2. Idyllic Retreats Are Exclusive

A big part of the appeal of staying at an Idyllic Retreat is the feeling of intimacy and exclusivity. These accommodations are quiet and exclusive. Many of them only cater to a few dozen guests, which guarantees a relaxed environment where you can enjoy the pristine surroundings and amenities without feeling crowded.

For instance, on Savasi Island Resort, you’re one of only 10 parties of guests staying at one of 13 beach villas on the 52-acre island. Furthermore, many of our Idyllic Retreats are located on private islands and feature overwater bungalows, arguably the most exclusive and intimate style of accommodation in the world. If you’re looking to escape to an exotic beach destination, escape to an Idyllic Retreat.

3. Idyllic Retreats Offer Unique Accommodation Experiences

If you’re looking for a unique place to stay at, Idyllic Retreats are sure to excite you. Many Idyllic Retreats offer unique accommodation experiences—and we’re not just talking about overwater bungalows, which are pretty special in their own right. No, we’re talking about accommodation experiences that you can only find in one place in the world: at an Idyllic Retreat.

For instance, at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, you can stay in a luxury two-level residence known as The Muraka. This remarkable accommodation not only offers two bedrooms, an ocean-facing bathroom, an outdoor deck with an infinity pool, and a 24-hour butler, but the master bedroom is located 16 feet below sea level! You can sleep underwater in your own private aquarium! 

In Thailand, you can stay at The Lighthouse room of The Racha, which is a five-storey tower that stands tall over the low-rise villas on the rest of the property. Enjoy privacy, outdoor showers, large terraces and balconies, and two massive master bedrooms. At Kaya Mawa in Malawi, you can stay at one of the 10 most romantic places in the world, according to Condé Nast. It’s smack dab in the middle of Lake Malawi, so talk about unique!

Goway’s Idyllic Retreats collection offers travelers the opportunity to enjoy intimacy, exclusivity, and unique accommodation experiences in exotic beach destinations worldwide. Get in touch with a Goway Destination Specialist to learn more and to book your own Idyllic Retreat today.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
