Southeast Asia Luxury

February 16, 2013

Anantara Hotels, Resorts and Spas offers luxury escapes for families in several Asian getaway destinations.  antantarelephantsAt each resort, Anantara offers extras such as welcome and departure gifts for children, kids’ in-room amenities and turn-down treats. Each property showcases unique and local family experiences. In Thailand, the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa’s on-site Elephant Camp, an expert “mahout” (elephant caretakers) teaches children the Thai commands to drive their very own gentle giant.  Families who journey down the Andaman coast to Anantara Si Kao Resort & Spa can swim through a cave to reach a hidden beach, take a boat trip in search of dugongs (similar to a manatee) and participate in natural conservation by planting mangroves. Venturing further afield across Southeast Asia, the Anantara Spa can be enjoyed by little ones at Anantara Seminyak Resort & Spa in Bali, Indonesia with manicures and pedicures and a chocolate facials designed for children. Kids surfing classes with Tropicsurf are also available. At the Anantara Kihavah Villas in The Maldives, a pirate cruise sails families to an uninhabited island to hunt for treasure and play Robinson Crusoe. They also may encounter marine life with a snorkeling trip or watch the underwater drama unfold at the resort’s unique underwater restaurant. As previously noted in our newsletter, at Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa, younger guests can learn about protecting the future of the destination in a tailor-made, educational excursion with a marine biologist.
