Planning the Perfect Escape
Putting together the quintessential retreat is a breeze with the Best of Banyan Tree and Best of Angsana as these unique packages are designed to include exclusive dining and pampering highlights. Be tempted by culinary adventures with spectacular views of the South China Sea at Laguna Bintan Golf Club in Banyan Tree Bintan and a hearty traditional Tibetan hot pot of local herbs and spices, ham and poultry in Shangri-la. Or simply retreat to the spa and be rejuvenated by signature treatments like the 150- to 210-minute Royal Banyan – which features a calming Banyan Herbal Pouch Massage dipped in warm sesame oil, and Angsana Spa’s popular 120-minute Glow experience.
At Banyan Tree Phuket in Thailand, guests choosing Best of Banyan Tree will be checked into the Spa Pool Villa, where a private swimming pool, massage pavilion, jet pool and outdoor shower combine with the ‘floating’ bed pavilion to set the stage for pure relaxation. This is also the setting of a romantic gourmet barbeque dinner for two in the garden compounds. One session of the indulgent 180-minute Royal Banyan treatment session at the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa is the ticket to bliss, as the therapist applies a Jade face massage, lemongrass and cucumber scrub, followed by a herbal pouch massage and herbal bath, to revitalise and rejuvenate mind, body and soul.
At Angsana Velavaru in the Maldives, two sets of experiences await. Guests may either check into a spacious Deluxe Beachfront Pool Villa on the main island, or the Premier InOcean Villa which is part of a cluster of exclusive water villas located one kilometre away on the edge of the house reef. Guests at the Deluxe Beachfront Pool Villa are presented with a barbeque dinner which may be set up in the privacy of their own villa, or on the beach close to the gentle waves. Guests of the Premier InOcean Villa will be whisked by speedboat to their private castaway island, for an intimate, memorable dinner. Angsana Spa Velavaru gets into the picture offering one 120-minute Glow session: Suitable for both men and women, a body polish is gently applied to remove dead skin cells, while the refreshing massage revives tired muscles, all in an outdoor garden spa pavilion.
