There is more than a hint of adventure in the air at Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa where trekking through tropical jungles astride an elephant is an everyday occurrence. Overlooking the winding Mekong River surrounded by 160 acres of bamboo forest, this elegant resort provides a relaxing spa, glorious views and an elephant camp. From the sofa on your balcony, the view of the Laos and Myanmar hills is truly breathtaking. Inside, you are cocooned in a swathe of silks and complete comfort, while regional works of art, beautiful teak and terrazzo floors add a rustic, distinctly Thai style. Go elephant trekking, and on your return watch them bathe and cool down in the water. Visit three countries in one day. Take a morning stroll through a bustling border market in Myanmar, lunch in the historic Lanna Kingdom, followed by afternoon shopping in Laos. Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.

Travel + Leisure says..."The property rests on the banks of the mighty Mekong River at the meeting point of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. The Zen-luxe retreat, near the Thai town of Chiang Saen, unabashedly makes the most of its location. Each of the 90 rooms includes a balcony with a canopied daybed for prime tri-cultural vistas. The Anantara's spa has five treatment rooms, equipped with both Thai massage platforms and private outdoor decks. The Mekong plays host to scenic river rides on long-tail boats, and the resort's nearby elephant camp, affiliated with Thailand's Elephant Conservation Center, offersriding courses. There's also a Thai cooking school, along with two restaurants and a bar. To help support the Doi Tung produce co-op, run by 27 area villages and tribes, the hotel carries its fair-trade nuts and coffee beans to sell to guests." -From Travel + Leisure

It's "highly designed, a refreshing antidote to the other cookie-cutter hotels," with plantings on the rooftop in Mondrian-esque patterns, and use of bamboo, bonsai, and grass throughout. Rooms and suites in cream and chocolate tones have "mammoth bathrooms and balconies." "Staff exceed expectations."

Laluna Hotel is a member of Design Hotels TM. Laluna is a discreet, romantic hideaway quietly nestled on ten acres of untouched land. Totally secluded, Lalunas surroundings are only the emerald green sea and hills and a pristine white sand beach. Gabriella Giuntoli has combined traditional Caribbean materials in a minimalist style with Indonesian elements throughout the enclave of 16 cottages. Warm natural tones and sensual textures heighten the sense of intimacy in Laluna. Sitting areas have overstuffed pillows encouraging private conversations. Inviting colors of warm cinnamon, sienna and sunkissed yellow perfectly frame the blues and greens of the landscape. This picture-perfect view can be soaked in while lounging on private king-sized beds opened onto expansive verandahs with natural cotton drapery. If the exclusively hand made soaps and lotions from a monastery in the Italian Alps haven't kept you from venturing out, partake in a special dinner with romantic views of the bay and popular Italian wines - or for the more well-behaved, a sunset meditation class.

"On the Waterfront Some 200 years ago, the writer Henry Nelson Coleridge called Grenada a poet's Arcadia. And for decades to come, the tiny Caribbean island, with its powerful waterfalls that flow into the sea and fragrant nutmeg trees, remained an insiders' secret. The opening of the Bali-inspired Laluna Resort (cottages from $730) and the more recent Mount Cinnamon Beach Resort (doubles from $500), on a white-sand beach, heralded a new level of sophistication. But Grenada's authenticity and natural appeal remain. One-sixth of the land is protected wilderness, including Grand tang, a crater lake set atop an extinct volcano. Farmers still sell fresh fruit and spices at the market, and in the French-colonial capital, St. George's, the winding roads are lined with boutiques like Tikal, which carries local crafts. On Friday nights, listen to steel drums at the fish fry that takes over the small village of Gouyave. End your day at the beachside Aquarium (dinner for two $60), for West Indian barbecue served beneath the stars."

"All 16 of the one- and two-bedroom cottages at Laluna, a celebrity hideout on lush Grenada, are up and running after 2004's Hurricane Ivan. Designed in an open style, with private decks and bathrooms en plein air, they offer spectacular views of one of the Caribbean's most intimate bays. Continue the sea gazing at dinner, which is served under a thatched roof on the beach.
