10: Satri House, Luang Prabang, Laos
A glorious tribute to a bygone era, Satri House was once the childhood home of a Lao prince, and this grand yet intimate 1900s boutique hotel will make you feel like a king and queen for a night. The 25 elegant rooms come with floaty four-poster beds and seductive south-east Asian decor, from whirring fans to dreamy day-beds. Art and antiques, including gilded Buddhas and Chinese lacquered cabinets, add a touch of gallery chic to this oh-so aristocratic pad. With two pools, a small spa and a tempting restaurant — ideal for sampling a symphony of Lao and Thai spices — you’ll have to drag yourself away to explore laid-back Luang Prabang. Make sure you do: its rustic Mekong River setting, peaceful temples and saffron-clad monks make this one of the region’s most romantic getaways.

1. Easter Island
Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is remotely located 2,000 miles off the coast of Tahiti. The original settlers of the island were Polynesians who migrated to the far-off land between 400 and 600 BC. They built many shrines and statues, called moai, from stones quarried throughout the island including a volcano site. Researchers still question exactly how the large stones were moved.
