Redefining luxury coastal escapes, Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve has introduced an exclusive new offering that blends immersive sea journeys with refined villa living. The newly launched “Royal Andaman Sea Package” invites travellers to explore Southern Thailand’s breathtaking marine landscapes aboard a private luxury yacht.
Set along the pristine shores of Krabi, the resort offers a gateway to the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, where island-studded vistas and serene beaches create a picture-perfect setting for exploration and relaxation.

Accommodating up to 12 guests, the yacht features spacious interiors, a dedicated crew, and an onboard butler, ensuring a seamless and personalised journey. Guided by an experienced local captain, guests can discover hidden coves, secluded beaches, and scenic bays across the region.
The voyage includes visits to iconic destinations such as the Phi Phi Islands, James Bond Island, and Hong Island. Along the way, guests can swim in crystal-clear waters, snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, and unwind with gourmet dining experiences, tropical fruits, and Champagne onboard.
The Royal Andaman Sea Package further elevates the stay with accommodation in a luxurious Royal Beach Villa. Spanning 450 square metres, the villa features private gardens, an infinity pool, and panoramic ocean views, offering a serene and indulgent retreat. Guests are welcomed with VIP airport services and private in-villa check-in, setting the tone for a highly personalised experience.
The package includes daily breakfast served with ocean views, a wellness consultation with the resort’s Reserve Wellness Expert, a tailored 60-minute spa session, and a 120-minute signature spa ritual for two. A highlight of the stay is a full-day island-hopping cruise aboard the yacht, complete with a Reserve Gourmet Picnic curated by the onboard butler.
Back at the resort, guests can enjoy the signature “Dining Beyond” experience, crafted by the Executive Chef, adding a culinary dimension to the overall journey.
Speaking about the offering, General Manager Vidya Sagar highlighted the uniqueness of Southern Thailand’s coastal treasures and the resort’s commitment to delivering highly personalised and immersive luxury experiences.

TIA Wellness Resort is redefining how guests unwind with the launch of its new range of wellness bath rituals, designed to bring together relaxation, indulgence, and thoughtful experiences.
Set along the scenic coastline of Da Nang, the resort introduces four distinct bath rituals, Deep Slumber, Detox Harmony, Radiant Glow, and Romance Bliss each created to suit different moods and wellness needs. These experiences go beyond the usual soak, combining curated lighting, infused bath ingredients, personalised wellness drinks, and themed treats to elevate the overall experience.
Each ritual also encourages guests to begin with a pre-bath treatment, helping the body fully relax and making the soak more effective.
“There are many trends in wellness that come and go but a relaxing soak in a tub has long been known to be beneficial,” said Ramon Imper, general manager of TIA Wellness Resort. “We’ve taken a simple yet effective wellness practice and elevated it into an experience that we hope guests will remember long after their holiday.”
The Deep Slumber ritual focuses on improving sleep quality, starting with calming therapies before leading into a lavender-infused bath with natural ingredients like Epsom salts and dried mugwort. Soft lighting and a Lavender Reishi Latte add to the calming atmosphere, helping guests ease into rest.
For a more cleansing experience, the Detox Harmony ritual draws from traditional Vietnamese botanical practices. It blends native forest herbs with ingredients like ginger and lemongrass, complemented by a detox tea and healthy treats, creating a refreshing reset for both body and mind.
The Radiant Glow ritual is centred around skin nourishment, featuring a floral bath infused with green tea, rose petals, honey, and coconut milk. Guests can pair this with a refreshing collagen-based drink and skincare elements for a complete glow-focused experience.
Meanwhile, the Romance Bliss ritual is designed for couples, offering a candlelit bath setup with floral elements, essential oils, and indulgent touches like chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne, creating a warm and intimate setting.
With these new offerings, TIA Wellness Resort continues to focus on holistic wellness, blending traditional practices with modern comforts to create meaningful and memorable stays.
