Seasons may come and go, but at The Slate in Phuket, Thailand, love is always in the air. Surprise your other half with this experience that’s bound to reignite and intensify your love for each other through the course of four days.

Upon touchdown through your own arrangements, you’ll be picked up by staff of The Slate. At the hotel, you’ll be presented with a bottle of Champagne and a rose bouquet, marking the start of your perfect getaway.

All meals and daily afternoon canapés are provided, so feel free to head out for your activities as and when you wish, and select your dining destination from one of the seven located on the resort.

The much raved about Coqoon Spa is definitely one to visit, so be sure to set aside a good part of your afternoon for it. Included in your staycation is a Mr & Mrs treatment that’ll not only soothe the kinks but rejuvenate your body, mind and soul. Start off with the welcome foot ritual, followed by a 60-min Coqoon Spa massage that uses traditional and contemporary techniques to awaken tired muscles. You’ll soon be lulled to sleep during the 60-min Coqoon Spa Facial, but that’s alright, for you’ll wake up to brighter and visibly younger looking skin. For all the past treatments the both of you have been enjoying separately in the suite, you’ll be reunited for a romantic 30-minute milky bath to plump your skin.

While you’re free to attend the yoga sessions, guided bike tour and alms giving as you wish, save the best for last and enjoy the Feet In the Sand dinner and rose-petal bubble bath on the last night.

You’ll be dining by the beach on the national park, so dress for the occasion. Think flowy beach dresses and sandals for the lady, and a short sleeved button down shirt, with boat shoes for the man. Choose from the seafood, meat, or surf & turf menu, and enjoy your candlelight dinner (sparkling wine included) while staff take charge of the open flame barbeque. Meanwhile, your bubble bath back in your room is being prepared for you. This is the time to finish your sparkling wine or crack open the bottle of Champagne (f you haven’t already).

You’ll bid a fond farewell once the retreat has ended, but no fear, the next time you’re planning yet another short, spontaneous trip for your other half, you know where to go.
