The ‘Land of Smiles’ is a truly multifaceted destination. From islands to jungle, there are myriad ways to experience this tropical paradise. No matter if you seek the beachside bliss of Hua Hin, the spiritual wellness of Chiang Mai, or the flop-and-drop luxury of Phuket, these three unique Aleenta resorts offer the perfect blend of indulgence and immersion in Thailand’s natural beauty. Here, relaxation isn’t just an experience – it’s a way of life.
So, which stay would you choose?
For beachside villas: Aleenta Hua Hin
With traditional thatched roofs, the option to collect your own eggs for breakfast and a ‘no TVs’ notion, Aleenta Hua Hin is a laidback tropical oasis where time seems to slow down. It might feel worlds away but this intimate hideaway on the Gulf of Thailand is only a three-hour drive from Bangkok.
Just steps from the water, the resort invites you to wake with the sunrise and embrace slow, mindful mornings with beachfront yoga and holistic wellness treatments. Embark on a guided bicycle tour through local villages, passing vibrant markets and fragrant pineapple plantations. Visit the onsite organic farm and chicken coop, where fresh produce is cultivated for the resort’s farm-to-table dining. For kite surfing enthusiasts, this is the ultimate haven to catch waves, while the culinary-keen can experiment with a Thai cooking and signature mixology class.
The wellness escape: Aleenta Retreat Chiang Mai
If there’s something Thailand does well, it’s a wellness retreat. And nowhere more so than at the boutique Aleenta Retreat, cocooned in the lush foothills of the culturally vibrant Chiang Mai. The serenity and spirituality of the Thai jungle is a fitting setting for this nature-inspired stay: awarded Best Wellness Haven in the National Geographic UK Hotel Awards 2023. The retreat’s extensive wellness programs are designed to restore balance, marrying yoga, mindfulness and Vipassana meditations with spa treatments and wholesome, health-led cuisine.
The resort’s design pays homage to Thai tradition, like the four-bedroom villa crafted from 100-year-old teak and traditional tearoom. The world-class Ayurah Spa offers soothing treatments rooted in ancient healing practices, like massages inspired by the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire. Gourmands will be satiated here too. Tuck into farm-to-table dining fare at The Garden and pair handcrafted cocktails from the 1892 bar with signature vegan delights like the khao soi gyoza. The holistic experience can be deepened with monk-led spiritual ceremonies, nature excursions, and workshops that encourage self-discovery.
For flop-and-drop all-inclusive luxury: Aleenta Phuket Resort & Spa
Aleenta Phuket Resort & Spa is perched along the soft sands of Natai Beach and offers everything you could want from a flop-and-drop, including proximity to the airport, entertainment on your doorstep and all-inclusive indulgence. The spoils of this award-winning resort, which is a member of the prestigious Leading Hotels of the World collection, are all within 25 minutes’ drive of Phuket International Airport. Check in here to expect expansive, indulgent suites, all featuring private pools or swim-up access.
Spend your days lounging in a cabana beside the postcard-perfect infinity pool, unwinding with tailored wellness treatments at the Ayurah Spa, or savouring seasonal Thai fusion cuisine and seafood at the beachfront EDGE restaurant. For those seeking adventure, look to one of six championship golf courses located nearby or plan a day trip to the famous islands of Phang Nga Bay.
