This tiny island resort takes all the charm of its older Singapore sibling and fuses it with clotted-cream sands, raspberry sunsets and a coconut version of its famous Sling. Complimentary neck massages are doled out while you wait for breakfast (French boulangerie, Sri Lankan egg hoppers, detox juices) with your feet in the sand. Lunch could be catch of the day – smoked tuna, say, grilled with lemon oil. At the smart overwater spa, Balinese therapists perform signature massages that start with the hum of a Tibetan singing bowl and end with warm coconut oil being poured onto your third eye.

One of the first and still one of the best, Gili Lankanfushi is green and clean, stylish and sustainable. There are all sorts of sleeping options – beach pool villas, two-storey overwater villas, standalone villas cast out at sea and reached by boat, and the Private Reserve with its own spa, gym, screening room and waterslide whooshing you straight into the ocean. All are gorgeous, kitted out in a back-to-nature style, with thatched roofs, recycled teak bed frames, bespoke rocking chairs and catamaran nets strung above the water (a coral regeneration programme is helping to nurse the rather pale house reef back to life following the 2016 worldwide bleaching event).

Stylish, sustainable and surrounded by some of the healthiest and most bountiful reefs in the country – a carnival of colourful corals, blizzards of tropical fish, and sea turtles as big as ponies – this is one all-inclusive that no one can turn their nose up at. There’s no messing around with spending credits or extra charges; everything is included – everything – from unlimited spa treatments to deep sea fishing, scooter dives and jet skis.

The retro-futuristic design at Vommuli might have been inspired by The Jetsons. It looks like a vast docking station for flying saucers – all the more wonderful for being made entirely of wood. A Space Age vibe pervades the interiors too, with modular ceiling lamps that resemble chemistry diagrams and translucent bathroom surfaces lit from below. Though the house reef is excellent, there are enough distractions on dry land to keep you occupied for weeks. Of the half-dozen superb restaurants, the most charming is Cargo, a street-food emporium in a ship’s container – as if it had simply washed up on shore and been taken over by castaway hawkers of the Michelin-starred variety.
