Kardashian-level luxury minus annoying Kardashians

Kardashian-level luxury minus annoying Kardashians

Forget what you thought you knew about luxury. The world of travel is taking the meaning of luxury to a whole new level. Think showers in the sky, personal butlers, private plunge pools and liberal sprinklings of gold – real gold.

Hotels too are upping the ante in the luxury segment, offering guests bigger and better benefits to make their stay truly memorable.

We round up the three luxury touches that are getting us hot under the collar:

It’s just not enough to have a luxurious room anymore.

Now, guests demand exclusive facilities and personalised attention throughout their stay. This is where club offerings come in. Not only are club rooms more spacious, but guests that stay in them also have access to a range of enhanced amenities and additional benefits (available at all Centara Grand properties) such as five meal services a day, canapes and cocktails whilst watching the sunset to name only a few.

Our tip: Skip the crowded breakfast room, and instead enjoy the complimentary buffet breakfast available in the club lounge. You’ll enjoy personalised service and quieter surrounds.

Centara Grand Beach Resort Krabi has just opened a new improved club lounge providing a comfortable, spacious area where guests can experience an added level of service and attention.

A Club level package also includes the service of three complimentary meals per day, including breakfast, mid-day snacks, afternoon tea and evening cocktails. Guests additionally receive a free laundry service, a welcome drink, a 10 percent discount at all hotel outlets, plus a generous 30% percent discount at the award-winning Spa Cenvaree.

Then, of course, there is the spa.

Nothing is more decadent than spending a few hours being utterly pampered in the most serene of surroundings. Centara’s award-winning Spa Cenvaree offers Thai treatments that are guaranteed to relax you, and can be found at 35 different Centara locations.

Our tip: Opt for a couple’s massage with your nearest and dearest in one of the couple treatment suites with private Jacuzzi.

 

Relaxing can be hot and sweaty work so why not cool off in style.

Retreat to the sanctuary that is your spacious pool suite, which comes complete with your very own plunge pool for refreshing dips whenever the temperatures rise.

Our tip: Check out the amazing new pool villas at Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives where you can cool off in your very own 12-square-metre plunge pool with views across the ocean or enjoy fantastic snorkelling just a few steps down from your terrace.
