On arrival enjoy a private transfer from Krabi Airport to Aleenta Resort & Spa for next 7 nights stay (Ocean View Loft Room) inclusive of breakfast and 2 free nights (valid until November 2008) Lying on the unspoilt Natai beach just 15 minutes away from Thailands beautiful PhangNga Bay, the resort has only 15 suites and a handful of villas, all blending seamlessly into the surroundings. Facilities include a swimming pool, Aleenta Spa with a range of pampering treatments, a fine dining restaurant and a lounge with an open-air bar overlooking the sea.
At Aleenta, its not just about self-indulgent luxury but also about being socially responsible and environmentally friendly. Our favourite part of the Aleenta is the turtle sanctuary in the beautiful Khao Lumpee-Haad Thaymuang National Park where Aleenta employs a full-time representative, and where, every year, hundreds of baby turtles emerge from the shore. The sanctuary is lucky enough to house all four species of Marine Turtles currently found in Thailand: the Leatherback, the Olive Ridley, the Hawksbill, and the Green Turtle. Aleenta welcomes all guests to join their day trip to visit this spectacular park and learn more about these turtles. They provide education for guests about turtle conservation and have also launched their own concentrated education campaign for local school children as they recognize that the future of the marine turtles requires community wide cooperation and understanding. Aleenta matches donations for guests of THB40/per night to the Turtle Sanctuary and have also pledged a second annual THB100,000 donation to the Marine Turtle Foundation. Staying at Aleenta will leave you not only relaxed and refreshed but with wonderful memories of taking part in a very rewarding lifetime project that contributes to the conservation of marine turtles in Thailand and the beautiful environment you have come from so far to enjoy.
