Traveling with your significant other can be magical, and what better way to celebrate an anniversary than staying in some of the world’s most exclusive five-star hotels? We embarked on an unforgettable journey, exploring six unique luxury hotels, from a budget-friendly villa in Bali to the seven-star extravagance of a high-end suite in Vietnam. Here’s a closer look at the experiences we had along the way, each stay adding a new level of luxury and surprise.
1. Bali’s Hidden Gem – A Five-Star Villa with a Private Pool
Our journey began in Bali, where we stayed in an affordable yet stunning five-star villa priced at just $15. This magical place came with a private pool surrounded by lush greenery and plenty of space to relax. We explored every little detail of the villa’s intricate design, with each corner exuding a distinct Balinese charm. Imagine falling asleep to the sounds of nature and waking up to sunrise views that blend seamlessly into the villa’s indoor-outdoor ambiance. There were even a few “extra guests” in our room – small reminders of the villa’s jungle-like setting.
2. The Robot Hotel in Tokyo – A Futuristic Check-in Experience
Next, we headed to Tokyo and checked into a robot-operated hotel for around $100. The check-in experience here was unlike anything we’d ever seen: realistic-looking robots greeted us and completed the entire check-in process with eerie precision. The hotel’s uniqueness extended beyond the reception, with a robot-run café where servers and baristas operated through robotic systems, offering opportunities for people with disabilities to work remotely.
Inside our room, high-tech gadgets replaced traditional amenities. There was a futuristic “robot closet” that ironed clothes, and every element of the room was controlled by artificial intelligence. We spent hours exploring and marveling at this tech-laden room, with a VR headset providing an alternate universe of entertainment.
3. Tokyo’s Day Use Hotel – A Multi-Floor Amusement Wonderland
Our third stop took us to a highly themed hotel for about $500 a night. Each level of our suite featured a different, jaw-dropping theme. The first floor had a private water slide—yes, inside our room! Other floors included a cozy bedroom, a tennis court, and even a golf simulator. We spent hours exploring each floor and thoroughly enjoyed this one-of-a-kind experience that felt more like an amusement park than a hotel stay.
4. Halong Bay, Vietnam – A Yacht Stay Amidst a Natural Wonder
In Vietnam, we leveled up with a $1,000 five-star yacht experience through Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This floating hotel offered a serene, luxurious experience as we sailed through one of the world’s most scenic locations. Our suite included a private terrace, a jacuzzi with breathtaking views, and several rooms to explore, complete with welcome treats and a lavish living room. As we drifted along the emerald waters, we felt like we were in a fairy tale.
5. Singapore – An Underwater Room at a Luxurious Resort
Arriving in Singapore, we checked into a two-floor, underwater suite priced at $2,000 per night. Above water, the suite featured an ultra-modern bedroom and lounge, but the true highlight was downstairs: a fully underwater experience with floor-to-ceiling windows displaying the ocean’s vibrant marine life. Imagine waking up to schools of colorful fish swimming by, just inches from your bed! The underwater suite provided a dreamy experience, allowing us to dine and relax completely immersed in the aquatic world.
6. A Seven-Star Hotel in Vietnam – Ultimate Luxury and a Million-Dollar Ride
Our final stay took us to the world’s newest seven-star hotel, where just booking a room came with a complimentary airport pickup in a $1.2 million Rolls-Royce Phantom Dragon Edition. We were welcomed into the grandiose lobby, surrounded by intricate décor, opulent chandeliers, and designer furnishings. This hotel was more like a palace, with our suite featuring expansive living spaces, marble bathrooms, and rose-petal-covered bathtubs overlooking Saigon.
Every detail of our stay here spoke of luxury, from the champagne service to the handwritten notes wishing us a happy anniversary. It was the perfect way to conclude our journey, encapsulating the essence of high-end travel.

Every moment felt like a dream, and while the costs varied significantly, the unforgettable memories made it worth every penny.
