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 Phuket. 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
Beach, Kata
Beach 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.
