Just a 25-minute boat ride from Bintan in Indonesia is Cempedak Private Island, where guests are welcomed by a stunning vista of white sand beach, tropical flora and the crescent-shaped alang alang roofs of the 20 villas that dot the island. Each villa is seductive and secluded, spaced out generously over the island for maximum privacy. 

This eco-conscious resort is made almost entirely of bamboo, paired with the creative use of natural materials such as lava stone (sculpted into waves that add texture to the walls), and copper and bronze accents as table bases, plant pots and patina-laden backsplashes for a warm, welcoming feel.

For wining and dining, Cempedak Private Island's main restaurant is laid out with plenty of alcoves and overwater private tables, while Dodo Bar boasts a cool communal table and ocean views.

Not private enough for you? The lovely staff can pack a picnic hamper to take to one of the nearby deserted beaches or islands. 

Located on a hilltop on the far end of Kata Noi Beach, this intimate boutique hotel boasts 98 spacious private villas, each with living and dining spaces, private pool and sun deck. The Pool Villas have hillside or garden views, while the aptly named Sea View Pool Villas have uninterrupted views over the Andaman Sea. 

Built for romance, The Shore at Katathani offers a series of private dining options with the choice of three venues; The Kissing Point, a lantern-lit glass deck that sits over the water; A cosy BBQ for two on the sand; or at the hotel's impressive glass-encased chapel.

They also offer customised proposal arrangements—we're just sayin'.
