A bucket list of ten private islands to blossom love and intimacy during your honeymoon and live your castaway fantasies
CEMPEDAK, INDONESIA
AN ISLAND OF BAREFOOT
A hop from bustling Singapore, time seems to pass more slowly at this micro island of Cempedak, urging you to slow down. Its romantic villas handcrafted from bamboo and local lava stone tiles overlook the turquoise waters of the South China Sea. Here nature is also intimately urging you to commune together with it. Veiled in the thick jungle foliage, discover an eco-chic spa well known for its honey sesame body scrub. Asian hospitality has its finest expression here with three-course meals served each time using fresh local produce. The drinks are just as good. The Nicobar’s delight, gin and spiced pineapple juice or a tequila sunset in Cempedak will be an idyllic setting for your honeymoon.
SONEVA JANI, MALDIVES
ISLET FOR YOUR CASTAWAY FANTASIES
The Maldives is nature’s sunken garden in the middle of the Indian ocean. This 1,000 island paradise with mind-bending blue lagoons adds to the remoteness and can help you live all your fantasies. Staying at Soneva Jani resort could be a trip of a lifetime, as these overwater villas or we may call it a mansion overwater is as picturesque as living in the unreal pages of a lifestyle magazine or a TV commercial. Every villa in the resort has a see-through bottom for a view of the sea beneath while you may have breakfast inside your room or at the shower. A 62-foot slider at every villa can pump your adrenaline to plunge into the lagoon if you choose to take a swim in the shallow and crystal waters. You can plan an outing anytime where you are dropped to an uninhabited islet with just each other for company, two lounge chairs, a picnic lunch, snorkeling gear or just a stargazing dinner.
