Four Seasons Thailand: Family bliss in Chiang Mai & Koh Samui

Thursday, March 21, 2024

Picture yourself enjoying precious moments with your loved ones at a serene countryside escape in Chiang Mai, surrounded by flourishing rice fields and embraced by majestic mountain ranges. Alternatively, envision reclining in a spacious pool villa nestled amidst verdant tropical hillsides on the enchanting island of Koh Samui, gazing upon endless vistas of the Gulf of Thailand. With Four Seasons Resorts Thailand, these idyllic visions become reality as families embark on captivating journeys filled with a variety of tropical adventures, all while receiving the utmost comfort and personalized attention that define a truly memorable vacation experience. “Beyond its reputation as the ‘Land of Smiles,’ Thailand is the perfect choice for families, with its exotic mix of local culture, enticing food, the idyllic island life, and serene rural charm,” remarks Sean Mosher, General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and Tented Camp Golden Triangle. “As a custodian of this rich cultural heritage, our Resorts present the perfect canvas to create memorable moments, enabled by our intuitive team that bring you the Four Seasons luxury with a genuine heart,” adds Jasjit Assi, General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.

Both Resorts pride themselves on their stunning array of Private Retreats, providing families with the opportunity to reside in the expansive Residence Villas ranging from one to five bedrooms. These villas, seamlessly blending outdoor beauty with elegant interiors, offer complete privacy and a comforting home-like ambiance. To add an extra touch of joy for young guests, children aged six and under dine complimentary at Resort restaurants.

“Tailored experiences are the hallmark of a Four Seasons holiday, and at both Resorts, the possibilities for personalized itineraries are boundless. Our dedicated residential assistants ensure every need is taken care of,” suggests Mosher.

Family Fun for All

Family vacations are cherished moments for bonding, and ensuring the entertainment of young travelers is paramount. “A happy child equals a happy family vacation,” beams Ashok Nair, Director of Rooms and Residences in Chiang Mai. At both Koh Samui and Chiang Mai, families discover comprehensive care for their children from arrival to departure, with a plethora of daily activities that are not only engaging but also immerse them in the local culture. With trained staff at Chiang Mai’s La-On Kids Club and Koh Samui’s Tree House Kids Club, safety and supervision are guaranteed. “While our programs offer fun, we aim for families to truly experience the essence of the destination through these activities, from arts and crafts to sports and adventure games,” insists Shivan Pillay, Director of Rooms and Residences at Koh Samui.

Personalized Culinary Experiences

For families passionate about food, the dining experiences are a treat, offering a diverse range of cuisines. “From exceptional Thai and Asian dishes to exquisite Mediterranean and Western classics, our restaurants cater to all tastes,” adds Pillay. Family-friendly dining options with dedicated Kids’ Menus ensure children of all ages are catered to. “Each menu item lists potential allergens, and dishes can be customized to accommodate specific dietary preferences,” confirms Nair. Moreover, children under six enjoy complimentary meals when dining with their parents.

A family meal holds special significance, especially in the serene outdoor setting of the residences. “Our villas provide the ideal setting for an intimate family meal,” says Pillay. “A private chef will curate a menu tailored to the family’s tastes and deliver it to the villa.” Alternatively, the Family Cooking Class offers a fun bonding experience while exploring Thailand’s culinary delights.

Relaxation and Rejuvenation

“In a world filled with constant demands, time becomes a true luxury,” notes Nair. Finding moments for personal relaxation is irresistible while on vacation. At the acclaimed Wara Cheewa Spa in Chiang Mai and Koh Samui’s The Secret Garden Spa, dedicated family and kids’ spa experiences offer pampering and rejuvenation. “The Family Time treatment at The Secret Garden Spa in Samui fosters a meaningful bond between child and parent with natural ingredients like locally sourced virgin coconut oil,” says Pillay. Special attention is given to expecting families with custom room décor, photography sessions, and the Embracing Maternity ritual. “Start them young,” smiles Nair. “The Angel Bliss Massage at Wara Cheewa Spa is perfect for energizing kids, soothing their nervous system, and boosting their immune system.”

Extended Stay Offers

With so much to explore, guests are encouraged to extend their stay for four nights or more to fully savor their family time. Four Seasons Resort in Chiang Mai offers enticing benefits, including a 25 percent discount on room rates, daily breakfast for two persons per bedroom, and 10 percent savings on food and beverage, spa, and laundry services.

Enhance your Koh Samui experience with the Residence Escape offer, featuring a special 25 percent savings and complimentary daily breakfast for two persons per bedroom for stays of four nights or more.

“From the azure blue waters and wondrous seascapes of Samui, to the soothing countryside setting of Mae Rim valley, meaningful moments highlighted by a hands-on, holistic experience are expected,” says Assi. “Families are sure to feel spoiled for choice while planning that anticipated tropical holiday at either, or both of our irresistible Four Seasons Resorts in Thailand,” adds Mosher.
