Palau
This little morsel of paradise about 70km north of Koror is a dream come true for those looking to come down a few gears. Accommodation is in cosy bungalows and cottages, which blend perfectly into the tropical gardens. Your biggest quandary here: a bout of snorkelling (or kayaking), or a snooze on the white-sand beach? A great escape.
It's also a good stop for lunch if you're touring the island.
