Kupu Kupu Phangan Beach Villas & Spa by l'Occitane

This supreme Balinese-style resort is one of the island's most swoon-worthy, with lily ponds, tall palms and a swimming pool straight out of a luxury magazine centrefold. There's also a spa, and each wood villa boasts dipping pools and spacious, elegant interiors. The entire complex sits on the beach near rocky boulders looking out to glorious west-coast sunsets.
