Complete with community initiatives, volunteering opportunities and experiences designed to restore the mind, body and soul, the package promises an unforgettable wellness retreat   

Luxurious boutique residence, The Sarojin, has launched a brand new 'Sarojin Cares Wellness' package designed to enrich not only the mind, body and soul of guests but also benefit the local community and environment during each stay. Ideal for those looking for a holistic approach to wellness and travellers wanting to explore more consciously in 2021, the package includes yoga, meditation and spa experiences alongside volunteering opportunities, a sunrise spiritual blessing and an excursion to a local ethical elephant eco-park to learn the fundamentals of caring for Thailand's national animal.  

From just THB 66, 907.40 (approx. £1,630) two guests can enjoy 7-nights in a Garden Residence between 04 May 2021 and 31 Oct 2022 (18 months), a 90-minute yoga and meditation class, a 60-minute Thai or Aroma massage complete with Spa Cuisine Lunch, a sunrise Spiritual Blessing of Love at a local Thai temple, an Elephant Mahout Experience at the Phang Nga Elephant Park, all day a la carte breakfast served until 6pm with sparkling wine and private transfers to/from Phuket International Airport. What's more, guests are encouraged to join the resort team on their regular 'Sarojin Cares' volunteer days* during their stay and take part in ongoing beach, coastal and mangrove environmental care activities.  

For the mind, body and soul...  

The package begins with a 90-minute yoga and meditation class held in the resort's idyllic tropical gardens or by the pool, with a gentle session of Vinyasa Yoga followed by restorative mindful meditation. Guests can then indulge in a 60-minute Thai or Aroma massage each followed by a healthy Spa Cuisine Lunch including delicious detox smoothies. The Sarojin's award winning Pathways Spa is nestled within the resort grounds, surrounded by coconut groves, luscious greenery and the sounds of the soothing Andaman Sea making it ideal for relaxation. Finally, to enrich the soul guests can experience a traditional sunrise Spiritual Blessing of Love at a local Thai Buddhist temple. Here a monk gently pours holy water over the guests while chanting ancient mantras to cleanse the spirit. 

For the community... 

The Phang Nga Elephant Park** is a small and unique family-run eco-park, which dedicates its efforts to providing the highest quality of care to its rescued herd of Asian elephants. The Elephant Mahout Experience within the package includes a morning of learning and fun at the sanctuary, where guests are taught how to hand-feed, bathe and tend to the majestic giants. Not only is the experience educational, providing the opportunity for guests to learn new skills and get closer to nature, but the funds raised from such excursions are key to the park's existence and in turn provide the resources needed for vital programmes to promote sustainability and animal welfare in the community.  

For the environment... 

To end their stay, guests have the option to join one of the resort's regular 'Sarojin Cares' volunteer days – a truly rewarding way to complete a wellness break. A regular excursion in the initiative, aimed to help rebuild the natural environment in Khao Lak, is a trip to the Mangrove Forest Planting Project in Baan Nam Kem set up by local fishermen following the 2004 tsunami. Here, guests can help plant new trees and restore the mangrove ecosystem which was damaged by the disaster  

There's also plenty more to enjoy back at The Sarojin to make a wellness retreat truly complete. From rejuvenating exercise with the use of complementary mountain bikes, sailing catamarans, sail boats, sea kayaks and windsurfing boards to relaxing Garden Tours showcasing the area's local wildlife for those wanting to get closer to nature. For avid readers, the resort also has a complimentary Press-Reader app and high-speed Wi-Fi available throughout its grounds allowing guests to browse at their leisure.  

The 'Sarojin Cares Wellness' package is based on a rate for two adults sharing a Garden Residence for seven nights between 04 May 2021 and 31 October 2022 (18 months), inclusive of activities listed.

Designed in a contemporary Asian style, the five-star resort's 56 deluxe residences are nestled within ten acres of tropical grounds leading directly onto the beachfront. Each guest room features its own private garden and “sala” sundeck, couples' baths with waterfall showers, and plunge and relaxation pools that blend into the natural habitat. Other facilities include an attentive “Imagineer” who can create tailor-made experiences for hotel guests and complimentary use of a fully equipped fitness centre, mountain bikes, sailing catamarans, sail boats, sea kayaks and windsurfing boards. Tranquility is guaranteed as no children under the age of 10 are permitted to stay at The Sarojin. 

The Sarojin has been recognised for its fine dining offering by The MICHELIN Guide Bangkok, Phuket, and Phang-nga 2020.

The Sarojin Community Care Fund 

Established in December 2004 The Sarojin Community Care Fund, which was initially set up to help rebuild the communities surrounding our resort in the wake of the devastating Boxing Day tsunami, continues to contribute to a number of worthy local projects in Khao Lak. From providing medical provision for prosthetic limbs and supporting local orphanages with childcare, to building school classrooms, roads and covering the cost of a full-time veterinary surgeon to care for the local wildlife, there's such a huge variety of ways our fund gives back to those closest to us. Guests are encouraged to donate to the fund during their stay, with 100% of the money raised distributed to local community projects.
