So, you're planning a summer holiday in Asia, but where to stay? If Vietnam, India, the Maldives, Indonesia, or Cambodia are your target destinations, then you're in luck, because they're home to some of the best hotels in the region – according to TripAdvisor at least.
Booking platform TripAdvisor has just announced the winners of its Travellers' Choice Awards Best of the Best 2025. Among the categories is a ranking of the best hotels in Asia, awarded to properties with a high volume of "above-and-beyond reviews and opinions" from TripAdvisor users over a 12-month period. Fewer than 1 percent of the listings of TripAdvisor's 8-million-strong database manage this, so you can bet they're legit.
Grandvrio Ocean Resort Danang in Vietnam emerged as the best hotel in Asia for 2025. It's located in Dien Ban in Quang Nam Province, a coastal town just between its better-known neighbours, Danang and Hoi An. This resort is lavish, with modern pool villas dotted across a spacious, plant-filled compound close to the beach. Something unique that TripAdvisor reviewers loved: a Japanese-style onsen bath where you can soak your stresses away.
Two hotels in India come next on the list: Gokulam Grand Turtle on the Beach, an elegant seafront resort in the coastal town of Kovalam, and Chandys Windy Woods, a hilltop hotel with fascinating guest experiences like forest tours, bird-watching walks, and trekking in the surrounding tea plantations. These are good representations of India's diverse appeals.
No surprises that hotels in the Maldives also made the list – it's the ultimate tropical beach getaway – with Siyam World Maldives coming in at No. 4. This all-inclusive resort has 16 accommodation categories such as water villas, two-bedroom lagoon villas and sprawling beach residences (some with slides and direct beach access!). TripAdvisor reviewers say it's a paradise for families, with plenty of activities like horse riding, water obstacle courses, and electric go-kart to keep the young ones busy.
