Secret Retreats Expands its Collection in Asia and Welcomes 9 New Members

Secret Retreats

After the recent launch of Secret Inns, Secret Villas, Secret Cruises and Secret Tables, Secret Retreats is pleased to welcome 9 New Members into its portfolio, including a private estate on the east coast of Bali, an elegant floating camp in the remote jungles of Cambodia, and an adventurous cruise down Borneo's Rungan River.

 

“We are very excited with the positive response we have received so soon after launching our new labels and we will continue to enrich our collection with a variety of experiences in exotic destinations so that our guests can discover parts of Asia that are more removed from the main sight-seeing trails”. - Stephane Junca, Managing Director of Secret Retreats
