Six Senses Destination Spa Phuket
|
On its own island just off the coast of Phuket, this new spa combines Thai, Chinese, Indonesian and Indian therapies with the latest research in nutrition and fitness.
BEST FOR: Leaving the rest of the world behind! You get your own cottage with pool, butler, garden and a tailor made wellness programme. There's a plethora of holistic and spa therapies to choose from, plus power-walking, kinesis, core-strength classes in the exercise studio and more.
AFTER SPA: There's the glory of your own villa, the beaches, gentle boat rides to outlying islands, snorkelling and scubadiving. You can also take a speedboat into Phuket to visit the Buddhist temples or shop.
GO WITH: Even though it's a serious spa, it's great for couples (there's even a special Reawakening Love programme), but you won't feel awkward if you come alone.
COST: Individual treatments aren't cheap, starting from £100, so the best way to visit is on a package. Cleveland Collection offers five nights in a pool villa, all meals, two hours of spa treatments daily, classes, and all flights from £1,999. Call 0845 450 5732; clevelandcollection.co.uk.
