About Secret Retreats…Unveil the Essence of Asia
Secret Retreats is a collection of around 100 independently owned boutique hotels, residences,
restaurants and cruises throughout Asia offering guests authentic travel experiences that go beyond
typical offerings and connect to the very heart of Asian culture and traditions.
Conscious of the uniformity of luxury hotel chains around the world that has deprived today’s travellers of authenticity and
individuality, Secret Retreats sets a new reference point in the hospitality industry through advocating exclusive boutique
hideaways and promoting bespoke travel experiences.
Secret Retreats Members believe that luxury is not about
acquiring extravagant products and lavish facilities - the intrinsic
value of luxury cannot be derived from a monetary exchange,
rather it is found in the enriching moments that are shared when
making new connections and experiences. Secret Retreats
Members are vibrant advocates of their surroundings and
passionate about sharing special moments with travellers curious
to discover the essence of Asia.
Secret Retreats Members also share common values when it comes to supporting environmental conservation, and the
preservation of local cultures and communities in which they are based to ensure continued opportunities for both locals and
travellers. All Members have signed a Sustainability Pledge which can be found at:

Unlock All of Asia’s Secrets…
Secret Villas – Beautiful in design and perfect for those looking to rent an exclusive holiday
home with family or friends, Secret Villas are just sold as a unit of 3 to 10 rooms, complete with
private chef and butler service.
Secret Cruises – On a river, lake or at sea, Secret Cruises offer journeys of discovery in exotic
locations aboard beautifully designed, full-service vessels. Cruises are available for both fixed
departure dates throughout the year and private charters.
Secret Inns – For travellers who prefer an authentic Asia experience that is away from some of
the more crowded touristy areas, Secret Inns are welcoming, slightly off the beaten path
sanctuaries. Shunning customary upscale comforts in order to provide a rustic journey of
exploration in a more remote destination, each of these hidden hermitages is an intimate
dwelling worthy of discovery. From the mountains, to the sea, to a river, allow your senses to
embrace the natural, unspoilt hinterland in a serene and tranquil oasis.
Secret Tables – Revealing the true essence of Asian flavours, our collection of handpicked
independent restaurants serve cuisine made with local produce to reflect the taste and culture of
the land. Along with a commitment to providing seasonal fare, each restaurant shares core
values that embrace sustainability, fair wages and career paths for young locals.
