I'd rent a beach house in Malaysian Borneo. Parts of it are a paradise, hardly any tourists compared to somewhere like Thailand and many speak English so you can get by. It's also pretty cheap.

Thanks! Since it's cheap, I could eat out more often, and spend less time on cooking & cleaning...

No worries. I spent four months backpacking through six countries and Borneo was the highlight for me. You could probably live quite comfortably for $6-7k/year.
