Thailands luxurious 56-room boutique residence, The Sarojin, has launched a new Wake Up To Wellness package for 2020 bursting with activities to enrich the body and soul - from mindful meditation, detox smoothies and luxurious spa treatments to a sunrise spiritual blessing and volunteering in the local community.
From THB 50,012 (approx. ?1,267), two people can relax and recharge with six nights in a Garden Residence, two 90-minute yoga and meditation classes each, a sunrise Spiritual Blessing of Love experience at a Thai temple, a Spa Cuisine lunch for two with detox smoothies, two 60-minute spa treatments per person, a ?Sarojin Cares Day? excursion to the local community, all day a la carte breakfast each day with sparkling wine served until 6pm, a private beach breakfast on one morning and private transfers to/from Phuket International Airport.
Guests can begin their wellness stay with blessing from a Thai Buddhist monk at a local temple. During the ceremony, which is held as the sun is rising in the sky, the monk gently pours holy water over the guests while chanting ancient mantras to cleanse the spirit.
Back at the resort, guests can engage their chakras and make mindfulness their mantra with two 90-minute yoga and meditation classes during their stay. Led by The Sarojin's expert teacher, Justine Capdevielle, in either the resort's gardens or besides the pool, guests are guided through a gentle session of stretching and toning with Vinyasa Yoga followed by restorative meditation to fully relax the body.
As part of the package, guests can also indulge in two 60-minute spa treatments each at Pathways Spa. Guests can enjoy Thai or Aroma massage in one of the spa's open-air treatment pavilions, followed by a special Spa Cuisine Lunch complete with detox smoothies and a menu of healthy eating options designed by The Sarojin's Executive Chef Gogh.
To end their stay, guests have the option to join the resort's team during one of the resort's regular volunteering excursions. The ?Sarojin Cares Days", which give back to the local community surrounding the residence, are free for guests to join but donations are welcomed to The Sarojin Community Care Fund. A regular excursion in the initiative is to the Mangrove Forest Planting Project in Baan Nam Kem, which was set up by local fishermen following the 2004 tsunami. Here, guests can help plant new trees and restore the vital mangrove ecosystem which was damaged by the disaster ? a truly rewarding way to complete a wellness retreat.
