Wellness by the beach

Back from a wellness stay on a beautiful tropical beach, just 2.5 hours by car from Bangkok. Barai is a holistic spa resort set in lush gardens, a great place to restore body and soul.



I find Barai very pleasant and personal. You can tailor-make your own programme of treatments, which I really appreciate. You can go all out for detox, fitness or weight loss or just eat healthy food and get into a relaxed and harmonious mood with massages, personal yoga teacher and so on.

The beach is super long so you can walk for hours, which is very nice for beach walkers.

I really like their beach restaurant a few steps from my room...

Located just outside the room area, the restaurant lies very beautifully on the beach. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. There is a very private feeling here. But guests can also eat in any of the many restaurants situated next door at the Hyatt Regency, just a few minutes away.


Barai is very exclusive - there are just 8 suites.


Welcome...

The suites are all spacious and elegant, each with its own private spa area and balcony or garden with plunge pool.

Lots of space

Huge comfortable beds

If you want to be with your family and children, you can stay at the Hyatt Regency Club next door (owners of Barai), enjoy all activities and still use the Barai spa. 

 The spa is elegant, with the feel of a temple. The architect was inspired by a visit to Angkor Watt.

Exquisite Barai spa 

The Barai spa offers individual treatments like therapeutic and relaxing massages, beauty care, scrubs and wraps.  Recently they introduced 5 full lifestyle programmes of 3 to 7 days, for relaxation, weight loss, detox, fitness and a bespoke yoga journey with personal goals, complimented by a new healthy menu.

Up Beach

Just five minutes by boat from Trisara there is a very beautiful beach. It is great for swimming and has a lovely place to relax, a beach club called Up.  

Select clients will have free sunbeds there. A perfect spot for lunch by the beach.

Off we go...

Up Beach in front of us - a long sandy beach washed by turquoise water...

Back at the villa enjoying the sunset
by our own private pool

Gazpacho and my favourite drink, young coconut

Chilled gazpacho adds some lovely variety
to all the delicious Thai food

Lots of fun with our Trisara friends

Trisara has a nice wine cellar and Åke and I
were invited to enjoy my favourite wine last night

Tomorrow - a blog on another lovely Phuket hotel - and soon we will be back home again.
