This spring, Asia brings not only warm weather but also a wave of inspiring travel experiences. Whether you’re looking for nature, culture, or relaxation, here’s a selection of fresh highlights and destinations worth exploring in 2025.
Urban Jungle – Singapore
The newly opened Rainforest Wild Asia is Singapore’s first adventure park dedicated to wildlife and nature. Visitors can walk through dramatic karst landscapes, caves, and trails surrounded by 36 free-roaming animal species, including rare langurs. A must-visit for anyone who loves the blend of nature and city.
Volcano Climb and Bamboo Train
In the Philippines, thrill-seekers can hike or take an ATV to Mount Mayon, an iconic volcano with stunning views and dramatic slopes. For a slower pace, head to Cambodia and hop on the unique “bamboo train,” a fun and unusual way to travel through the rural landscape.
Beach Vibes and Misty Forests
On Bali, unwind at the luxurious Café del Mar Beach Club in Canggu – ideal for sunset views and cocktails by the sea. In contrast, Malaysia’s Mossy Forest in the Cameron Highlands is a dreamlike landscape with misty boardwalks and lush vegetation – a serene escape into ancient nature.
Hot Springs and Blossoms
In the Genting Highlands, the Yanné Onsen offers Southeast Asia’s first hot spring-themed retreat with mineral-rich pools, cherry blossoms, and Japanese-style private baths – perfect for wellness lovers.
Evening Canoe and Cultural Heritage
In Phuket, try a twilight canoe tour in Phang Nga Bay, explore sea caves and enjoy a dinner under the stars. In Taipei, don’t miss the National Taiwan Museum, the country’s oldest museum, showcasing local history, culture, and nature exhibits.

- Nyepi in Bali – the Day of Silence, when everything on the island stops for a day of reflection and spiritual renewal.
- Songkran in Thailand – the iconic Thai New Year celebration, full of water fights and joyful chaos.
