Last year, I stayed in some incredible hotels: The Fortress Resort & Spa near Galle in Sri Lanka was particularly dreamy. As I plan my travels for 2025, I've been reminiscing about some of the other beautiful places I've stayed in over the years. I've put together this selection of my most unique and memorable stays around the world. I hope it helps inspire your own holiday plans!
The last stop on my Thailand trip was the Andaman Sea island of Ko Lanta (also spelled Koh Lanta), located off Thailand's southwestern shores near Krabi. I thought long and hard about which island(s) to stay on and decided Ko Lanta would be best for me in terms of weather, beaches, things to do, nightlife (lack of it in my case!) and easy access to the mainland and other beautiful islands.
