Shanti Ananda Maurice: The spirit of
Ayurveda |
 |
|
Rooted in natural remedies, Ayurveda
– the “knowledge of life” – is one of the world’s oldest healthcare
systems. For five millennia, this treatment technique from India has
embraced every aspect of life: the bodily and material as well as the
emotional and spiritual. Ayurveda is also central to the concept
behind the new Shanti Ananda Maurice. |

Labriz Silhouette:
Luxury resort on the shores of a tropical island |
 |
|
The rugged Silhouette Island, the
third largest island in the Seychelles, ascends from the Indian Ocean,
19 kilometres northwest of Mahé. The dense and almost virginal
rain-forest, the steep inclines, and the broad scattering of sandy
bays have prevented any form of mass human settlement up until now.
For the exotic natural environment surrounding the luxurious Labriz
Silhouette Resort, this represents a piece of good fortune. |

Trogon House and Forest Spa:
Peace in the tree tops |
 |
|
Luxury hotels like to surround
themselves with tastefully laid-out gardens. Not Trogon House and
Forest Spa. The lodge is embraced by mother’s nature just as it was
created. No-one’s ever laid a finger on it, while guests inside the
lodge feel as cosy as in their mother’s lap. |

Victoria Angkor Resort & Spa:
Cambodia's World of T emples |
 |
|
For decades, Cambodia had completely disappeared
from the face of Asian traveler maps. Since the peace treaty in 1991,
the land of the Khmer has become increasingly concerned with its long
forgotten culture. The temple city of Angkor, one of the most
impressive historical monuments in the world, and one of Asia’s
cultural highlights, embodies these sentiments. The Victoria Angkor
Resort and Spa presents itself as a luxurious gateway to this
mysterious world of stone gods. The resort offers its guests
professional service, outstanding culinary delights and luxurious five
star retreat destinations, and is only a short drive away from the
main tourist attractions. |
