With some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, never-ending summer and warm hospitality, you don’t need to travel far for a great vacation. We like to be constantly on the move and see as much of Asia as we possible can… which can hurt a nomad’s wallet — but not when you know where to go! So here are the most affordable yet luxurious villas you book right away.
#1 Blue Karma Villa Resort
How much? USD 128 for a one-bedroom villa
Top three must-do’s:
1. The hotel is known for its spectacular outdoor pool with LED lighting, with a poolside bar right by the wooden decks. Stick around for a beautiful sunset.
