The stunning venues in lush settings profiled here range in style from the environmentally sustainable utilising indigenous materials, such as thatching and bamboo, to breezy courtyard spaces.

These homes take into account the dramatic natural landscapes – some are surrounded by tropical plantings, while others open onto dramatic sun-drenched beaches. The interiors incorporate organic textures such as cane and bamboo furnishings, some covered in exotic Indonesian fabrics, including ikat- and batik-style textiles.

Pool pavilions with decorative roof details are perfect for outdoor entertaining, and infinity pools are presented as a striking and organic part of the landscape. Beautifully photographed, this will inspire readers with design ideas that can be gleaned from these breathtaking dwellings.
