A top-notch luxury hotel resort will offer a wide choice of dining experiences to suit all tastes, from Thai to international cuisine, for all occasions.

Indulge in candlelit, beachside dining in the glow of the moonlight and stars or feast at a BBQ seafood buffet. It is dining experiences like these that make a luxury resort stand out from the crowd.

• Facilities and Recreation

Any luxury resort should have a beach and swimming pool, but a top-class resort will offer a lot more. A well-equipped fitness centre so you can keep up your routine, or perhaps embark on the fitness journey you always wanted to. A variety of activities, designed for families and delivered by well-trained professionals to keep your children engaged whilst having fun. A sauna and spa facility with a wide range of treatments, including massages.
