The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., recognised as the global leader in luxury hotels, service and lifestyle, is proud to announce the opening of Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve on December 22, 2009, in Krabi, Southern Thailand.

The world’s first Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Phulay Bay will embody the attributes, philosophy and unique style and design of the Reserve brand extension. Appealing to affluent and discerning travellers seeking more from their leisure time, Ritz-Carlton Reserve will offer exquisite resorts in secluded and naturally beautiful locations around the world.

Set on the shores of the Andaman Sea, Phulay Bay is a hideaway 54-villa and pavilion boutique hotel with unspoilt views of the towering limestone karsts which make up the beautiful landscape of this part of southern Thailand. Coupled with sandy beaches, a coastline flecked with more than 200 islands, surrounded by a national forest with rugged rock formations and hidden waterfalls, Phulay Bay is a natural wonder.

“Ritz-Carlton Reserve will feature signature, one-of-a-kind boutique resorts positioned in unique settings, each with a distinctive personality and sense of place reflecting its history and culture,” said Simon F. Cooper, president. “A refuge from the expected, Reserve is for travellers seeking to discover a singular location and peerless resort that will offer guests’ exotic, hand-selected ‘hideaway’ destinations in a relaxed, casually elegant atmosphere. Phulay Bay in Thailand is a natural choice for the first Reserve,” said Cooper.

The essence of Phulay Bay will be about enlivening the senses. Guests will subtly and gently have their senses enriched and stimulated with the resort’s own scent, signature drink, beautiful and stunning scenery both inside the suites and in the environment of the resort, as well as by the sounds of traditional Thai music coupled with the gentle lapping of the sea on the shores of Phulay Bay. This will be coupled with the environment of tactile natural Thai silk soft furnishings and coverings to help guest’s truly relax in this unique and special environment.

Nestled on the shore of the Andaman Sea, the exclusive resort is the vision of in-demand Thai architect Lek Bunnag and features modern styling and architecture with accents of Thai culture and design to create a harmonious synergy of luxury and tradition to compliment its secluded location. Bunnag draws strongly from Thai traditions and cultural heritage to create an environment where relaxation and enjoyment are the very bedrock of the guest experience.

The architecture, landscape, interiors and accessories fuse to create a marriage of style and design that is completely in keeping with and tied to the natural environment of the location. Oversized beds, pillows, chairs, baths and doorways create a sense of comfort and welcoming that sets the guest at ease and welcomes them into the resort.

Combining contemporary Thai styling in the buildings with preservation of the environment, the natural flora of existing trees and plants relies on the past and tradition to create something sustainable today and for the future. The use of traditional Lanna art forms both in architectural structure and design, as well as paintings and artworks on the walls and doors of the villas, further create a contemporary setting that draws on tradition to offer a unique and luxurious environment and further enlivens the senses.

“When styling and designing Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, we were very conscious of the abundant natural beauty surrounding us which is what makes people fall in love with Thailand,” explained Estelita Sebeto, the resort’s General Manager. “We want guests to enjoy and discover the extraordinary diversity and beauty in this part of the country in a setting of relaxation and rejuvenation. So we have worked with nature to maintain a setting that evokes the very best of the natural environment of the hotel and sourced local and sustainable materials in its construction and styling. We see the resort as an ambassador for the local environment and for the tradition of the land here in Phulay Bay.”

With an emphasis on personalised, bespoke experiences, guests can ‘design’ or tailor make their visit to perfectly suit their needs and desires. A light BBQ lunch in your favourite area of the resort? A meditation class with local monks? Elephant trekking to a remote picnic spot? A sea plane tour of region’s dramatic scenery? No problem. The resort will tailor-make your visit and personalise your experience, to make it a truly unique and one-of-a-kind visit.

The sense of arrival will immediately let guests know they are somewhere special and unique. High aubergine walls and ‘hedges’ made from indigenous trees create a sense of wonder from the outside and a great sense of peace and stillness once on the inside. Guests enter the resort over a stepping-stone walkway that leads them to a wooden Thai pavilion situated on an island surrounded by thousands of gently flickering candles.

Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve will offer world-class culinary experiences throughout the resort including a sea front pavilion with private rooftop dining, a signature Thai restaurant creating traditional Thai cooking in a modern, minimalist setting using the very best of ingredients and cooking traditions from Thailand’s southern region. An infinity pool bar will offer soft loungers and silk pillows by day with lighter more relaxed culinary offerings, while the resort’s sunset lounge, will offer day beds, oversized pillows, chill-out lounge bar music and candle lanterns for a truly intimate and relaxing feel. The perfect place for a glass of champagne or a stylish martini as the sun sets over the seemingly endless horizon.

The ESPA at Phulay Bay promises to be a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation with stepping stones meandering through the spa leading to decked walkways and relaxation terraces surrounded by vegetation and reflection ponds that perfectly capture the unique character of Phulay Bay. The Spa itself comprises three traditional Thai pavilions set over two levels offering 11 treatment rooms including single and couples massage rooms and two VIP treatment suites.

