Where is it? On Moyo Island in the Flores Sea, a Cessna flight followed by a one-hour boat ride from Bali. Amanresorts' first tented camp enjoys a prime beachfront location near the Wallace Line, where the distinct eco-systems of Asia and Australasia overlap. The surrounding coral reefs are known as a marine and mammal 'highway'.

Luxurious or basic? Jean-Michel Gathy's designs may be minimalist but nothing is missing from the 19 canvas-covered rooms. They are spaced far enough apart to afford privacy to guests, who are lulled to sleep by the lapping of the sea. Windows ring each expansive unit, granting panoramic views framed by verdant jungle. Beds, fitted with high-thread-count linen, are protected by mosquito nets while daybeds and planter's chairs round out the lounging options. A desktop provides space for any unfortunates having to work while in residence.

Who should visit? Underwater enthusiasts and snorkelling buffs will be mesmerised by the 3,000-plus species of fish and colourful coral in the marine environment. Collectors of pictures of the world's best sunsets can add Crocodile Head to their list. Two deck chairs placed on the cliff overlooking Shell Beach offer prime viewing of the streaky salmon sky each evening.
