A ranking of the top 100 hotels in the world is out – here are all the ones in Asia
If you're travelling to Asia anytime soon, there's a new ranking of the best hotels in the region that may spark some inspiration. Travel + Leisure just released the results of its World's Best Awards survey, which ranks top cities, islands, hotels, resorts, and more based on votes by almost 180,000 T+L readers. This year, 33 hotels in Asia made it to its ranking of the 100 best hotels in the world, based on criteria like rooms and facilities, location, service, food, and value-for-money.
2025's top Asian hotel is perfect for those in love with the island life. Nay Palad Hideaway in Siargao, Philippines ranks No. 10 in the world with a score of 99.37. A stunning result, considering that Nay Palad Hideaway is a newcomer to the list. The resort is all-inclusive, with sprawling villas offering private private pools, beach access, pavilions, and tree houses. Activities are covered too, from mangrove kayaking to surfing the legendary Cloud 9 break.
The rest of the list represents a pretty even balance of island luxury and city glamour. If you're looking for a remote getaway close to the ocean, there's no going wrong with hotels like Shangri-La Boracay, Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort, or The St. Regis Bali Resort. Or settle in private sanctuaries smack in the middle of the urban whirl at spots like Regent Hong Kong, EQ Kuala Lumpur, and The Langham, Shanghai. You can even get a little wild at The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort in Ranthambhore, where you can join game drives to stalk elusive Bengal tigers in the national park.

Skytrax World's Cleanest Airlines 2025: Nine out of the top 10 are from Asia
Whether you're stuck on a speedy two-hour flight or a long-haul journey across the world, the last thing you want is a grimy seat, litter in the pockets, and washrooms that smell less than petal-fresh. It's not a simple matter of comfort, we'd argue – hygiene counts for much more in a post-pandemic world. If you'd like a level of guarantee when it comes to aircraft cleanliness, you can turn to the authorities over at Skytrax. The airline and airport review website recently announced its ranking of the World's Best Airlines for 2025 – and winners in a host of other categories, including cleanliness. For its World's Cleanest Airlines 2025 ranking, it rated the cleanliness and presentation of seat areas, tables, carpets, cabin panels, washrooms, and more to determine the final results. Topping this squeaky clean list is Taiwanese airline EVA Air. This is the first time that the airline has received this honour from Skytrax, having moved up from the No. 3 position last year. It's an all-round good airline though, having maintained its 5-star rating from Skytrax for 10 years now. We're proud to say that the World's Cleanest Airlines list is dominated by Asian airlines. A full 13 Asian carriers are on the list, with nine filling out the top 10 ranks. After EVA Air is Japanese airline ANA All Nippon Airways at No. 2 and Hong Kong carrier Cathay Pacific Airways at No. 3. Qatar Airways just edges out Singapore Airlines – awarded the best airline in Asia for 2025 by Skytrax – which sits comfortably at No.5. Ranks six through 14 are filled by Asian airlines from China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Check out the full list below.

What to expect from the menu The menu features a selection of appetisers, soups, mains and desserts – all crowd-favourites that showcase the best of Far Eastern cuisine. Begin with laksa or for something light, a hot bowl of miso tofu soup, then dig into grilled river prawns, vegan bibimbap or a proper beef tapa with garlic rice. Got space for more? The nasi goreng with satay, tomato-braised fish and Vietnamese-style lemongrass chicken have your name written all over them. Korean childhood favourite japchae and or Japanese classic katsu curry make an appearance, too. As for drinks, they're keeping things fun with a lineup that includes Vietnamese coffee, ube lattes, mango sago and Thai milk tea, all ideal for cooling off after all that spice.

Another must-try is the mango sticky rice brûlée – a modern twist on a Thai classic. Sure, tickets to the Far East might break the bank, but a visit to 77 Asia will not.
