In this issue

After all my years of traveling for work and pleasure, I’ve realized that the hotels we choose have the potential to make or break any trip. On some occasions we get unlucky and things go wrong; other times the lodgings may be as captivating as the destination itself — stays that are worthy of planning an entire holiday around. These places are too good not to share. Hence DestinAsian’s annual Luxe List, handpicked by our editors with input from a dependable group of on-the-ground contributors. Our 2025 lineup includes 25 of the best new hotels and resorts in the Asia-Pacific region. These range from chic urban retreats, such as Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur and Hyde Melbourne Place, to one-of-a-kind resorts like Ran Baas The Palace in India and Japan’s Rosewood Miyakojima, which graces our cover. Also in these pages, our editor-in-chief Christopher P. Hill reports from Luang Prabang, Laos’ former royal capital, and finds that the riverside town has retained its magic in spite of major infrastructure projects and the resultant spike in tourist numbers.
