" 1. Isleta el Espino, Nicaragua  Now this is remote. Ten minutes&amp;#039; by boat across Lake Nicaragua from the town of Granada and you land at glorious Isleta el Espino, a rustic eco outfit that&amp;#039;s off-grid and has a bungalow and\u00A0treehouse for guests. It&amp;#039;s an absolutely amazing place, from yoga on the deck at sunrise to watching the sun set behind the distant Mombacho volcano. As well as beautiful, it&amp;#039;s an absolute bargain; lunch and dinner are less than \u00A310 for two courses of organic, local fare and an hour&amp;#039;s massage in the ranchito (hut) is around \u00A335. Welcome to affordable paradise. \u00A0You can rent the whole of\u00A0Isleta el Epino\u00A0(sleeps up to 9 people) from \u00A3222 per night (that&amp;#039;s \u00A324.60 each!).\u00A0  2. St George&amp;#039;s Caye Resort, Belize If you&amp;#039;re on a budget but want the over-water suite experience, St George&amp;#039;s Caye is a great option. Six thatched-roof cabanas built on stilts in the Caribbean Sea are simply furnished with mosquito-net draped bed, private bath, hammock on the porch and little else for a Robinson Crusoe-vibe. When you&amp;#039;re not snoozing in the hammock, Belize is on your doorstep, which means some of the best scuba diving in the world, fabulous beaches and Mayan ruins to explore.\u00A0Cabanas at\u00A0St Georges Resort\u00A0from \u00A390 per night.  3. Pangkor Laut, Malaysia Surrounded by rainforest and pristine sandy beaches on a private island off the west coast of Malaysia, Pangkor Laut is our Robinson Crusoe desert island fantasy, only with really gorg\u00A0wooden sea villas. Standing elegantly on stilts in Emerald Bay, each has a king-size bed, balcony and enormous bath with sea views. Two pools, yoga deck and rainforest walks are calming diversions, but if you still need to unwind you can\u00A0book a\u00A0treatment\u00A0at the Spa Village, which offers ancient Malay, Chinese and Thai healing rituals. And relax\u2026 Rooms from\u00A0\u00A3139\u00A0per night,\u00A0Pangkor Laut.  4. Pulau Joyo, Indonesia Originally bought as a holiday home for the family of a shipping magnate (nice), Pulau in the South China Sea now has six stilted pavilions made from driftwood for guests, each filled with amazing Balinese furnishings. Ringed by white sand, the island has a chef to whip up delicious Indo fish curries (you can dine where you like) and a boat to charter for expeditions to nearby islands. Rooms at\u00A0Pulau Joyo\u00A0from \u00A3165pn. \u00A0    5. Aman Sveti Stefan, Montenegro This swoonsome island hotel is housed in\u00A0a converted 15th century fishing village reached via a narrow causeway. It&amp;#039;s high end stuff and perfect for a romantic weekend away, the\u00A0amazing\u00A0spa has\u00A0private hydrotherapy suites with herbal baths big enough for two.\u00A0After a day&amp;#039;s pampering stroll back hand-in-hand along a maze of cobbled streets to dine in the central piazza before hitting your suite \u2013 south facing villas 38 and 40 have\u00A0small terraces surrounded by pomegranates, roses and lavender. Book at\u00A0Aman Sveti\u00A0Stefan.\u00A0  6. Aitutaki Lagoon Resort &amp;amp;amp; Spa, Cook Islands Okay, this tiny private island in the South Pacific\u00A0is a really, really, really long way away (the flight&amp;#039;s are more than 24 hours) but...step\u00A0ashore on Bligh&amp;#039;s Beach and you have landed in paradise. It really is worth making the journey to\u00A0marvel at the white, white sand, then check into one of the nine new beachfront bungalows facing the champagne sands of Sunset Beach, or bag an over-water wooden bungalow; woven palm frond walls, cream beds and steps into the water. The real star here, however, is the lagoon dotted with uninhabited sandbars. It&amp;#039;s THE perfect place for honeymoons, in\u00A0fact you can even take a boat trip to Honeymoon Island where you can plant a coconut palm together then\u00A0enjoy a lunch of freshly-caught fish on the world&amp;#039;s best beach. Bungalows\u00A0from about \u00A3200\u00A0per night, Aitutaki Lagoon Resort.\u00A0    "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
