These luxurious destinations don't come cheap, but they will blow your mind...

It doesn't come much more luxurious than these exotic holidays that will suit even the most adventurous travellers.

Journey to the far corners of India, the valleys of Bhutan or the oceans around Darwin's Galápagos Islands for something a little bit different in 2013.

You could go to Spain, but doesn't Bali sound just that little bit more exciting?

Here's our pick of the most up-and-coming and untouched locations on the planet and, luckily, they've all got somewhere very special to stay when you get there...

Now this really is one for the bucket list! Go on the ultimate sea-fari around the Komodo Islands in a stunning sail boat. These undiscovered waters around Indonesia are best explored on Alila Purnama, a 46 metre traditional Phinisi. On board you'll find ultra modern accommodation for ten people and 16 crew members who will spoil you rotten. You'll fly direct to Labuan Bajo from Bali, then sail via Rinca Island, where the Komodo dragons reside, to east Sumbawa in the Flores Sea. Surfing, kayaking, snorkelling and fishing are all on the menu. Take the trip from 6 April to 29 November 2013 for six nights. But this one won't come cheap - the tour will set you back £4,099 per person including all meals, water activities, island excursions, transfers and National Park admission
