Unveiling the most luminous Lyman-{\alpha} emitters in the epoch of
  reionisation
  Distant luminous Lyman-alpha emitters are excellent targets for detailed
observations of galaxies in the epoch of reionisation. Spatially resolved
observations of these galaxies allow us to simultaneously probe the emission
from young stars, partially ionised gas in the interstellar medium and to
constrain the properties of the surrounding hydrogen in the circumgalactic
medium. We review recent results from (spectroscopic) follow-up studies of the
rest-frame UV, Lyman-alpha and [CII] emission in luminous galaxies observed
~500 Myr after the Big Bang with ALMA, HST/WFC3 and VLT/X-SHOOTER. These
galaxies likely reside in early ionised bubbles and are complex systems,
consisting of multiple well separated and resolved components where traces of
metals are already present.