The opening rates for Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve are as follows: Resort Pavilion THB19,550; Ocean Pavilion THB21,250; Beach Villa THB 27,200; Reserve Villa THB44,200 and Royal Beach Villa THB68,000. All rates are subject to 18.7% service charges and taxes.

The Fairmont Monte Carlo unveils stage II of its 45-million makeover.

The Monaco shipyards are preparing to deliver one of their most beautiful creations with the completion of its spectacular 45-million-euro refurbishment of the hotel Fairmont Monte Carlo. This is the ideal opportunity to offer you a dazzling cruise through all the pleasures of the Mediterranean and the Principality aboard this new boat filled with light and luxury.

New 7th Floor, 7th Heaven
At the Fairmont Monte Carlo, we’re celebrating spring with the inauguration of our top, 7th floor terrace. It’s a 7th heaven with a 360° view over the Principality’s legendary Opera House, Prince’s Palace, and Casino – against a backdrop of the renowned Riviera and the azure splendour of the Mediterranean.

In this 7th heaven, between sky and sea, we’ve created an original, new-concept restaurant, L’Horizon. It is nothing less than affirmation of the hotel’s and the Fairmont Hotel and Resort chain’s commitment to the health of our planet and sustainable development, proof that pleasure and eco-respect are synonymous. In fact, we’ve adopted a defining phrase for our new restaurant: chic & ethic.

New L’Horizon – Deck, Restaurant & Champagne bar
Our Executive Chef, Maryan Gandon, is committed to privileging locally-produced food. This is why the Fairmont cultivates its own gardens in the fertile countryside just outside Monaco. By growing its own fruits and vegetables, the Fairmont Monte Carlo is not only producing the best of local fare for in-and-out-of-season enjoyment, it is reducing carbon emissions caused by long-haul transport. We’ve even influenced our suppliers. In fact, hotel’s suppliers have been called upon to revise their packaging techniques and to reduce the frequency of their deliveries.

And there’s more :
-every object, apparatus, paper and merchandising tool – our staff uniforms and menu cards are visible examples – come from an eco-friendly production.
-in partnership with the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco and in adherence to the Museum’s guidelines, Chef Gandon and his team use only non-endangered species in the Fairmont cuisine. For example, vulnerable species like the red tuna are not on our menus.

New concept : Chic & Ethic

Not only will Fairmont guests be able to wine and dine in our L’Horizon restaurant throughout the entire day, until midnight, they will have especially-conceived access from the restaurant to an exclusive Lounge created for private events and cocktail parties. Naturally the view from the lounge takes in the entire sweep of the Riviera.

New Willow Stream Fitness
Our brand new Willow Stream fitness has left nothing to chance and is the ideal place to be while working out in front of the Riviera :
-High tech ‘Technogym’ equipment with reduced energy consumption and easily recyclable material
-A special room for aerobic, stretch and yoga classes
-Hammam & Sauna
It all comes with an opportunity for personalised courses with experienced sports’ coaches;

Whether guests prefer a lean carry-on or just want a private workout, staying fit at Fairmont is just a phone call away. All guests that are members of our loyalty program, President Club, can order Adidas shorts, t-shirts and athletic shoes, all delivered to the guestroom, for use during their stay. In addition, guests are provided with pre-loaded Creative Zen mp3 players to use during their workout. In collaboration with EMI Music, Fairmont has compiled extensive play lists that include a variety of contemporary, classical, rock and easy listening music, suitable for running, walking and lounging.

New Pool
For greater guest pleasure, we’ve given our roof-top swimming pool a new look. From here, our guests can gaze out on the Mediterranean Sea, Monte-Carlo’s Belle Époque Opera and Casino and the celebrated Fairmont Monte Carlo Grand Prix hairpin curve, the most challenging in the Formula 1 Championship.
New Willow Stream Spa
Every Willow Stream Spa is a unique refuge nestled inside a Fairmont Hotel, itself situated in the most fascinating places all over the world. The willow evokes the deep authenticity, the strength of the body and the flexibility of the spirit.

The word Stream represents the energising trip of life by passing obstacles and changing peacefully its course to arrive at its final destination. In these spas, you will live authentic experiences inspired by the local traditions, with plants and aromatic herbs. You will experience unique Willow Stream treatments, supervised by a team of thoughtful and competent professionals. You will rediscover all your energy !

Inspired by its unique position on the Mediterranean Sea, The Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Monte Carlo has opened its doors in July 2009 and brings inside the sensational energy and power of the sea with its rich compositions, its colours and the eternal marine beauty. The 900 m² Willow Stream Spa offers, with 8 intimate spaces, all the comfort and the sophistication of specialized treatments which reflect the lifestyle and the wealth of this destination.

The future Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Monte Carlo:
-Situated on the 6th floor and directly connected with the Willow Stream Fitness
-900 m2 Spa and 8 treatment rooms with natural light
-Manicure / Pedicure
-Spa Lounges
-Suite “Spa Experience” for couples

Make no mistake; extras like these aren’t all that make the Fairmont Monte Carlo one of the prime addresses in the Principality. It’s the ambience, the daring to do, to change, to propose what’s new. Indubitably, during the next few months, and long after, the “Monte Carlo experience” will be lived at the Fairmont…

This fall, Geneva’s famous after the rain spa created by Isabelle Nordmann 7 years ago is launching its totally innovative concept for Europe, a spa for children. After the rain will be catering solely to children ages 7 to 17 one Wednesday afternoon per month, starting in the fall 2009. For this occasion, the spa is making available a menu of original treatments that will introduce children to the world of spa in a thoroughly delightful, fun way.

