Southeast Asia & Indian Ocean Desk
The Sarah Jenkins byline covers our Southeast Asia and Indian Ocean coverage — Bali, Phuket, the Maldives, and value-luxury pool destinations across the region.
The Sarah Jenkins byline represents our editorial desk for Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. It covers pool villas, beach resorts, and jungle retreats across Bali, Phuket, the Maldives, and emerging value-luxury destinations in the region.
The desk's editorial angle is value-luxury: finding properties where pool quality, privacy, and service genuinely match the price, regardless of brand. Coverage emphasises specifics that listings often omit — actual pool dimensions, heating arrangements, distance from neighbouring properties, and how a pool performs across different times of the year.
Posts under this byline are AI-assisted in research and drafting and reviewed before publication. Source data for property ratings and prices is drawn from public listings (primarily Booking.com). See our [editorial standards](/editorial-standards) for full methodology.
