Santiburi, the high-end, experience-driven beachfront retreat on Koh Samui’s stunning north shore, has unveiled a series of personalised “love” experiences through its LEN programme to guests get in the mood for Valentine’s Day and a month of romance at the iconic resort.
While the world is busy blowing up heart-shaped balloons and arranging bouquets of red roses, Santiburi understands that l’amour comes in many different forms. In Sanskrit, which was the root of the Thai language, there are 96 different words for love, and this diversity is reflected by the choice of experiences on offer at Santiburi, which that can be customised to suit each couple.
Santiburi’s Valentine’s Day activities are underpinned by Lèn, the resort’s creative concept that allows every guest discover their own happiness. In Thai, Lèn means “play”, and this inspiring initiative comprises a choice of programmes that enable each guest to follow their own personal path and curate their own stay.
Lèn comprises five distinct programmes – Adventure, Relax, Romance, Culture and Family – each of which embraces three elements: Spa, Activities and Gourmet. This creates an amazing array of opportunities for couples to personalise their Valentine’s Day stay. Whether you’re a pair of young lovers who want to enjoy private moments together, parents who want to share your devotion with your family, or mature guests seeking new adventures to share together, Santiburi can design your own heartfelt journey.
Naturally, Lèn’s Romance programme will come to the fore this February. A choice of spa treatments includes the resort’s signature “Fountain of Youth Facial”, which is ideal for couples wo want to feel refreshed and revitalised, or the “Garden of Deep Calm Massage”, which is perfect for guests with busy city lifestyles. Alternatively, the “Elixir of Love” will ignite passions by blending a blissful body massage with a candlelit bath, sparkling wine and chocolates.
