Bali, Indonesia

Bali is also the perfect place if you are a culture freak and are looking to imbibe a little bit of Indonesian heritage found in their ornate temples and graceful dancers who will enthrall you with their performance. And if you are a shopaholic, buy all the batik and beautiful handmade crafts you want.

Thailand
For a quick getaway, look at Thailand. Just a short flight away, Thailand is extremely tourist friendly and warm smiles welcome you. From the busy city of Bangkok to the pristine waters of Koh Samui, from the higher reaches of culturally inclined Chiang Mai in the north to the relaxed atmosphere on the beaches of Phuket, Thailand is a country that extends a very warm welcome to visitors. As they say in Thailand, ‘Swasdee’. Welcome.

Maldives
The waters that surround the atolls are a hundred different shades of blue. The sands on the beaches glitter under the sun and the resorts in theMaldives are the perfect place to unwind and chase away the stress of the city.

Mauritius 
An island in the sun is what they call Mauritius, and rightly so!

Cambodia
If you are looking beyond budget shopping in Thailand and the buzz of Singapore, set your sight upon Cambodia. The World Heritage Angkor Wat Temple complex lies within kissing distance of Siem Reap the closest airport, and the magnificent temples of Angkor are a living testimony to the architectural prowess of the powerful Khmer empire.
