BEST FOR INNER PEACE

Kamalaya, Thailand

Created around an ancient monk's cave once used as a spiritual retreat, Kamalaya, on Koh Samui, has become the place for A-listers and workaholics looking to slow down and de-stress.  its varied programmes and excellent yoga have brought many a burnt-out basket case back to life. 

The location alone is conducive to good health and sanity, with a white-sand beach, waterfalls and lotus-studded pools providing lovely relaxation spots.  The accommodation - simply furnished villas built into the hillside, or bumping up against the shoreline - has been devsied to exploit epic views of the blue horizon.

Seven nights, from £1,900, a person full board, including a three-day Relax & Renew Spa Programme, flights and transfers, with Wellbeing Escapes (0845 602 6202, www.wellbeingescapes.co.uk).
