Phuket is a paradise for those needing to stop their busy lives
and relax during a holiday. The beaches are a great place to lie
in the sun, swim in the clean water and then have a massage. Beach
massage as offered on Phuket is not traditional Thai massage but
is a body therapy designed to relax. Thai women sit under shade
umbrellas and will give a one hour oil massage for under 300 baht.
Most of Phuket's five star resorts offer spa treatments which cost
more but are given in the beauty and comfort of a tropical paradise.
At the Nakalay Spa at the Thavorn Beach Village, luxurious open
air villas made from teak and marble invite guests to indulge in
a variety of massage as well as body treatments.
The Banyan Tree Spa has two locations at Laguna Phuket, one in
the Banyan Tree Resort and the other at the Sheraton Grande Laguna
Beach. The spa treatments are world famous as this health and beauty
retreat has been named as the world's top spa by Conde Nast's Traveller
magazine.
In Phuket Town, the Spa offers not only massage and beauty treatments
but aerobic classes and a full range of machines which quickly tone
and build body and muscle mass.
Le Meridien has two Spa operations. The expanded center at Le Meridien
Phuket features Jurlique products for facials as well as massage
therapies from around Asia and their Spa at Le Royal Meridien Phuket
Yacht Club also has a body wrap with healing mud from the Dead Sea.
And for those who want to have a more natural healing experience
in the jungle, visit the Hideaway Spas located at Patong, Kata and
Cherngtalay where exotic Thai herbs such as prai, a local ginger
and lemongrass are used in the steam rooms to relax and refresh.
No visit to Phuket is complete without a massage. You will never
have a greater choice of massage at more attractive locations than
on this island.