Christine Masson, the spa’s director and creator of the children’s treatments, has imagined 9 enchantingly magical treatments for both girls and boys. To give an example, Le petit Prince includes a 30-minute back and leg massage using a sweet almond oil scented with essential oils. The 45-minute Snow White treatment offers a pearl and silk facial. Strawberry Milkshake is a fragrant strawberry-scented bath served with cotton candy. As for little customers fond of all-sugar scrubs, they will have to try Melusine’s recipe… A wide array of creative treatments bearing the brand of the Swiss spa feature delectable recipes and 100 % enjoyable treatments.

The originality of the treatments is coupled with complimentary comforts for first-time spa-goers. Offering popcorn, cotton candy and sliced bread and jam, the snacks served in the rest area will be no doubt highly appreciated.

Beyond the concept’s magical aspect, Isabelle Nordmann and Christine Masson also wanted to teach children to be aware and take good care of their bodies. “This is an initiation to the spa universe, a friendly environment in which you can experience your first massage or your first facial”, says Christine Masson. The treatments were specially developed and designed for children. They feature shortened protocols and adjusted hand pressure during massaging; the products are safe for use on children. In their approach, the specially trained therapists, who for the most part have children of their own, will take into account their young customers’ reservations. The children will be cared for with the utmost attention to detail.

After launching the brand’s delectable treatments in 2002 and tandem treatments in 2004, will the pioneering and visionary Isabelle Nordmann and her partner Christine Masson start a new trend with the after the rain children’s spa? The future can only tell…

The much-anticipated Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa, Australia’s first luxury conservation-based resort and Emirates Hotels & Resorts‘ first development outside Dubai, welcomed its first guests today.

The A$125 million project, built on the same principles as Emirates’ acclaimed Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa, combines the expectations of the high-end traveller with a commitment to broader social, ecological and environmental sustainability.

Located between two of Australia’s most prominent national parks and bordering the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa features 40 individual secluded suites, and is fully integrated into its environment, supporting wide-ranging conservation practices. The resort occupies only two per cent of its 4,000 acre land, while the remaining area is dedicated as a wildlife reserve.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group, said: “Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa’s combination of iconic location, understated luxury, privacy and outstanding conservation values is unparalleled in Australia”. Heralding a new era of luxury travel in the country, the resort actively protects its surrounding habitat and indigenous wildlife species while delivering the first-class standards and quality expected from luxury resorts.

“Since the opening of Al Maha a decade ago, we have built our businesses on the basis of being sustainable and environmentally aware; and leading in wildlife conservation, in particular the protection of endangered and threatened species. With the opening of Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa in Australia, we are expanding our unique luxury conservation-based resort philosophy into a different country, a different continent and a different ecological environment.”

Wolgan Valley was selected by Emirates after an extensive research for a location that lent itself to world-class conservation-based practices. Australia is an important destination for Emirates, and Wolgan Valley is an outstanding example of the Dubai-based airline’s long term commitment to the country.

“Australia has a fascinating history, heritage, and of course unique wildlife; not to mention some of the most exciting landscapes in the world. We believe Australia has great potential and we are extremely proud that Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa will not only showcase a slice of Australia’s heritage, but will also contribute to the country’s prospects for developing this calibre of conservation-based, luxury tourism,” added His Highness.

Wolgan Valley is rich in historical significance. Charles Darwin was a visitor in 1836 and the property’s original homestead, which dates back to 1832, has been fully restored to its former glory, providing a fascinating glimpse of the region’s heritage for guests.

His Highness commented: “The feedback from the travel trade guests who visited Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa during the pre-opening phase is that it is truly unique in Australia. With its world-class facilities, we are already seeing strong local and international interest from both the leisure and business markets.”

Each suite in the resort has its own indoor / outdoor swimming pool, private verandah, separate living and sleeping areas, luxurious en-suite bathroom and double-sided fireplace.

The resort’s architecture is progressive in its sustainable philosophy but classic in its aesthetic approach. Its design, inspired by original Federation style, is reminiscent of traditional rural Australian homesteads.

Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa incorporates the “Timeless Spa” branded facility. Originally created at Al Maha, Emirates’ own luxury Spa brand is an integral part of the guest experience. The Timeless Spa concepts focus on natural products, and the provision of holistic treatments which revitalize the body and enhance relaxation.

A major focus of the guest experience at Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa is the quality of Australia’s finest produce – enhanced by the resort’s regional, seasonal and organic food philosophy.

Activities at Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa will include guided walks to discover wildlife in its natural habitat, four-wheel drive safaris, mountain bike and horse-riding adventures through the spectacular landscapes, stargazing, heritage and Aboriginal interpretative tours, guided photographic excursions and visits to the Wollemi Pine Grove.
