To celebrate the “7+7” expansion of the Phuket Sandbox, international travellers can now take advantage of S Hotels and Resorts 14-night “1 trip 2 Sensations” packages that combine serene stays at SAii Laguna Phuket with a week at SAii Phi Phi Island Village or Santiburi Koh Samui.

The Phuket Sandbox is expanding! Under the new “7+7” expansion of Thailand’s popular international tourism programme, travellers from over 60 countries and territories worldwide can now enjoy outstanding two-centre escapes in southern Thailand, as they combine seven nights in Phuket with seven more in Koh Samui, Krabi or Phang Nga province.

To celebrate the launch of this initiative, S Hotels and Resorts Public Company Limited, the flagship hospitality arm of Thailand’s Singha Estate PCL, has unveiled a pair of attractive packages that let overseas couples and families unwind at a combination of inspiring and eco-sensitive beachfront resorts in southern Thailand. Whether you want to pair your stress-free stay at SAii Laguna Phuket with the pristine beauty of SAii Phi Phi Island Village or the five-star tranquillity of Santiburi Koh Samui, S Hotels & Resorts’ “1 trip 2 sensations” packages are the perfect option.

Under the “1 trip 2 sensations: Phuket+Phi Phi” package (starting from THB 47,000 net for 14 nights), beach lovers can spend seven dreamy days at SAii Laguna Phuket before taking a short, complimentary boat ride across the sparkling sea to Koh Phi Phi for a serene seven-night sojourn at SAii Phi Phi Island Village. Throughout this fantastic 14-night vacation, guests will be rewarded with a daily breakfast for two, a 25% discount on F&B and laundry, and free meals for kids¹.

At SAii Laguna Phuket, the breath-taking beachfront resort at Bangtao Bay, overlooking the Andaman Sea, guests will also be treated to a complimentary transfer from the airport, early check-in, late check-out², and one three-course lunch or dinner for two. Children aged 12 and under stay for free³!

Then at SAii Phi Phi Island Village, with its 800-metre-long stretch of powder-soft sand, visitors will benefit from an upgrade to the next category of bungalow or villa, one couple’s dinner with a bottle of wine. In addition to this, guests will get access to the Marine Discovery Centre, the interactive conservation hub where guests can meet the resident marine biologist and learn about the resort’s efforts to preserve the unique undersea environment.

They will also get the opportunity to try their hands at complimentary non-motorised water sports and activities such as kayaking, paddle-boarding and eco-sensitive mangrove tours. Upon departure, guests will be transferred back to the airport by boat and car. Please CLICK HERE to learn more.

Both resorts will offer daily breakfast every morning, free roundtrip airport transfers, early check-in and late check-out².
