Cool Spa at Sri Panwa, Phuket, Thailand
THE VIBE: Trendy tropical hideaway.
TOP TREATMENT: For the ultimate in bespoke therapy, Sri Panwa offers massages tailored to your blood type. It’s believed each type has a unique ailment to fend off, so the treatments aim to restore a sense of wellbeing from the inside out. Type A is said to hold on to stress, so massage is used to calm the body, Type B’s overactive immune system is balanced with oils that also target out-of-whack hormones, while Type AB can pick between the two. For Type O, who are prone to allergies and stress, massage combined with a special herb mixture helps to improve circulation and alleviate skin redness, as well as boost cellular metabolism.
INSIDER INTEL: Want to relax by your villa’s private plunge or maybe dance after dark to a world-class DJ? Sri Panwa caters to it all – Avicii and Diplo have even spun sets there. And with six world-class restaurants and amazing views (hit up Baba Nest for drinks while watching the sunset), you and your squad will never want to leave.
BEAUTY ESSENTIAL: A golden glow is a must – use a quick-drying product so you don’t waste any time getting to the pool. Prep with a body scrub for longevity.
