Oysters, Champagne and a Sunset at the Sarojin
The Sarojin Thailand, a member of Vistuoso Hotels and consistently voted one of the world’s most luxurious and romantic boutique resorts, knows how to spoil its guests, especially as its legendary ‘Imagineer’ is available to cater to their every whim.No other resort offers such highly personalised service, where Martinique-born Jowell Philemond-Montout sets out to ensure the holiday dreams of every single guest are met, no matter how big or small.
Jowell traded his background as a performer with the Moulin Rouge for Khao Lak and an elegant, pale linen suit, turning his creative passion into making people happy and giving them a truly memorable holiday, making him a hit with guests at The Sarojin.
If you want to enjoy champagne and oysters on a secluded beach at sunset, after kayaking across to Pakarang Cape where a guide will greet you and escort you to your ‘front row seat’, then Jowell is your man. A trek through the jungles on an elephant with a picnic by the waterfall in Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park – no problem!
Jowell’s ability to cater to the imagination of guests is limitless, however, as a general guide he has listed some of the top activities that he recommends to enjoy this piece of paradise nestled between a secluded beach and five national parks in Khao Lak.
The Imagineer’s top tips include:-
The stunning Lady Sarojin yacht awaits your arrival for a sunset cruise where cocktails and canapés are served while the sun slips under the horizon, delivering you to a barefoot private dinner where your own chef prepares what you wish demonstration-style in an exquisite romantic setting. As you finish dessert, you are invited to celebrate your next dream by lighting and flying a Thai spirit balloon, which is believed to carry your wishes to the Gods.
Take a marine adventure to Phang Nga Bay, canoeing through the sea caves of its dramatic limestone islands to discover the sea gypsy village (Koh Panyee) in its hidden lagoons, built overwater on stilts. Using a local fisherman’s longtail boat, you will also see historic Wat Thamsuwankuha, the temple set in a giant cave which houses a 15 metre long reclining buddha, the largest in Southern Thailand.
Of all the decadent treatments, the ‘faa fait’ massage (four hand massage) by two of the ‘Pathways’ therapists would have to be the most indulgent and relaxing of all time. If you are too blissed out to move, Jowell can even arrange a lunch to be enjoyed in the treatment room!- An excursion to the Similan Islands on the Lady Sarojin is akin to a scene from a movie – your own private snorkelling trip to jewel-like islands in turquoise waters teeming with marine life, emerging to enjoy a gourmet lunch and wine, naturally!
- If, like most Australians, you love Thai food, then travel by traditional pleat boat to check out the local markets with your personal guide to buy the best produce, and learn to cook authentic Thai cuisine in a stunning outdoor setting in the national park, before you sample it with your partner or friends.
