Four Seasons Resorts Thailand Celebrates The Festival of Lights

The unique combination of tropical appeal and cordial hospitality in Thailand is ideal for those who wish to travel in groups. In the Land of Smiles, Four Seasons Resorts Thailand is teeming with family-friendly activities and festival-inspired packages.

A Temporary Residence

With magnificent cliff-side views overlooking the azure blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is the ideal location for an idyllic island vacation. Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai is an enchanted landscape of rice terraces at the foothills of Thailand's northern mountains, cloaked in an exotic tropical green.

This Diwali, the resorts collection has curated unique opportunities for friends and family to celebrate togetherness and joy.

At these gorgeous resorts, the Private Retreats – Reunite and Reconnect package is ideal for multi-generational families, with two to five suites and dedicated personal attendants to accommodate to each guest's individual requirements.

Guests can enjoy the opulence of Private Retreats nestled within verdant tropical scenery, with expansive social spaces and private pools, as well as special privileges such as wellness treatments and in-residence dining.

Further north, the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle is tucked away in dense bamboo forests, offering the ideal off-grid experience for families and couples seeking a little adventure. With two cabins, a private terrace, and an infinity pool overlooking the jungle, the Explorer's Lodge is the epitome of glamping.

Suitable for Two

The Island Romance package at Koh Samui is ideal for Diwali honeymooners and couples celebrating anniversaries, as it includes intimate dining experiences on a private veranda and a rose petal and candlelit Jacuzzi for two. At the Camp, a curated three-night excursion in a Golden Triangle Tent offers complete privacy and an extravagant outdoor hot tub. The glamping experience in the Golden Triangle guarantees lifelong memories, whether it be breakfast at Camp Peak or supper by the riverside.

Flavours of Thailand Dining together is a symbol of the festival of lights, and Executive Chef Ruslan Shipunov's extensive repertoire of world-class menus at Koh Samui – which includes French, Italian, Russian, and Middle Eastern cuisine – perfectly complements the season. "In addition," he adds with enthusiasm, "our Executive Sous Chef Shanmuga Raja Ravi can customise a delectable Indian menu according to your tastes."

At Khao by Four Seasons in Chiang Mai (recommended by Michelin Guide 2023), pan-Thai heirloom recipes occupy centre stage. At North by Four Seasons, where the emphasis is on sustainability and freshness, guests can anticipate being served the finest grills. At Rim Tai Kitchen, an intimate Chef's Table or a culinary class introduces visitors to Thai cuisine firsthand.

"For something more intimate, we offer a moonlit dinner for two at the outdoor sala or a meal at the stunning Orchid Nursery - both experiences designed exclusively for you,"

  Tschudin explains.

Green-Themed Flavouring

Due to the abundance of fresh greens and vegetables in Thailand, resorts offer a variety of vegetarian menus to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions. Both Chiang Mai and Koh Samui offer a comprehensive "Live Well" menu that emphasises vegan and vegetarian-friendly dishes, as well as the health benefits.

Well-being and ConsciousnessA natural emphasis on a balanced lifestyle is inherent to Thai philosophy. Thais are experts in the art of contemplative living, and our resort in Chiang Mai seeks to offer guests an experience that combines a special diet, healing sessions, and spa programmes into a wellness package. Wara Cheewa Spa in Chiang Mai provides an extensive selection of therapies that can be tailored to meet specific requirements for those who prefer to indulge. The Secret Garden Spa, tucked away on a lush tropical hillside, draws its inspiration from the elements – both internal and external – and employs indigenous medicinal botanicals in its treatments. At the retreat in the Golden Triangle, natural elements also play a crucial role. The open-air wellness salas and treatments incorporating mountain botanicals offer holistic healing.

Please the EmotionsOccasionally, retail therapy is the only form of treatment required. Chiang Mai's old town and Nimmanhaemin Road are the best places for art, textiles, porcelain, and other handicrafts to be purchased by culture and craft enthusiasts.

All-Purpose ChildrenKids are not an afterthought at Four Seasons Resorts Thailand. Both Chiang Mai and Koh Samui offer a variety of amusing and entertaining activities for adolescents and young children that are inspired by Thailand's vibrant culture and arts. A dedicated Kids' Club with trained personnel ensures that every activity is safe and supervised. From beach activities, Muay Thai, and Coral Talk in Koh Samui to investigating tropical flora, umbrella painting, culinary lessons, and pottery in Chiang Mai, children have plenty to do while their parents enjoy their vacation.

"Revel in the intuitive opulence and breathtaking natural beauty of our three very unique resorts," grins Sean Mosher, General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and Tented Camp Golden Triangle. "Happiness and delight are what we are striving for as the end-of-year celebrations begin. Thailand by Four Seasons is a natural choice for our Indian guests seeking elevated experiences due to its unmatched natural grandeur and creative vision, says Mosher with a grin. Jasjit Assi, General Manager of the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, adds:

"From a seaside extravagance in Samui and a wellness haven in Chiang Mai to edge-of-the-jungle adventures in the Golden Triangle, the resorts represent the best of what Thailand has to offer, including cuisine, wellness, and experiences for families and couples."
