Romantic Escapes in Paradise: Valentine’s Day at Four Seasons Resorts Thailand

Nothing exudes romance more than surrendering to a tropical holiday for two: bliss of warm sunshine, and brilliant blue skies. From the sun-kissed sandy beaches in Koh Samui, to glistening rice paddies in Chiang Mai and whispering bamboo jungles in the Golden Triangle, Four Seasons Resorts Thailand is custodian of just about every tropical postcard scene there is to dream of in this destination. “Our unique setting across three diverse regions takes your breath away from the moment you arrive,” smiles Sean Mosher, General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and Tented Camp Golden Triangle. “For couples staying with us in the month of February, we have a few celebratory experiences to share,” adds Jasjit Assi, General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.

Romance Unveiled by the Sea at Koh Samui

Endless vistas of ocean blue greet guests from every corner, and with every villa featuring a private infinity-pool, guests are treated to the island scenery from the comfort of their own accommodation. “Guests travelling with children, family, or friends during this period will love the expanse of space and opulence on offer at our Villa & Residence Rentals, ranging up to 5 bedrooms for an exclusive home-away-from-home feel,” shares Shivan Pillay, Director of Rooms and Residences.

The opportunities to serenade loved one here are endless, with private dining on the beach, sunset cruises onboard the resort’s private yacht, and special spa packages for two. “Enjoy a night of tropical romance and dining under the stars in our open-air hilltop Private Sala Dining experience, or tuck your toes into the sand at water’s edge with the romantic Once in a Blue Moon dinner at our private cove,” he adds. Tucked away into the foliage, The Secret Garden Spa holds a few untold indulgences that couples can experience while on a romantic getaway. “The Secret Night Ritual is an after-dark sensory experience that pairs Tibetan singing bowls with a warm Lava Shell Massage under the stars by the sea,” adds Shivan. The experience is followed by a coconut and lotus petal bath in the privacy of the villa. While the island vibe resonates in every experience, time seems to almost slow down, encouraging guests to let every moment linger when choosing to stay at this tropical hideaway.

Embrace Chiang Mai’s Serenity Amid the Rice Fields

Swathes of green envelop guests as they arrive at the resort that is set within verdant rice fields, with every villa tucked away into the tropical scenery. Here, the grandeur of the Lanna-inspired architecture blends harmoniously with the landscape that extends all the way to the misty peaks of the Doi Suthep mountain range in the distance. Blending in with the landscape, the resort features a variety of accommodations, each with stunning views and yet completely private. “Soak in the serenity of our intimate Pool Villas,” suggest Ashok Nair, Director of Rooms and Residences. “From an intimate Romancing in Sala for two in your private villa, to an al fresco meal at the traditional Rice Barn, you are spoiled for choice!”

Special degustation of Western, Thai, or Asian food and personalised menus with wine pairings and cocktails such as the Thai Kitchen Live at Rim Tai Kitchen can be arranged for any occasion, but especially for a celebration of romance. The opportunity to immerse in culturally-rich experiences and slow down to the pace of the countryside is alluring as couples can embrace holistic healing through activities such as pottery lessons at the Chaan Baan, or a guided bicycle tour. “At our award-winning Wara Cheewa Spa, a transformative Soulful Awakening experience for couples, combining aspects of diet and sleep with spa and meditative rituals, allows the body and mind to reset and realign with its natural circadian rhythm,” shares Ashok.

Secluded Luxury for Two in the Bamboo Jungle in the Golden Triangle

Deep within the folds of the bamboo jungle where Thailand meets Myanmar and Laos, the Tented Camp is an especially alluring destination for couples looking to get away for some alone time. Rustic and romantic all at once, the Camp’s opulent riverside tents offer complete privacy and a sense of adventure that can make for an idyllic vacation. “Waking up in the jungle to the sounds of birdcall and the rustle of leaves is a thrill. Our spacious tents, with their ornamental fittings and expansive decks, are a throwback to the days of exploration,” says Paweena Waraha, Camp Manager.

From riverside dinners, served up camp-style with a bottle of wine and a BBQ menu, to cocktails and canapes at the Jungle Peninsula served atop the Camp’s trusty Land Rover, there are intimate moments to look forward to at every meal. “For a special treat, the camp chef cooks up a Lanna-styled, royal meal for two served as a Kanthok Dinner, on a traditional rattan tray typical of this region in Northern Thailand,” she shares. Beyond the Camp, a cruise down the Mekong River on-board a traditional, hand-made long-tail boat can be very romantic as are the many Jungle Trails out into the wilderness, where the team regales with tales of the land and treats guests to a Champagne sundowner picnic. “Not everything is rugged though,” smiles Paweena. “The indulgence extends to the Lhong Rak Chiang Rai – Couples Connect ritual at our beautiful outdoor jungle spa." Infused with scents of love – jasmine, ylang ylang and sandalwood - this treatment includes a soak in a tub full of rose and tuberose petals.

“Pack your adventure spirit and reserve your passage for an unforgettable escape to Four Seasons Resorts Thailand,” says Sean, as Jasjit chimes in, “With bespoke experiences that balance intimacy, luxury, and the enchanting beauty of three exceptional destinations, these romantic getaways promise memories that will last a lifetime!”
