Stunning Thailand & Qatar beach escape with spa perks

An exotic Thailand and Doha getaway with stays in Phuket, Khao Lak and the Qatari capital – includes all travel, spa perks, breakfast throughout, cocktails and more

Doha

Once little more than a fishing village, Qatar’s capital and largest city has emerged to become one of the most treasured cities throughout the Middle East. A highlight of any trip here is a visit to the Souq Waqif, a labyrinthine area selling everything from spices and gold to rugs and falcons. There’s also the famous Museum of Islamic Arts, housing the largest collection of Islamic art anywhere on Earth.

While you’re here, you’ll be staying at the Intercontinental Doha, a five-star pad situated right by the city’s largest stretch of beach. Nestled in the beautiful landscaped gardens, this is a great spot in which to while away the hours after a day of exploring the city’s sights and attractions.

Phuket’s Andaman Coast

The second leg of your trip will take you to a destination synonymous with tropical bliss. From the five-star Angsana Laguna Phuket, the sparkling sea is just a short walk away at Bang Tao Beach - one of the loveliest spots on Phuket's Andaman coast. Should you prefer to explore the rest of the island, book a car and tour temples like Wat Phra Tong and the iconic Big Buddha, both located less than an hour’s drive away.

Phuket’s main town is another option for a day trip and just 40 minutes away by car. If you prefer to stay closer to the coast, tee-off at the resort's award-winning international standard golf course.

Phang-Nga Province

When it comes to Utopian islands and paradise shores, there are few destinations that compare to Thailand, and the Phang-Nga Province really takes the biscuit. Known for its jungle-shrouded mountains and coral-flecked bays, this is one of Thailand’s finest natural areas, with four conservation areas and one of the oldest rainforests in the world, Khao Sok.

This luxury getaway takes you to the upscale Aleenta Resort and Spa in peaceful Phang Nga. Set opposite the two-mile-long Natai Beach, this sophisticated hideaway puts privacy first with its collection of sleek suites and villas. You’ll be staying in one of the swankiest categories available: the sizeable Grand Deluxe Pool villa, with its large swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi and inviting daybed.
