Skyfall: Twelve at Hengshan, Shanghai
Do a Bond by immersing yourself in the heights and bright lights of Skyfall’s Shanghai, before slinking back into a sanctuary in the heart of the city at the Twelve at Hengshan. Located in one of the city’s most historic districts, the luxury hotel encases a central ‘secret garden’ courtyard which is a garden oasis amidst the city's hubbub. The zen ambience created by imported trees and flowing streams carries into the spa where guests can relax in the herbal steam room or indoor heated pool – or channel their best tough-guy Bond pose under the ice fountain.

The Man with The Golden Gun: The Naka Island, Phuket
This private, all-villa island, set just off the coast of Phuket where The Man with The Golden Gun was filmed, is perfect for a covert-007-style escape. This secluded, coconut grove-laden island is encircled by white beaches with views of the Andaman Sea. And, just a short speedboat ride away lies the sublime James Bond Island. 67 villas, all equipped with private plunge pools and tropical gardens offer your own private haven. Naka Island also boasts the largest luxury spa in the region and is one of only two spas in Thailand that offers Watsu therapy.
