Tired of your hectic lifestyle? Need to take a breather?
Imagine lying faces down on a comfy settee or divan in soft lights surrounded by delightful aromas and music as skilful hands dexterously massage your back. Small wonder that the haut monde makes a beeline for
spas and resorts around the world. One such haven is the Ramada Resort Khao Lak hailed for its fabulous hospitality and magnificent treatment pergolas.
Driving up to the Ramada at Khao Lak is an eye-soothing experience itself as your senses get doused in the bracing vapors of the sea, the blanched beach with grainy gold, the varied floral colors of the surrounding foliage, and the sound of the sea gulls.
The Ramada Resort Khao Lak is situated in Phang-Nga, one of Thailand’s most sought-after beauty spots. Encircled by an archipelago of islands this jewel amongst the best spa hotels is reachable by car or cab from Phuket which is only an hour away. You may also make prior arrangements with the lake spa resort to have a private car pick you up for Baht 1,760 (up to three people) or Baht 2,750 for five people.
Where other spas and hotels are housed in soaring skyscrapers within limited space and boundary, the Ramada exists within a low-rise edifice that blends charmingly with its pristine shoreline backdrop.
Whether you are looking for a deluxe room 40 square meters in length or any of the ocean-front villas it is a good idea to book your reservation beforehand. Each guest room and suite in this lake spa resort comes with superb air-conditioning giving you the right of temperature control, satellite and cable television, 32-inch flat screen TV, coffee and tea making facilities, bathrobe and slippers, hair dryer. This is one of the few hotels with inner décor that is especially hand-crafted. The bathrooms feature terrazzo baths or wooden tubs – depending on size – along with an overhead shower. Villas, on the other hand, have a Jacuzzi in the bathroom.
The piece de resistance of course, is the spa featuring a steam room (herbal), a Jacuzzi, sauna as well as a rain shower outdoors. Lying sprawled in luxurious abandon indulge you in a massage comprising a healthy, soothing blend of current healing therapies with conventional Thai wellness techniques.
The Ramada also offers a range of palate-edifying eateries. For a great breakfast buffet check into The Kitchen offering you the choicest of breakfasts from all over the world. After breakfast you might want to explore the beach or drive into Phuket. In the evening you might want to dine out at Sassi’s Beach Club for a great martini experience before placing an order for fresh Thai seafood. The Club also serves great Italian dishes next to the Bang Niang Beach.
