Vacation ownership clubs offer a vast array of options for holiday retreats all over the world.  With the peace of mind of having your holiday organised year after year through a holiday club the most you have to worry about is deciding exactly where to go.

Our top recommendation is to take a break in one of the many yoga and spa retreats available in amazing locations in Thailand. Club Absolute has many boutique spa resorts and luxury hotels to choose from for your next luxury Thai holiday. Relax and unwind in total comfort with their range of spa menus to suit everyone.



So, what can you expect from a Club Absolute boutique spa resort? Well of course all the comforts you would receive in any quality luxury hotel or resort but with the additional benefit of dedicated spa options allowing you to experience unique therapies for total wellness. You will be well pampered and taken good care of by well-trained professional therapists, guaranteeing that you will find the experience a memorable one.

One spa treatment not to be missed is the world famous Thai massage. This type of massage is particularly unique as it is performed primarily on the floor and there are no massage oils used. The treatment will last for one to two hours and will include stretching and pressure applied to the entire body. The practitioner will tailor the process to fit your precise needs making this the perfect way to unwind on your vacation ownership holiday.

Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Many people say Thai massage is like doing yoga without any work. Using passive stretching and gentle pressure along the body’s energy lines, its purpose is to heal a person physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The stretching and energy line work in Thai massage is important in helping to lengthen muscles and make them more flexible, supple and less prone to injury, while joints benefit from a greater range of motion. In addition, studies have shown that stretching can have a protective effect via increased skeletal muscle tensile strength. The stretching in Thai massage also releases endorphins, further promoting a relaxation response. Known to have many health benefits including the readjustment of skeletal structure, increased mobility and flexibility, relief of muscle and joint pain and balance of the natural energy system of the body, Thai massage is an essential ingredient for an enjoyable spa experience.

This is just one treatment you can access on your Club Absolute holiday in a luxury boutique resort, each has its own menu of massage, reflexology, scrubs, wraps, manicures, waxes, facials and other skin soothing treatments too choose from.
