All killer, no filler. From Maldives to Thailand and Bali, these resorts are the absolute cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of luxury travel.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last 10 years, Luxury Escapes\u2019 travel experts have scoured the globe in search of the best of the best (it\u2019s a tough job, but someone has to do it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having tried, tested and tasted them all, this is the definitive list \u2013 and it\u2019s no surprise Bali is a popular destination in this round-up to end all round-ups. \u201cFor me, this comes down to three things,\u201d says Tom McMenemie, General Manager of Accommodation for Luxury Escapes. \u201cIts proximity to Australia, value for money, and year-round good weather.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without further ado: scroll for some of the best loved escapes of the decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, Thailand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perennially popular Phuket has its fair share of luxury resorts, but Katathani<\/a> is without doubt one of its best. It sits in the pretty, jungle-framed bay of Kata Noi (just south of the famous \u2013 and inherently busier \u2013 Kata Beach), opening onto 850 metres of white sand, hitting that sweet spot of being just close enough to the action, while still offering seclusion. This is your quintessential Thailand flop-and-drop: there are six restaurants and bars, six pools, a spa and a kids\u2019 club onsite, with Phi Phi and James Bond island tours should the urge for adventure strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor a decade, Katathani has held its status as a Luxury Escapes favourite, seamlessly checking every box,\u201d says Tom. \u201cWhether a couple seeking a romantic getaway or a family in search of diverse options, it caters to every preference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
