Galle, Sri Lanka
The Fortress
If tropical lushness and easy days on the lounger are in order, it's a short seaplane flight down Sri Lanka's Golden Coast to Galle, where luxury perched on the edge of the Indian Ocean and a cup of tea (fresh from the plantation to your cup) awaits.

The Fortress, styled on the area's historic Dutch monument, is the perfect retreat, with Ayurvedic treatments to put your bod back on track and a menu guaranteed to spice up an evening under the stars.

If you do decide to venture, make sure it's to Tittagalla Estate for a sip of white tea, the "champagne of teas".

Landaa Giraavaru, Maldives
Four Seasons Resort
Need to experience the beauty of the Maldives at least once in your life? Head for Landaa Giraavaru, a 44-acre island of wild nature with all the fantasy island luxuries a girl wants (that would be bungalows with blue lagoon waters lapping at our feet).

Lazy ocean days, fragrant massages and a smorgasbord of seafood make this the ultimate sojourn to take you a world away from the city. If that's not enough, there's always the private catamaran to go island hopping in style.
