillity in mind, featuring plush furnishings, elegant décor and modern amenities to make guests feel at home.
For a truly memorable dining experience, ascend to Cloud Nine, the hotel’s restaurant. Situated on the 9th floor and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, Cloud Nine offers panoramic views that sweep across Hanoi’s storied rooftops, the shimmering Hoan Kiem Lake and the serene Red River. The restaurant’s name, inspired by the phrase “on cloud nine,” encapsulates the bliss you’ll feel as you gaze out over the city and savour exquisitely prepared dishes. Sunlight floods the space during the day, while in the evening, the city’s lights twinkle beneath you, enhancing the sense of floating above Hanoi’s streets.
For guests who prefer dining in privacy, the hotel’s in-room dining service brings the best of Cloud Nine’s menu to your door, allowing you to enjoy a delicious meal in the comfort of your own space. Meanwhile, the hotel’s La Spa offers a serene retreat where you can rejuvenate body and mind with a range of luxurious treatments.
