KOH SAMUI, Thailand – Santiburi Koh Samui, the high-end, experience-driven beachfront retreat on Samui’s north shore has unveiled a series of personalised “love encounters” through its Lèn programme for a month of romance and an unforgettable Valentine’s Day.

While the world is busy blowing up heart-shaped balloons and arranging bouquets of red roses, Santiburi understands that l’amour comes in many different forms. In Sanskrit, the root of the Thai language, there are 96 different words for love. It is this diversity that is reflected in the vast array of amorous offerings at Santiburi, any of which can be customised to suit each couple.
 
Santiburi’s romance activities are underpinned by Lèn, the resort’s creative concept that allows each guest to discover their individual happiness. In Thai, Lèn means “play”, and this inspiring initiative comprises a choice of programmes that enables each guest to follow their own personal path and curate their own stay.
 
Lèn encompasses five distinct themes - Adventure, Relax, Romance, Culture and Family - each of which embraces three elements: Spa, Activities and Gourmet. This creates an amazing array of opportunities for couples to personalise their Valentine’s Day stay. Whether they are young lovers dreaming about exquisite privacy, parents in quest of unique family moments, or simply seeking new adventures, Santiburi designs bespoke experiences through its programme.

Naturally, Lèn’s Romance programme will come to the fore this February. A choice of Lèn spa signature treatments includes “Fountain of Youth Facial” and “Garden of Deep Calm Massage”, which are ideal for guests to refresh and revitalise. Also perfect for the season, the “Elixir of Love” ignites passions by blending a body massage with a shared candlelit bath, sparkling wine and chocolate-covered strawberries.
Love is: having breakfast where you want it,

when you want it. Even if it's in the pool
Love is: just being together
On top of these spa treatments, Lèn’s Romance programme includes activities for culturally curious couples. They can enjoy a private Thai cooking class or a photo shoot in traditional Thai costumes – a wonderful memento of their Valentine’s Day vacation in Koh Samui. Active guests can also go kayaking on the open ocean, while a private sunset cruise to a private beach allows lovers to indulge in each other’s company and soak up spectacular views.
 
Finally, throughout February guests can enjoy captivating culinary events, themed nights and lavish buffets, including seaside dinners at The Beach House restaurant and candlelit romance for two under the stars. Santiburi always matches the mood of its guests and ensures memories not soon to be forgotten.
 
“Santiburi is breath-taking and naturally romantic. Add seaside sunsets, the hypnotic sound of the surf, and incomparable ambience to our lush tropical gardens, pristine beach and luxurious accommodations, and it’s easy to see why many honeymooners are drawn here to share their treasured time.  But we realize that not everyone is a ‘traditional’ romantic that melts over hearts, flowers and chocolates. With Lèn, our holistic happiness concept, you can let your heart be your unbridled guide for Valentine’s Day. Maybe you love the adventure of paddling on the ocean waves, or a fanciful Thai massage or whimsically learning a new recipe. We can help craft your dreamy, nostalgic, daring or charming moments so you can ‘love the day of love, your way’. And of course, we can also impeccably cater to any request for a classical, fairy-tale rendezvous that will live ‘happily ever-after’ in your memory,” said Sabine Lamberts, the resort’s General Manager.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Santiburi has unveiled its “Romantic Retreat” package which includes a minimum three-night stay at a luxury pool villa (Grand Deluxe Pool Villa or Grand Reserve Pool Villa), daily breakfast, a bottle of sparkling wine, a candlelight set dinner at The Beach House restaurant, a 60-minute signature couple’s spa treatment in the privacy of the villa and roundtrip airport transfers. From THB 5,480 net per couple, this package can be booked by visiting us at  santiburisamui.com/offers. Family offers are also available under this website section.
