The Ultimate Trip

I used to head for the Oriental spa in Bangkok, but if you're not a guest you have to drop by in person first thing every morning to see if there are any spa vacancies that day. My new favourite spot for relaxation is the Begawan Giri. There's a breathtaking walk down to the open-air spa, amazing villas, diet-trashingly good food and the most discreet service I have encountered. It even has peacocks roaming the grounds freely (www.baliwww.com/begawangiri).
