Travelling in Twos: The Best Twin Centre Holiday Ideas

Mountainous Laos matched with Soulful Cambodia

Staying at Rosewood Luang Prabang and Amansara

Laos is still a relatively sleepy counterpart of its Southeast Asian neighbours, so arriving here has the delightful effect of stepping back in time. Explore peaceful buildings as monks receive alms at dawn, admire the undulating mountains that wrap around the country’s border, and appreciate the laid-back atmosphere as you soak up the culture.

Inspired by ancient temples and an explorer spirit, take in Rosewood Luang Prabang’s French-Lao architecture from the comfort of a contemporary waterfall pool villa or hilltop tent. It’s the perfect place to stay if you want to sample the best Laotian cuisine, with a farm-to-table approach to dining and a menu intuitively blending Western dishes with a Laos twist.

Travel south from Laos to Cambodia on your two centre holiday for an unforgettable adventure in a destination steeped in history. Explore bustling Phnom Penh and visit the sprawling markets to pick out a souvenir. Revel in the serenity of iconic Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, known as ‘City of Temples’ for its unique Khmer architecture, carved apsaras and artistic significance.

At Amansara, rest within a transformed masterpiece that was once a residence for guests of King Sihanouk, only a short distance away from Cambodia’s most famous temple complex. When you’re not relaxing in your suite, guests can enjoy a private tour of Angkor Wat with the National Museum curator Dr. Ven Sophorn for a deeper insight into the Golden Era of the Khmer Kingdom.

Bustling Singapore matched with Bountiful Bali

Staying at The Singapore EDITION and Capella Ubud

One of the best twin centre holidays for travellers who want to see more of the world begins in Singapore. This destination has something for everyone; a foodie and cultural hub that welcomes families with open arms as one of the cleanest and safest nations in the world. Luxury is a given for guests across the country, and there’s a plethora of attractions that showcase Singapore’s uniquely varied culture.

The Singapore EDITION is an oasis of cool with lush dining spaces, including the enchanting Punch Room for cocktails and trendy The Roof from day to night. You’re only a short walk away from the stunning Singapore Botanic Gardens, perfectly positioned to be out of the main hustle and bustle of the city but in easy reach of all of its differing things to see and do.

Find yourself in Bali less than 3 hours later by flight, and continue with your spiritual and jungle immersion in the cultural heart of Ubud’s central foothills. Visit its rice terraces and dramatic waterfalls, appreciate the silver craftsmanship and holistic healers, and stay at Bill-Bensley designed tents at Capella Ubud which harken back to the time of European settlers from the 1800’s. The island is known for being a destination for inner transformation and relaxation, and this is the perfect place to stay to connect with some of this magic.

Dynamic Hong Kong matched with Adventurous Australia

Staying at The Upper House and Silky Oaks Lodge

Hong Kong’s energetic pulse is unlike any other metropolis; a natural playground disguised as a financial hub, where vertical skyscrapers contend with mountains and gastronomes or oenophiles relish every meal. It’s a city in constant motion, sweeping you up and carrying you through experiences that range from unique dining opportunities to exclusive cultural events.

The Upper House is a masterclass of cool and an oasis of calm, central to everything and prioritising wellness during your urban stay. It’s the perfect place to stay on luxury twin centre holidays, offering an exclusive accommodation experience overlooking the shimmering lights of the ever-busy city.

It’s over to Queensland on Australia’s northeast coast for the next part of your dual centre holiday, where Silky Oaks Lodge is the perfect jumping off point to the most stunning natural attractions. Daintree Rainforest, Mossman Gorge, the Great Barrier Reef and Cape Tribulation are all ready and waiting to be explored, offering an incredible contrast to the urban beauty of Hong Kong.

Bask in integrative treehouses that bring the outside in, renew your body at Healing Waters Spa and feel part of this ancient ecosystem.

Vivacious Vietnam matched with Tantalising Thailand

Staying at Six Senses Ninh Van Bay and Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle

Vietnam offers a multitude of travel experiences, from busy, vibrant cities to biodiverse forests and fields home to unique species. The south coast of the country is a popular place to visit if you’re looking for twin centre holiday ideas, with destinations like Nha Trang and Mui Ne offering idyllic beach resort experiences, whilst Ho Chi Minh City is only a short journey further south.

Not far from Nha Trang, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay has perfected the art of barefoot luxury in their hidden enclave. Along the pristine coast, take time out to cruise along the shoreline, island hop to fishing villages, rejuvenate on a yogic retreat, watch the days go by from your hilltop, beach or rock pool villa, or choose from the many outdoor activities that take advantage of this protected bay. Nourish your body at their healthy dining options, and to celebrate a day well spent at dusk, enjoy drinks and shisha by the jetty.

From coast to jungle, get completely off-the-grid, learn all about elephants and lose yourself to the rhythm of the most enviable location at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. Spoil yourself with friends and family at the Explorer Lodge’s spacious pool deck that is immersed in a lush environment of bamboo and birdsong.
