Trips of a Lifetime to the Best Destinations in Asia 2025

We have designed exceptional itineraries, covering the main places and activities - ”the essence”- of each country in Asia for you to explore. Thanks to our long experience in Asia, the contacts, and unique moments that can be arranged through the very deep local understanding and connections of the members of Secret Retreats in each destination, we have crafted journeys that will remain for you as “once in a lifetime” experiences. When you think of the best destinations in Asia, our carefully curated trips are unparalleled.

All our journeys revolve around our boutique hotels which have been able to integrate into their environment, their culture, and their community while offering original architecture, attentive service with present but discreet staff, an attention to refined details, and a sense of "human" hospitality above all. These signature experiences make our trips among the best signature experiences in Asia.
We have deliberately discarded the classic programs full of tourists or for the mass market, in order to keep exclusively routes that I would feel comfortable recommending to my best friends or my family when they ask for my suggestions. I am proud to propose to you here our Signature Journeys across Asia. These trips are perfect for family trips of a lifetime, offering unique experiences in some of the best destinations in Asia.
