Add a splash of magic to Christmas & New Year

at Anantara’s two Koh Samui retreats


 

 

Exquisitely crafted cocktails, sipped in great company at sunset.  Festive feasts in exotic surrounds.  And your little treasures so happily entertained, that this year’s seasonal celebrations will be the most relaxing yet.  Welcome to Christmas and New Year by Anantara Resorts & Spas on beautiful Koh Samui.

 

Anantara Lawana Resort & Spa wishes guests a tropical twist on Merry Christmas, blending sumptuous island style with familiar seasonal traditions.  Start Christmas Eve with a sunset cocktail reception on the pool deck, where guests are coaxed into the festive spirit with nostalgic carol singing.  After mingling with fellow guests, dining unfolds in a seven course gala dinner of chef’s most impressive recipes featuring the freshest ingredients from land and sea, live music filling the air.  Santa drops by to make the kids smile, and a fire artist show will dazzle all, with this delightful night concluding with the release of flame lit lanterns into a star studded sky.

 

 

New Year’s Eve at Anantara Lawana takes place in beachfront exclusivity, in a seamless symphony of culinary art, fantastic entertainment and service so genuine and flawless that no-one will want the night to end.  Gather at the pool deck for the coolest island cocktails.  Take to a waterfront table to dine on an international buffet including live cooking stations and a fruit carving show.  Admire dramatic performances of traditional Thai dance, a cabaret and fire artist, before taking to the dance floor to amazing soundtracks, courtesy of a live band and DJ.  Release New Year wishes as flame lit lanterns ascend high into the island sky, and celebrate the dawning of 2011 with a bang at midnight, illuminated by a dynamic firework display.  And for those who wish to experience even more of the beauty of Anantara Lawana, a lucky draw offers chances to win hotel, activity and spa vouchers.

 

Anantara Bophut Resort & Spa rejoices with a medley of spirited events, combining the resort’s exotic location, Thai charm and acclaimed cuisine to create fun filled days and nights for the whole family.

 

Christmas Eve kicks off with a day that is just for kids, inviting little ones to make photo frames, play musical chairs, go hunting for treasure and have their faces painted, leaving parents with a carefree day to unwind, and unwind some more.  As the sun sets, a cocktail party at the Lily Pond Garden beckons guests to meet and chat with resort management and fellow guests, while members of staff have formed a choir to perform Christmas carols for everyone’s enjoyment.  Once the sun has slipped behind the horizon, either saunter into a magical beach kingdom for a gala buffet accompanied by a classical Thai dance show, or alternatively book a table at the award winning Full Moon restaurant, where the flavours of Christmas divulge a five course “Five Elements” menu to be savoured as guests drink in views across the pool and sea.

New Year’s Eve, once again, invites a day off from the usual parenting duties, this time with kids’ activities ranging from tropical candle making to nail and face painting, ensuring their full attention is grabbed.  A night to remember has a tantalising entrance, with a manager’s cocktail party at the Lily Pond Garden serving appetising canapés and creative cocktails as guests get to know each other and the resort’s friendly team.  As the anticipation of a brand new year rises, “Welcome to the Golden Full Moon” for a journey filled with lip-smacking, exotic flavours from master chefs’ pots and pans. 

 

“Golden Boys and Girls” take care of every need throughout the evening, with entertainment rolling out in heart-warming fashion. Be amazed by a Thai drum performance, a dragon show and Polynesian fire dancing display.  Enjoy chances to win fantastic give-aways, including stays at other Anantara properties.  Then raise a glass on the Anantara Beach and welcome the New Year in with a spectacular fireworks display, before dancing into the night to the tunes of our resident, and world famous, DJ Varin Found. 

Exceed everyone’s expectations this year, with the only finger you need to lift is to book your stay at one of Anantara’s unique Koh Samui hideaways.
