Adventure in Paradise:
* Stay at the exclusive hideaway resort, Nihiwatu in Sumba, Indonesia, which
has only seven rooms and three villas. Experience the resort's surfing, deep
sea fishing and diving program which grant access to only a select few
enthusiasts per season. Trek with experienced guides to visit Stone Age
tribal people in small family villages.
* If visiting in February or March, witness the Pasola, the most spectacular
ceremony on Sumba. A ritual fight with spears featuring hundreds of horsemen,
Pasola is an unforgettable martial event.
* Fly via private jet to the tropical jungles in the Bokeo province of
Northern Laos for "The Gibbon Experience," a conservation project where
participants explore the landscape from above with an ingenious system of
zip-lines in search of a species of ape once-thought extinct, the Black
Gibbon. Stay in one of the four tree houses built especially for this
project, overlooking the surrounding rainforest.
Asia For Two:
* Stay at The Aman, New Delhi, Amanresort's first city-based property opening
in early 2008, with private plunge pools hidden from view by intricately
carved marble screens. Enjoy the resort's private bamboo garden relaxation
areas, and the restaurant where private tastings can be arranged for
romancing couples.
* Journey to Aman-i-Khas, an exclusive wilderness camp set in the rugged
hills of Rajasthan on the outskirts of the Ranthambore National Park, one of
the finest tiger reserves in the world. Spend your nights in lavish,
Mughal-style tents set in a quiet rural area, perfect for romantic evenings.
Take a tiger safari in the hopes of catching a glimpse of India's national
animal.
* Visit Aman Bagh in the less-traveled Alwar region of Rajasthan. While here,
journey by elephant to nearby Madar Baba Ki Chattri. This site, which
commands stunning, panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, is
dominated by the tomb of Maharajah Bakhtawar Singh, a famous Hindu prince who
died in battle. Legend has it that his mistress committed suicide here as a
result of the unbearable loneliness she felt after his death.
Family Time:
* Visit an elephant camp in Laos, and assist in bathing and feeding the
massive and enchanting elephants.
* Learn the art of traditional kite making at the home of a Balinese Prince
followed by a private meal with his family.
* Drive to a remote farming village in Bhutan where a Chipdrel, a traditional
procession and a Marchang dance ceremony welcome the guests. Bhutanese
children show their young guests around the village, while adults socialize
in the kitchen where a cooking demonstration will take place before the meal
is enjoyed by all.
* Visit an orphanage in Cambodia where children are paired with orphans their
own age to play, while parents spend time with the teachers learning about
how they can best help those in need.
