12 Destinations That Will Fire Up Your Wanderlust
World Travel|March - April 2016

The beauty of travelling is that, no matter the length and proximity of the destination, it has the power to recharge us with energy, inspire us and give us a renewed sense of wonder for the world. In Southeast Asia, the exhilarating versatility and vicinity of the destinations are factors that can immediately attract travellers to plan for their next escapade. A tropical hideaway on a little-known island in the Philippines, which beguiles with stunning azure waters, is something not many diehard beach lovers can overlook, while history fanatics will travel high and low to experience the scent of a bygone era in a beautiful colonial hotel in the ever-enchanting city of Yangon. Here are short-holiday destinations that will fire up your wanderlust without the need to venture too far.

12 Destinations That Will Fire Up Your Wanderlust

Bask in a tropical gem in the Siargao

The Philippines may boast a total of 7,107 islands but not many weave such an exquisite harmony between nature, biodiversity and design as the beautiful Dedon Island. Nestled at the south-eastern tip of Siargao, just around the corner from the world-renowned surfing reef Cloud 9 (legendary surfers such as Kelly Slater count it among their favourites), this lush tropical paradise allows travellers to experience their very own castaway adventure by basking in ancient mangrove forests, white sands and crystal-clear waters.

Here, the waves are truly sensational and thanks to its 15 separate surf breaks, the island is considered a real surfer’s haven. However, as an eco-tourist paradise and an island hopper’s idyll, Dedon promises more than just an adrenaline-packed holiday. As you arrive on the island and make your way through authentic rural villages, viridescent rice fields, and stretches of beautiful beaches, you will discover that Dedon Island Resort quickly embraces you in a tropical hug with its nine eco-chic villas that integrate entirely with the natural environment.

Have your own castaway experience on Kuda Hithi Island

Located in the North Malé Atoll of the Maldives, Coco Privé Kuda Hithi Island is the sort of blissful hideaway that draws sun-loving travellers without too much effort. Its main temptation may lie in its absolute seclusion as the island is available for private hire only, but the resort here is also set to impress you with a slew of other assets; think aquamarine waters, pristine white beaches and greenery at every glance.
