Escape Magazine Summer 2025 Edition

ASIA? ABSOLUTELY. SINGAPORE AND BALI? SENSATIONAL. Compare vibrant Singapore with restful days in Bali as you tick off the city and beach on this Asian adventure. Begin in the buzzing metropolis of Singapore, where you’ll rub shoulders with towering skyscrapers. Marvel at the Gardens by the Bay, where Araminta and Colin’s wedding reception is held in Crazy Rich Asians (2018) , or eat your way around Newton Food Centre as the movie characters Rachel, Nick, Araminta, and Colin do . Then, head over to the powder-soft sands of Bali, where a world of beauty awaits. For a touch of calm on this Indonesian island, soak up the sun in Sanur or Nusa Dua and wake up to sunrise yoga classes each morning.

Dive into this island-hopping trio. Surrounded by Koh Samui’s clear oceans, relax on Lamai Beach and enjoy the breathtaking views. Once you’ve had your fill of the sun, visit sites such as the Big Buddha or Hin Lad Waterfall . Next, hop over to Koh Phangan , just a 30-minute boat trip from Koh Samui and bask under the hot Thai sun in Haad Yao and Haad Salad . Your final stop is Koh Tao , known for its snorkelling, diving, and stunning marine life, which includes gentle whale sharks and green sea turtles. If Thailand’s lush surroundings call your name, see them on the big screen in Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) and whet your travel appetite. IDYLLIC THAI ISLANDS. NATURALLY.
