Looking for a relaxing break? Thailand has the answer...
Where: Six Senses Sanctuary, Phuket, Thailand
Feelgood facts: Colourful Phuket is Thailand's most densely populated island, ever developing and eternally popular for the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. But there is another, less hedonistic, side of Phuket to discover. For those with a keen interest in a holistic health, there is the Six Senses Sanctuary, alone on the islet of Naka Yai. For well-heeled, eco-conscious travellers, this one-stop shop is akin to entering the gates of heaven.
Consultations on arrival identify which treatments you require - they then unfold in a breathtakingly beautiful spa with Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and Thai sections and every treatment known to man, from watsu to lomilomi. The spa design is exquisite: slabs of stepping stones crisscross pools; circular doors lead through bamboo gardens, arcades and meditation gardens. The thatched villas are a millionaire's version of a jungle village: imagine private pools and courtyard-style outdoor bathrooms.
Food is fishetarian and an extensive raw food menu is available. There are talks nightly (self-hypnotherapy and Ayurvedic healing, for example), and activities (yoga, tai chi, Thai boxing, Pilates, kayaking and mountain biking) galore. Visiting practitioners rotate monthly - from life coaches, yoga gurus and nutritionists to chakra balancers, crystal healers and rebirthers, you never know who might change your life.
It's good for: Those seeking a complete physical and spiritual overhaul.
Essential info: Rates start at about $720 per person, per night, but Six Senses is worth the outlay.
