Private pool villas at Tubkaak Krabi Beach Resort

Krabi

Tubkaak Krabi Beach Resort

Sitting on a hidden stretch of gorgeous beach, facing a stunning archipelago of 13 islands that rise dramatically from the calm Andaman Sea, and backed by the mighty Hang Nak Mountain, Tubkaak Krabi Beach Resort boasts an enviable location. It also has all the right ingredients for a relaxing hideaway.

Nearby twin islands Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi provide shelter from the southwest monsoon winds, which means the beach at Tubkaak has calm water all year round – not to mention beautiful sunsets that play out against the limestone cliffs.

The resort offers a distinctly Thai ambience, with the latest collection of private pool villas featuring spacious layouts and large private pools. And both the resort spa, L’escape, and the Di Mare Italian restaurant are situated right on the beachfront.

Special offer:

Expat Living readers can enjoy an exclusive rate when booking a stay between 11 January and 15 April 2017 – just type “EXPATLIVING” when making a reservation online.

Have a blast in the four swimming pools at Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket

Phuket

Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket

With its inviting pink hue and architecture inspired by the shophouses of Phuket town, the Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket stands out from your regular luxury resort. Each of the 262 rooms and suites offers views from furnished balconies or terraces that overlook the Andaman Sea off Karon Beach, while classical pillars, covered walkways and manicured courtyards add character.

Kids will love the leisure facilities, which include four swimming pools and an extensive water park complex, complete with lazy river, waterfalls, waterslides and a spa pool – ideal for active family holidays.

A selection of restaurants and poolside bars add to the vibe, while the kids’ club and the “E-zone” cater for youngsters and teens. Meanwhile, a collection of exclusive one- and two-bedroom pool villas are located in the resort’s most secluded area; these oversized living spaces offer a tranquil escape, with rim-flow pools and verandahs set in lush vegetation, and enormous bathtubs and showers adding to the comfort and indulgence.

From the resort, it’s a short walk to the secluded end of Karon Beach, from where the main beach – abuzz with water-sport activities – is easily reached. Local street markets, Thai food, vendors and massages are also a short stroll away, to round out an authentic Phuket visit.

Now facelifts can be non-surgical and non-invasive which we love.

This facelift in Singapore uses painless High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).

How it works.....
HIFU uses ultrasound technology to reach three different depths of the skin, in order to deliver focused beams of 60 to 70 degrees Celsius without disrupting the skin surface. These beams will melt the fats in the face, while tightening the skin and boosting collagen production; this allows your skin to continually lift and tone after the treatment. 

We thought this was super cool so we tried it out. Read the full review on our stories

What would make a doctor like DR MENKA GUPTA transform herself into a functional medicine practitioner and nutritionist in Singapore? 

Her lifelong passion for healing is the answer – and she hasn’t looked back. Born and raised in Lucknow, India, she knew from the age of three that she wanted to be a doctor. After years of working as a specialist in the fields of gastroenterology, general medicine and gynaecology in leading hospitals in the UK, India and Singapore, she joined the Institute for Functional Medicine in 2012, and established Nutra Nourish here five years ago. 

Dr Menka is the the only IFM certified practitioner (IFMCP) in South Asia (there are less than 1,000 globally)

Considered to be the most common cancers in women globally, breast cancer is a serious health issue that can happen to almost anyone.

If you’ve spied an Insta-worthy floral arrangement that immediately had you wondering who designed it and where it came from, chances are you were looking at one of the arrangements of The Floral Atelier. 

According to the company’s floral artisans, designing a beautiful bunch of flowers is as much a science as it is an art. That may explain why they say it takes more than just a “good eye” to create their particular arrangements.

The Floral Atelier’s founder LELIAN CHEW is widely regarded as an authoritative figure in luxury events and florals – to the point where she’s been hailed as the “Million Dollar Wedding Planner” on a BBC documentary! Lelian gave us the lowdown about her creative process and how she and the team design their show-stopping products @thefloralatelier.co @lelianchew

Navigating your daughters’ preteen years is probably one of the most difficult periods of parenting – for you and them. 

Issues around lack of confidence, body image and low self-esteem can start to surface during these years. With the added potential stresses of cyberbullying and social media usage, the pressure is real and the impact on families can be overwhelming. 

Empowering young girls (and boys, of course) is your responsibility as a parent, and it may mean having a guide or a mentor to help them through these preteen and teen issues. 

Establishing emotional literacy from a young age can positively impact how your daughter copes in life, right through to adulthood.

Ramita Anand the founder of Elevate.RA, spoke to us about the ways she helps mentor young girls to make sense of themselves and the world around them....
