Why you should go: Koh Phangan is famous for its Full Moon parties. But for the rest of the month, it's about tropical beauty rather than body paint and techno. Secluded beaches, lookout hikes, ATV jungle excursions, kayak and snorkeling trips easily fill a week's stay. And there's always lounging by the infinity pool overlooking a private beach.

What's the big deal? Save up to 55% on seven-night (or more) stays at the upscale Panviman Resort. Cap off the vacation with extra perks, like hour-long massages and land/speedboat airport transfers.
