Here are our top 5 zen and blissful retreats in Southeast Asia for your ultimate ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ experience.

It’s already October (where did all the time go?) and before you know it, it’ll soon be December. Which means only one thing in our books: vacation time.

There’s nothing like the prospect of a remote villa retreat somewhere surrounded by luxuriant greenery, blue skies, fresh air and the blissful sound of crashing waves pounding against the shore. Sometimes, the lightning pace and connectedness of urban life just makes you want to pull an Elizabeth Gilbert a la Eat Pray Love and flee to somewhere secluded and idyllic for a completely rejuvenating experience.

Thankfully, living in Southeast Asia means being in close proximity to a host of rainforests, stunning parks, mountains, and great eco-friendly, sustainable retreats and accommodation options – all without the ten-hour flight and having to fork out the big bucks. Whether you’re seeking a holistic yoga retreat experience at Fivelements in Bali, or being in touch with nature and the elephants at the stunning riverside Elephant Hills in Thailand, we’ve included our top 5 picks of zen retreats within Southeast Asia. Enjoy!
