Adventuring in Style

For well-heeled thrill seekers, Southeast Asia boasts an exciting range of exotic adventure holidays that come complete with lavish comforts and a splash of champagne. Camp in luxury, sight-see from the sky and safari in style with these extravagant adventure options.

Experience the under-canvas comfort of an Eastern safari in the magnificently appointed tents at Elephant Hills in the lush Khao Sok national park, and Four Seasons Tented Camp set in the heart of the Golden Triangle. These luxury jungle camps combine the tented concept of African national parks with a Thai tropical forest environment for a uniquely lavish adventure.

Both camps are palatial havens of unrestrained luxury with tailor-made tents featuring custom-made furnishings reminiscent of 19th century adventure expeditions. And with canoe trips, elephant riding and spectacular trekking routes on offer, there’s certainly no shortage of activities for contemporary adventurers either!

At the eco-friendly, yet similarly sumptuous Lisu Resort in Myanmar’s Kachin State, tents are decorated with bamboo and wooden furniture and feature private bathrooms and solar powered hot water and electricity. The camp is a comfortable base from which to explore Putau, and the focus of this exclusive lodge is on natural and cultural adventure.

For the ultimate in stylish sight-seeing, experience an adventurous aerial view on a romantic hot-air balloon ride over Bagan. Guided by gentle winds not exceeding 15mph, enjoy a bird’s-eye view of Bagan’s 2,142 temples and pagodas as you glide over forests of glittering stupas laid out like a mystical chess board below. Romantic sunrise and sunset champagne flights are available from October to March, so you can raise a glass to adventuring in style!
