TRAVEL NOTES
HEALTH AND LUXURY
Forget the usual muddy bootcamps with miserable skimmed-milk porridge and daybreak marathons. Arcanum, above, a new uber-luxurious health spa sanctuary resort just launched offering guests weight loss and rejuvenation, the civilised way. The new resort overlooks the waters of Phuket. All guests receive their own personalised “health journey” program, including nutrition, energising exercise and restful relaxation. The resort has seven suites, each with the bells and whistles you’d expect from a swish resort. We can feel the shrinking waistline already. Ohmm!
Rooms from £288 per night. www.arcanum-phuket.com
NEW AMAN SPA IN TURKEY
Amanresorts is set to open its 24th resort in August this year. Dubbed Amanruya, the sleek pad is situated in a quiet valley on the Northern coast of the Bodrum Peninsula, overlooking the Aegean Sea. The property is surrounded by olive groves and features 24 villas each in Aman’s inimitable minimalist style with four-poster beds, private terraces and personal swimming pools. It has a three story library, four dinning pavilions, a wine and cigar lounge and (should your own not be big enough) a 50m length swimming pool. And all just a 30 minute drive from Bodrum airport. Enjoy!
