Lovers' Retreat

Spend Valentine's Day in Cambodia's Song Saa, a private island resort in the Gulf of Thailand whose name means sweethearts in Khmer.

On that day, guests will be invited to receive a blessing by Buddhist monks, followed by Valentine's Day cocktails and a dinner specially crafted for each couple. Before heading back to their private pool villa, the couples will light lanterns and release them into the sky.

Stays at Song Saa cost US$1,440++ (S$2,056) a night, which includes all meals and unlimited house wines, spirits, beers and non-alcoholic drinks; free use of the resort's kayaks, sail boats and snorkelling gear; guided tours of the islands; speedboat transfers to the mainland and a 15-minute foot ritual.
