PHUKET, Thailand (June 16, 2022)Meliá Phuket Mai Khao, a wellness-inspired resort that fronts Phuket’s longest stretch of sand, has launched an eclectic series of classes and workshops ranging from singing bowl therapy and raw food demonstrations to Thai boxing and making a fresh Thai Jasmine rice scrub.

 

The resort, which debuted December 1 on secluded Mai Khao beach, has unveiled a “Energy for Life Activities” program offering a total of 18 different experiences.

 

The selection of activities “affords guests ample opportunity to explore as many varied facets of their wellbeing as they wish, by mixing and matching what appeals to them,” said Meliá Phuket Mai Khao’s general manager Magdalena Martorell.

 

Hour-long morning activities include sunrise tai chi and gentle yoga for beginners on the resort’s vast lawn overlooking Mai Khao beach, and an energizing walk on its buttermilk sands.

Guests are encouraged to tap into their spiritual side with singing bowl therapy and observing a traditional Thai spirit house blessing. ‘Lifestyle slow press juices’ and ‘raw food’ demonstrations at all-day dining restaurant SASA are designed to equip guests with the know-how to concoct healthy juices and raw food dishes at home.

 

YHI Spa hosts a workshop teaching guests how to make a fresh Thai Jasmine Rice scrub to exfoliate the skin. Private 75-minute yoga classes and cycling for up to three hours, amid the resort’s stunning natural surrounds, round out the Energy for Life Activities.
