2. Idyllic Retreats Are Exclusive

A big part of the appeal of staying at an Idyllic Retreat is the feeling of intimacy and exclusivity. These accommodations are quiet and exclusive. Many of them only cater to a few dozen guests, which guarantees a relaxed environment where you can enjoy the pristine surroundings and amenities without feeling crowded.

For instance, on Savasi Island Resort, you’re one of only 10 parties of guests staying at one of 13 beach villas on the 52-acre island. Furthermore, many of our Idyllic Retreats are located on private islands and feature overwater bungalows, arguably the most exclusive and intimate style of accommodation in the world. If you’re looking to escape to an exotic beach destination, escape to an Idyllic Retreat.

3. Idyllic Retreats Offer Unique Accommodation Experiences

If you’re looking for a unique place to stay at, Idyllic Retreats are sure to excite you. Many Idyllic Retreats offer unique accommodation experiences—and we’re not just talking about overwater bungalows, which are pretty special in their own right. No, we’re talking about accommodation experiences that you can only find in one place in the world: at an Idyllic Retreat.

For instance, at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, you can stay in a luxury two-level residence known as The Muraka. This remarkable accommodation not only offers two bedrooms, an ocean-facing bathroom, an outdoor deck with an infinity pool, and a 24-hour butler, but the master bedroom is located 16 feet below sea level! You can sleep underwater in your own private aquarium! 

In Thailand, you can stay at The Lighthouse room of The Racha, which is a five-storey tower that stands tall over the low-rise villas on the rest of the property. Enjoy privacy, outdoor showers, large terraces and balconies, and two massive master bedrooms. At Kaya Mawa in Malawi, you can stay at one of the 10 most romantic places in the world, according to Condé Nast. It’s smack dab in the middle of Lake Malawi, so talk about unique!

Goway’s Idyllic Retreats collection offers travelers the opportunity to enjoy intimacy, exclusivity, and unique accommodation experiences in exotic beach destinations worldwide. Get in touch with a Goway Destination Specialist to learn more and to book your own Idyllic Retreat today.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW

We have used Goway Travel for previous trips and have been very happy with their excellent service. Our last trip to New Zealand and Australia was no exception. Our agent, Lori Mazzono, got tuned into the sort of trip we were hoping to have immediately. The various booking she provided were, without exception, exceptional and exactly what we envisioned, We really don't think we would have changed anything. tBruce Belshaw

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly responsive and quick to assist with every update and change my clients made throughout the planning process. Her expertise was invaluable, from recommending the perfect resorts to advising on the best way to travel between the islands. My clients loved every moment of their trip, especially their resort stays and overwater bungalow experiences. As this was their honeymoon, creating a seamless and memorable journey was so important, and Mary exceeded expectations. They rated their experience a 5 out of 5 and could not have been happier. Thank you, Mary, for your outstanding support and attention to detail. I truly appreciated your partnership and would not hesitate to work with you again for future South Pacific Island bookings. I am from the TravelStore in Fresno.Jenn W

We had an exceptional experience with Goway Travel on our recent trip to Africa. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed, which made the entire journey stress-free. The recommendations on where to go and what to do were absolutely fantastic! Each stop felt perfectly curated and exceeded our expectations. It was clear that Goway truly understands the destinations they offer and knows how to create a memorable, well-balanced itinerary. A special thank you to our travel consultant, Bijal, who was outstanding throughout the entire process. Bijal was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive while we prepared for the trip, ensuring that all our questions were answered and that every detail was taken care of. Their guidance made a big difference in building our confidence and excitement leading up to the trip. I would highly recommend Goway Travel to anyone looking for a seamless, expertly planned travel experience. We will definitely be using them again for our future adventures! Harjit C

Elisa planned our trip. We were met at the airport by Paul who drove us to Arusha. Adam, our guide and driver was with us the whole trip and was very knowledgeable about the country and the animals & birds we encountered. Accommodations were excellent, meals were delicious and the Tanzanian people we met at each location were so kind and welcoming. A wonderful trip.pat vickers

We had a wonderful trip to Peru for 11 days organized by Goway. Overall the trip was great, we loved our guides throughout, some of the hotels were truly amazing and it was helpful having everything organized and having a point person to ask questions and check in while we were there. Some main highlights were: 1) Machu Picchu- I am so glad we did two tours, because the weather was perfect for views, but also had an opportunity to see Machu Picchu more in depth with a knowledgeable and friendly guide and had a little extra time in Aguas Calientes to shop, explore and even visit the butterfly garden and do some birdwatching. 2) Cusco especially the Hotel Aranwa Cusco. The hotel was incredible, excellent service, modern updates, it was a true highlight of the trip. Cusco itself was also a highlight, loved our half day tour, plus getting ideas for our guide on what else to see in our free time and where to eat. 3) Lima- Aloft Miraflores was another highlight, very modern, nice pool and the best breakfast out of the hotels we stayed in. The location in Miraflores was also perfect, as there were plenty of restaurants, cafes and attractions nearby. 4) Everyone at Condor was great, from ensuring we had all our documents, tickets and itinerary to even stepping in to get water and agua Florida when we were feeling the altitude sickness the first hours in Cusco. Most of our rides and transfers were very comfortable and made the trip run smooth through all the different locations. I have been telling my friends and family how wonderful the experience with Goway has been for our Peru adventure. Eric Paul Schatzel

Working with local guides, securing transfers and accommodations as needed. Great hotels, private transfers, perfect locations, and she listened to all of our "wants" to make sure our trip was truly customized. Made for an amazing trip!Lorena Baretta
