We’ve been on the road in Southeast Asia for five weeks and have stayed in many sweet hotels: none, however, was any sweeter than Vedana. Set on a lovely lagoon off the sea, it is as quiet and peaceful as a resort can be. As the rooms and villas are spread along a 3 km tree-lined lane that borders the lagoon, you can get around by electric cart or the free bikes that are available on the side of the route. The copious breakfast buffet came with the (very reasonable) room rate, and the dinner options were many and delicious. The smart and uber-helpful Cam, who was our assigned manager, took great care of us, upgrading us to a large and beautifully appointed villa, and organizing our complimentary spa treatments and our ride to the airport. Don’t miss the aviary, where we saw parrots and macaws and held month-old baby lorikeets!
