The theme of the December issue of The Life is travel, and readers stand a chance to win one of two luxurious holidays - a seven-night stay at the Soneva Fushi Resort in the Maldives, or four nights aboard the Aqua Mekong, a luxury river expeditions vessel by Aqua Expeditions.

The Maldives holiday, worth $22,300, consists of a stay at a beachfront two-storey Crusoe Villa, which comes with an open-air garden bathroom with bathtub and shower. A butler is at your service throughout. Activities at the resort include watching movies under the stars at Cinema Paradiso and gazing at the stars at the resort's Observatory.

The Aqua Mekong will take guests through Vietnam and Cambodia, exploring undiscovered areas of the Mekong River. The luxury 62.4 m-long ship has 20 spacious air-conditioned suites, each with a double-sink en-suite bathroom, king-size beds and floor-to-ceiling windows for full views of the river. During the journey, guests can disembark to take bicycle rides along the river banks and visit wet markets and local villages.

The contest closes on Dec 20.
