Six Senses Resort In Phuket

There are few places in the world as picturesque and idyllic as Koh Yao Noi. A forty-five minute boat ride from Phuket, the island lies amid the astonishing limestone pinnacles of Phang Nga Bay. It is the sort of place where the stresses of urban life become all but a fading memory and it is here where the award-wining Six Senses resort is located.

True tropical luxury in a simple, unpretentious manner, the resort comprises a plethora of creature comforts, discreet, yet attentive hosts and its own private stretch of white sandy beach.

Scattered across 10 hectares, the resort has 56 villas which are built using local building techniques and natural woods with roofs thatched with sugar palm. Inside the room, the canopied oversized beds with crisp white linens will tempt guests to retire early, while the open-air bathroom, shower and sitting room areas invite one to enjoy the island's tropical surroundings in style and comfort. Each of the villas has an infinity-edges pool and terrace from which to appreciate the expansive view of the bay or indulge in a private romantic meal with your loved ones.

For those who need to check your emails or surf the web, the resort provides wireless internet access in the public areas. If you are travelling on business and require secretarial services and meeting rooms, simply contact the staff to tailor your needs and preferences.

The Six Senses Spa is a must for those seeking total relaxation. Utilising ancient Thai spa traditions and natural ingredients, the tantalising list of massages, therapies and baths also has special packages for couples.

Dining at the resort is equally exceptional. All dishes are prepared using local, organically grown produce to provide fresh, crisp flavours. The all-day dining at the Living Room Restaurant offers mouth-watering buffets alongside barbecued favourites on the beachfront. A more formal setting is found at the Dining Room Restaurant, where Mediterranean specialities are served in the main restaurant or at the private pavilions among the mangroves. Delectable Thai cuisine and a noodle bar are found in the intimate setting of the Main House Restaurant, where wine aficionados will be delighted to peruse through the extensive glass-cased, duplex wine cellar for that perfect complement to their meal.

Beijing is the capital of China. In Chinese, it means "capital in the north". Each and every year, this great city has attracted millions of visitors from all over the world to enjoy and experience its rich culture, history and fabulous scenery.

If you are coming to Beijing, looking for the right hotel with the right budget is not an easy task especially for first-time traveller. Beijing has so many different types of hotels to offer, ranging from low-cost budget hotels to very expensive luxury hotels. The choice of hotels really depends on the traveller.

Generally, I would think that the Beijing International Hotel fits the bill for most travellers. This 4-Star hotel is located at Chanan Street, a very famous and busy business area in Beijing. The hotel is about 28 km from the airport and is near the Forbidden City, also known as the Imperial Palace. Other interesting places of interest near the hotel are the COFCO Plaza, the Herderson Centre and the Bright China Chanan Mansion.

The restaurant offers a variety of food including Japanese and Cantonese food. If you prefer to dine at your room, there is a 24 hours room service available at your command.

There is a full-service health spa with massage and treatment rooms for the ladies and a business centre with small meeting rooms for the business traveller. Secretary services can also be arranged if needed.

Choosing the wrong hotel can spoil your entire trip and bring back bad memories.
