Across Asia’s dazzling coastlines, a quiet shift is taking place. Here, where turquoise waters kiss powder-soft sands and jungle meets sea, a new kind of wellness escape is emerging—one that whispers rather than shouts, and invites you not just to unwind, but to realign.
From barefoot island sanctuaries in Thailand to clifftop hideaways in Bali, these coastal retreats are reimagining luxury not as excess, but as intentional, soulful living. Their promise? Wellness journeys woven through with local wisdom, sensory richness, and the kind of quiet that speaks volumes.
Whether you crave sunrise yoga on a forested hill, healing facials with a sea breeze soundtrack, or community feasts by firelight—this new wave of retreats offers a passport to something deeper. Here are seven standout sanctuaries redefining what it means to truly travel well.
InterContinental Halong Bay Resort, Vietnam
Opening September 2025
Rising from the ancient limestone karsts of Halong Bay, InterContinental’s newest jewel invites guests into a landscape that already feels like a dream. Inspired by the dramatic meeting of sea and stone, the resort balances striking design with soulful calm.
Spa rituals are elevated through partnerships with Margaret Dabbs London and Sodashi—renowned names in holistic, sensory-led therapies. Think: deeply restorative facials, mineral-rich body wraps, and slow, sweeping massages that echo the tides outside your window.
But the healing doesn’t stop at the spa. Guests are encouraged to tune into nature—through archery at golden hour, beach volleyball with salt-kissed skin, or visits to nearby fishing villages where ancient rhythms still guide daily life.
KAIA Koh Phangan, Thailand
Opening late 2025
At KAIA, luxury goes barefoot. Tucked within a protected forest and steps from pristine sands, this tented retreat redefines glamour as groundedness. Here, design whispers in harmony with nature and hospitality is guided by the Thai philosophy of Jao Baan—warm, unfiltered human connection.
Guests wake to birdsong and the hush of waves, then ease into the day with jungle yoga or meditation under the trees. Ice baths on traditional longtail boats offer a bracing reset, while open-fire beach feasts bring everyone together in shared joy.
Sustainability and social impact aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the bedrock. At KAIA, every moment is crafted to foster connection: to self, to others, to the Earth.
Regent Bali Canggu, Indonesia
Opened late 2024 | Spa launching October 2025
Sleek and soulful, Regent Bali Canggu is a sanctuary where ancient Balinese rituals meet modern wellness innovation. Perched along Canggu’s quiet shoreline, this refined hideaway offers private lagoon suites and panoramic ocean views designed for uninterrupted rest.
Its upcoming spa and wellness centre—crafted with global spa brand Raison d’Etre—blends traditional healing with future-forward therapies like light frequency treatment and crystal energy balancing. It’s wellness with spirit and spark.
You’ll also find a yoga pavilion, fitness studio, serene pools, and space simply to be. Whether you’re stretching at sunrise or sipping tea in silence, Regent Bali holds space for both serenity and stimulation.
The Mulia, Bali
Timeless, iconic, ever-evolving
Mulia Bali doesn’t just offer wellness—it orchestrates it. Known for its expansive beachfront, refined service, and polished programming, this iconic Nusa Dua resort continues to elevate the meaning of holistic care.
Its signature “Wellness Unbound” programme is designed for all levels, integrating movement, meditation, nutrition, and rest. The Mulia Spa is home to Asia Pacific’s first Ice Room, along with hydrotherapy pools, Finnish sauna, and aroma steam rooms. Treatments blend Balinese tradition with global techniques, creating deep renewal that lingers long after checkout.
Whether you seek solitude or structure, Mulia’s beachside calm provides a harmonious reset for body, mind, and spirit.
Angsana Laguna Phuket & Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, Thailand
Angsana Laguna Phuket
Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket
A tale of two retreats in one coastal enclave
In the heart of Phuket’s Laguna enclave lies a rare gift: two wellness-forward resorts offering distinct yet complementary experiences.
At Angsana, wellness is vibrant and family-friendly—think lagoon-side yoga, multisensory Rainmist therapies, and rituals that invite joy as much as peace. A short stroll away, Dusit Thani leans into Thai heritage and quiet reflection, with beachfront massages, energy healing, and soul-stirring nature walks along the Andaman coast.
Together, they offer something rare: space for play and pause, laughter and stillness. Here, wellness isn’t a menu—it’s a mood.
TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Bajo, Indonesia
Where the forest meets the Flores Sea
Framed by forest on one side and the azure Flores Sea on the other, TA’AKTANA is more than a resort—it’s a soulful retreat. Set across 16 hectares of “Green Land,” its design invites stillness, with overwater villas and ocean-view suites made for deep rest.
At the heart of the resort lies Di’a Spa, where rituals range from traditional body wraps to sensory hair therapies and guided wellness workshops. Guests start their mornings with yoga atop Salang Hill and end the day with meditative ocean walks or restorative evening flows as the sky turns gold.
TA’AKTANA is where modern wellness meets ancient rhythm. A place where every breath feels a little deeper.
Regent Phu Quoc, Vietnam
Where ritual meets refinement
On the shores of Vietnam’s Phu Quoc Island, Regent presents a polished oasis of high-touch wellness. Every detail feels considered, every moment curated.
Signature offerings include the 120-minute Refined Renewal, a full-body ritual of dry brushing, lymphatic massage, and green tea wraps. Guests can opt for bespoke three-day journeys that include movement, nutrition, and personal wellness consultations.
Led by wellness expert Dr. Tomson, the resort also offers the acclaimed Pedi:Mani:Cure by Bastien Gonzalez and access to the ultra-exclusive Regent Club. This is a sanctuary where science meets soul, and indulgence serves purpose.
A New Language of Luxury
These retreats do more than pamper—they transform. Their wellness journeys are not checklist experiences, but deeply personal paths shaped by nature, culture, and thoughtful design. They invite you to slow down, lean in, and listen—to the sea, the forest, and yourself.
In this new era of luxury travel, healing is the new indulgence. And Asia’s coastlines are leading the way.
