Khao Lak, Thailand: Reborn

RAMADA RESORT KHOA LAK, THAILAND

I had the luxury to spend 2 days in a private, secluded getaway 50 minutes from Phuket International Airport. Basking on the sun, walk by the shores, drinks at the seafront bar, organic facial and herbal massage at the Spa...what can I say... new Paradise found...

Khao Lak is reborn and has risen above the devastation of the Tsunami 2 years ago and what I have found is a new sanctuary of peace, relaxation, privacy in affordable luxury.

Let the images speak for themselves...


...a cleaner beach without the crowd...very private moments are happening...



...a sense of arrival awaits you at the resort entrance....



Circular infinity pool by the beach.....



Sassi's bar...great for sunset cocktails....



And my villa fronting the beach... spotless seaview...10 steps literally from the shore...

A Fine Retreat to Hua Hin

I recently had the pleasure for a relaxing weekend at Hua Hin, Thailand and stayed at the AKA Hotel Resort & Spa.

AKA is an exclusive all private villa lakeside retreat located in the historic seaside resort of Hua Hin, one of Thailand's oldest and most traditional resorts for both Thais and overseas visitors. Hua Hin, a sanctuary frequented by the Thai Royal Family and nobility is home to the summer palace of King Rama VII, built by the King of Thailand as a hideaway naming it Klai Kang Won, meaning Far From Worries. Today, this is home for Their Majesties. Hua Hin is rich in cultural heritage and is within easy reach of Bangkok. A luxury resort designed by the Architect of other luxury five star internationally acclaimed spa resorts, offers elegant villas with emphasis on utmost privacy and attention to detail. AKA Resort nestles reclusively against a gentle hillside just five minutes from Hua Hin's charming town centre. Its design is elegant chic, blending traditional Thai and contemporary architecture. Fringed by mountains and blessed with natural lakes, monastic tranquility permeates AKA Resort affording it a unique ambiance. Guest villas are dotted around 10 acres of verdant tropical landscape and include private individual infinity-edge swimming pools, garden terraces, private courtyards and sala roof gardens. A retreat, an oasis of calm, a refuge from the pillages of modern city life, AKA Resort offers its guests a unique opportunity to relax, rejuvenate and rediscover their zest for life.

I recommend this resort to those who want to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life even for a few hours and enjoy a few moments of tranquility, peace and simplicity - in a yet luxurious ambience.
