Fringed by swaying casuarina trees and with stretches of white sand that seem to go on forever, Tanjung Rhu Beach is easily one of Langkawi’s most beautiful beaches. Unlike the tourist-trodden beaches of Thailand, Tanjung Rhu retains the sort of tranquillity that will make you feel like you are alone for miles. This beach is also home to the Four Seasons Langkawi which emulates the beach’s beauty into its décor and rooms.

Venture down south towards Galle in Sri Lanka, and just outside Thalpe you will find a beautiful five bedroom villa hiding away in luxurious solitude. With gorgeous colonial furniture and fresh clean décor that emulates the perfect beach house; it is Auraliya’s ideal location that will be the highlight of your stay there. Its grounds are flanked by swaying coconut palms and manicured gardens and, to top it off, the villa is steps away from one of the best beaches in Sri Lanka. Not only is it the most untouched and unspoiled on the stretch of the Thalpe coastline, but a rocky reef in its waters creates a lagoon-like barrier that keeps the waters calm and makes it perfectly safe for the kids to swim in.
