PRIVACY......The
grand deluxe bedroom isn't going to be kid friendly anymore.
THE AKYRA Chura Samui luxury
resort will soon ban children from the hotel, reported
etravelblackboardasia.com last week.
This will make the resort
the second hotel in Thailand to accept bookings only for adults, next to Layana
Resort & Spa in Krabi.
From 1st November, children
under the age of 12 will not be allowed at the one-year-old resort which is
located by Chaweng Noi beach on Koh Samui island.
The hotel said this is
because demand has grown quickly for more private, couples-oriented holiday
experiences and the change was a very natural progression to which the resort
was perfectly suited.
"We have a no children
under 12 policy, which allows for a more tranquil, adult-focused resort,"
resident manager Colin Owen Healy told the travel news website.
The Akyra Chura Samui is a
61-suite resort under the aegis of AHMS group, which also owns the Aleenta
boutique resorts in Phuket and Hua Hin. There's no word on whether the Aleenta
properties will follow suit on the ban on children.
In Asia, the trend of
adults-only travel is catching on, including hotels that are imposing bans on
children in designated areas.
Club Med, for instance,
recently unveiled a series of renovations to its Malaysian property, Cherating
Beach Resort, creating a Zen Space with a quiet pool that's reserved for only
adults. (Relaxnews)
