Tucked into Bali's most talked-about coastal village, La Mewali Resort & Spa Canggu is a brand-new five-star eco-wellness retreat where sculptural, cave-inspired architecture meets the laid-back rhythm of Canggu. Sweeping organic forms, lush greenery and water at every turn set the tone for a stay built entirely around slowing down. This is wellness without the rigidity — unwind at the spa, drift between the outdoor pool and poolside bar, and let the on-site restaurant and 24-hour room service take care of the rest. Your stay includes daily breakfast for two, a cocktail for two and a 60-minute couples' massage, so the indulgent extras are sorted before you even arrive. Choose a Suite Room framed by calming pool views, or upgrade to a One-Bedroom Plunge Pool Villa that opens straight onto its own private plunge pool and lagoon. Either way you're moments from Canggu's surf breaks, beach clubs and rice-field walks — and just over an hour from Ngurah Rai International Airport, with direct flights from most major Australian cities. Travelling as a small family? Each room welcomes up to 2 adults plus 1 child aged 11 or under, with the child staying free — children 12 and over are counted as adults.

Escape to the 5-star dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives — a true all-inclusive overwater villa resort where meals, drinks, speedboat transfers, water sports and a daily US$20 activity credit are all taken care of before you arrive. The Maldives has never been more accessible for Australian travellers, and dusitD2 Feydhoo strips away the usual complexity of a Maldives trip. A short 7-minute speedboat transfer from Malé-Velana International Airport brings you straight to the resort — no domestic flights, no lengthy island-hopping required. The all-inclusive package here goes well beyond the standard. Five restaurants and bars are included, from the champagne breakfast and themed dinners at Baraveli, to authentic Thai street food at Soi, Mediterranean poolside dining at Midi, and teppanyaki at the overwater Bō restaurant. Drinks run from breakfast through to 1am daily — house champagne, 100 wine labels, premium spirits, and 100 handcrafted cocktails across the resort, plus a stocked beachside cooling box on request. The daily US$20 per person credit can be saved and accumulated, offsetting spa treatments, diving, wellness programs or any other chargeable activity during your stay. Villas range from Waterfront Pool Villa to Overwater Pool Villa — with a guaranteed upgrade from Waterfront to Overwater for travel in June and July. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, or simply after the kind of Maldives escape where everything is taken care of, dusitD2 Feydhoo delivers it without the usual resort bill anxiety at checkout.

Stay on the shores of Khao Lak at the 5-star Pullman Khao Lak Resort — daily buffet breakfast, Thai massages, cocktails for two, and late checkout until 4pm all included. Thailand remains one of the most accessible long-haul destinations for Australian travellers, with well-connected routes into Phuket making it an easy add to any travel itinerary. Khao Lak is just over an hour's drive from Phuket Airport — no domestic connections, no ferries. It sits on a long stretch of natural beachfront backed by national park, without the crowds or commercialisation of Phuket or Koh Samui. Pullman Khao Lak Resort is a full-service property with multiple pools, the Rosalyn Spa, and dining outlets where guests receive a 10% food and beverage discount throughout their stay — with spa-goers getting an additional 20% off the regular treatment menu. Rooms range from Deluxe King and Pool Access categories through to Family Suites sleeping two adults and two children, with a half-board option available for those who want meals sorted. Whether you're after a couples retreat or a family week away, Pullman Khao Lak Resort delivers an unhurried beach escape that's increasingly hard to find in Southeast Asia.

Tucked away in the heart of Seminyak, Sini Vie Resort is an intimate adults-only sanctuary where Balinese elegance meets modern luxury. Set across lush tropical gardens, the resort's pool villas and suites are designed for couples and discerning solo travellers who want to experience Bali at its most refined — away from the crowds, and entirely on their own terms. Each morning begins with a generous daily breakfast served in the resort's open-air restaurant, drawing on the finest local produce and Balinese flavours. Your arrival is seamless too, with a private transfer from the airport included — so from the moment you land, the holiday has already begun. Beyond the resort, Seminyak's world-class dining, boutique shopping, and legendary sunsets are on your doorstep. Whether you choose to spend your days drifting between the pool and the spa, or exploring the temples and rice terraces of the island's interior, this is Bali done the way it was always meant to be experienced.
