If there’s ever been a year to #treatyoself, this is it – 2019 is the Year of the Pig in the Chinese zodiac, and we take that to mean rewarding oneself for good work done, and kicking back on holiday.

If you need some ideas on how to accomplish that, read on.

Holiday like a VVIP in Niseko

The outdoor jacuzzi at Hakuchozan

We’ve spoken about Hakuchozan before, but it bears repeating: this is where the real crazy rich Asians hang out.

Whistle for a coffee while you’re on the slopes, gaze at Mount Yōtei from the hot tub.

This ski chalet has the best facilities and service, and that’s what makes it worthy of your best year – ever.

Conduct a tour of Koh Samui’s finest bathtubs

The gigantic circular bathtub at Villa Kohia in Koh Samui.

We’re not joking. Samui’s villas have the finest array of bathtubs we’ve seen, and we’ve even compiled a list of them.

There’s no luxury like that of a free-standing outdoors tub: absolute privacy, and – in the best ones – an ocean view to complete it. Don’t just take our word for it.

Bali has some of the best food going, whether you’re there for local favourites like babi guling or the latest and greatest in cafe fare.

Our favourite way to do it is to cafe-hop through Canggu, breaking things up with beach-club stops.

Stay in the world’s first underwater suite

It has to be seen to be believed – Conrad Maldives Rangali Island’s jawdropping undersea residence, The Muraka.

The two-storey suite is perched out in the ocean with an oversea and undersea level, and the world’s best view of the ocean from all angles.
