The New Year has only just begun, but we’re already planning our vacays for the coming months. We can see ourselves taking plenty of trips around Asia this year, so we’ve been keeping an eye out for new hotels opening across the region. So far we’ve come across quite few that look absolutely amazing. From beautiful boutique hotels with loads of character to luxurious beach resorts right on the sand and even a grand old dame that will be reopening with a facelift, these are Asia’s best new hotels opening in 2019.

Mid March 2019: Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi
It may be located just a 30-minute yacht ride from the Male airport, but the new Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi (opening in mid-March 2019) is all set to offer Robinson Crusoe vibes. Spread out over three private islands, the resort features a range of stunning accommodation options including beach villas, reef villas and villas resting on stilts over the water. Spend your days suntanning on the white sand beaches, swimming in the crystal clear waters, getting pampered at the spa sanctuary and dining on gourmet dishes at 10 different dining venues.
