Lounge lizards

 Lounge lizards

A sun lounger on the beach is the best way to enjoy a holiday.

But the island's many headlands, natural bays and white sandy beaches mean that there will always be a secluded spot for everyone from the frugal backpacker to the paparazzi-plagued celebrity.

Top 10 most beautiful islands in China 

Our driver pulled up to the driveway of a spacious three-bedroom villa with a gorgeous infinity-edge swimming pool that was bigger than many hotel pools.

I quickly discovered that having two butlers around was something I easily became accustomed to. They were discreet yet readily available to brew fresh coffee, whip up delicious snacks or call us a buggy to take us to other parts of the hilly resort - all delivered with big smiles.

After getting a tour of the villa, we headed north to stretch our legs on nearby Naithon Beach. Trisara sits on a southwest-facing headland, with every one of its 50 villas strategically placed for privacy and sea views.

We loved the white sand of Naithon Beach, although the rough waves prevented us from doing more than getting our feet wet. There were the usual small shops selling beach gear, outdoor stands grilling fish and a few massage parlors.

We headed back to our villa to change for sunset drinks at The Bar, followed by a lobster feast at Trisara Seafood. Every Friday evening, the al fresco restaurant offers a five-course dinner with lobster featured in every dish. I loved the lobster sashimi starter and squid-ink pasta with lobster and tomato, but could have done without oddly sweet lobster souffle.
