Detox Retreat @ The LifeCo Phuket

Published by Beatrice

It has been almost 2 years since my last proper juice fast so N and I decided to head to Phuket to do a 3 day detox! The LifeCo Phuket is located around a lake, and is the newest kid on the block in Phuket to offer most natural solutions to fight against ageing and diseases. I decided to try out the LifeCo Phuket because I agree with their 360 degrees holistic approach together with healthy nutrition, anti-ageing and well-being therapies, prevention treatments for chronic diseases and cancer as well as pampering and beauty treatments alongside with spiritual therapies, all in the same complex. I love that they also have doctors and nurses – look forward to them giving the most updated and holistic advice for our health. The LifeCo may be new in Phuket, but their first outlet in Turkey has been opened for more than 10 years. I was quite excited to know that celebrities fly themselves to The LifeCo in Turkey just to detox! We were warmly welcomed at the airport on …

The one villa in Phuket you have to experience…

Published by Beatrice

Villa Noi is by far our best beach holiday and retreat experience. We hunt around a lot for deals on luxury boutique villas and yet Villa Noi has been able to surpass all our experience so far! Villa Noi is situated on Natai Beach, Phang Nha, just north of Phuket, just 25 minutes from the Phuket International Airport. For those who are familiar with Aleenta Phang Nga, Villa Noi is right next to it. Villa is a private family villa and was designed by Duangri Bunnag, and constructed in 2010. Villa Noi is an award-winning Thai modern home that has been featured in various high-society publications such as The Modern Thai House / Innovative Design in Tropical Asia and Houses by Thai Architects. I was stunned when I was reading in the pavilion and realized Villa Noi is the villa on the cover page of Houses by Thai Architects. Never thought I would ever have a chance to live in one of these homes! One of the reasons why Villa Noi is our top villa …

Aleenta, Phang Nga - beach

Aleenta @ Phang Nga (Phuket)

Published by Beatrice

This is another post dated entry on a resort we like very much, but we only stayed for a short one day. Sister resort of Aleenta @ Huahin we stayed at recently, Aleenta @ Phang Nga (Phuket) was my first and beautiful encounter with Aleenta. In Phuket, Aleenta @ Phang Nga is definitely my top favourites alongside Sala Phuket. As we only stayed a day previously, we didn’t get to take many pictures but I believe these few are beautiful enough to paint a fair picture of Aleenta @ Phang Nga and why we would definitely love to be back! As Aleenta describes the room, “Breathe in the ocean splendor… These lofts with ocean view are expansive in height and depth with an Infinity pool extending from your private sundeck… Exciting design and individually unique…”. Truly, the modern duplex with the high ceilings give a magnificent view of both the infinity pool and the sea. We definitely hope to be back, and take better shots this time around! — Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort and …

Sala Phuket

Published by Beatrice

I went to Sala Phuket a while ago, but Sala Phuket remains one of my favourite boutique resorts in the region so I decided to do a post-dated feature. I have also stayed in Marriott and Twin Palms in Phuket but looking back, the memories of Sala Phuket still beats the rest for me. Not my best set of photos either (wasn’t thinking of having a blog previously) but I will let the pictures do the talking! In the Garden Pool Villa, the bedroom overlooked an outdoor veranda, gardens and a private swimming pool, which I felt was really private as it was a walled up garden, and the people living on top did not have windows to look down. Sala Phuket also has an award winning Beach Restaurant. My food shots were really bad so I won’t share them as they won’t do justice to the food, but you will definitely get to try if you stayed in Sala as they offer free breakfast. I loved how the poolview at breakfast immediately relaxes the mind and …
