What could be more relaxing than a wellness retreat at an idyllic beachside luxury villa in Thailand? Enter stage - Baan Puri, the ultimate choice for a meditation retreat or wellness event. This luxurious six-bedroom villa seems to have been custom-built for relaxation and wellness vacations.
Start the morning with yoga on the beachfront garden to the hypnotic sounds of the surf. Meditation retreats can be organised inside the covered, open-sided pavilion by the pool. A long deck runs alongside the pool, and it can be set up for various activities as required.
Beach volleyball tournaments are fun and a great way to integrate sports into a wellness program. The white sand beyond the villa perimeter is soft and perfect for these. Several kayaks are available at the villa for races or simply to enjoy the water in teams of two.
Lessons in Thai boxing (Muay Thai) can be held on the lawned gardens or directly on the sand. Muay Thai instructors and their pupils will have all the space they need in this isolated beach stretch. Sunset walks are calming along the sand, as you wind down and reflect on the day gone by.
Baan Puri’s impressive entrance leads past a koi pond to the spacious living and dining pavilion where guests are greeted with spectacular views down the length of the 29-metre pool and out over the ocean. To the left of the living pavilion, stretching down towards the beach, are the four ground-floor bedroom suites, each offering privacy and luxury with differing outlooks over the sea, pool and tropical gardens. The two spacious upstairs bedrooms open on to a large terrace, catching the sea breezes and maximising the view. At the far end of the pool is a comfortably furnished sunken sala and swim-up bar fronted by a wide, beachside lawn.
Dining at Baan Puri is a moveable feast with your own private chef to prepare your favourite Thai and western dishes, to order. The villa menu offers a wide choice of popular specialties, including children’s favourites, and chef will also accommodate your own specific menu requests and dietary needs as far as possible.
Breakfast, which is included in the villa rate, is served on the breezy dining terrace or in the dining room as weather permits. Expect a spectacular spread of fresh local fruits and juices, freshly baked breads and pastries, and cooked breakfast with eggs and all the trimmings to order. Or you can choose to enjoy it in bed or on your private terrace. Lunch is served on the main dining terrace, lawn, or by the pool.
