Trisara Showcases Sustainable Dining Via New Wellspring Program Package is one of two limited-time offers curated by pioneering Phuket resort this summer

PHUKET, Thailand — Trisara, one of Phuket’s most alluring stays, is transporting guests from resort to farm to table then back again courtesy of a new limited-time program, Wellspring.

The package is a collaboration with Tri Vananda, a US$182 million wellness community in northern Phuket, conceived by Montara Hospitality Group, the visionary owners of Trisara.

In addition to entitling guests to a two-night stay at Trisara, the package will showcase the sustainability innovations that have earned Montara Hospitality Group a reputation for forward-thinking.

First guests will be shown around the 16,000 sqm Pru Jampa organic farm within the Tri Vananda boundaries. The farm supplies produce for Trisara’s PRU — Phuket’s only Michelin-starred restaurant — and sister restaurant JAMPA at Tri Vananda, which holds a Michelin Green Star for its zero-waste cuisine.

The 16,000 sqm Pru Jampa organic farm is the source of much of the produce used at MICHELIN-accoladed dining venues PRU and JAMPA

After touring the farm, guests can experience a set lunch at JAMPA, which follows a farm-to-table and zero-waste philosophy, utilising locally grown ingredients and live fire. The venue, helmed by executive chef Rick Dingen, holds a prestigious MICHELIN Green Star accolade, cementing its position as a leader in eco-conscious dining.

“There’s a huge interest among the public in dining experiences that support local communities and showcase amazing Thai produce,” said Kittisak “Kitt” Pattamasaevi, the CEO of Montara Hospitality Group “The Wellspring program intertwines sustainable cuisine and nature with luxury, showcasing our commitment to sustainable cooking and sourcing and delighting guests through innovation.”

In addition to the farm and dining experiences at Tri Vananda, the Wellspring package will also entitle guests to a round-trip airport transfer between Phuket International Airport and Trisara; daily international breakfast for 2 persons per bedroom; and complimentary non-motorized water sports including sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkelling. The Wellspring offer is available from 15 July-31 October 2024.

Another limited-time offer at Trisara, available from now until the end of September, entitles guests to similar benefits to those on the Wellspring package with additional perks including In-room homemade chocolate truffles, cookies, tea, and coffee, and THB 2,500 resort credit per bedroom per night redeemable for on-site wellbeing activities or dining experiences.

Trisara offers an array of private pool suites and villas, perfect for families and groups of friends. Guests can choose from residential villas ranging from 2-bedroom- to 8-bedroom options, each designed to provide privacy and luxury amidst the resort’s lush tropical surroundings.

Other highlights include a host of acclaimed culinary concepts. These include PRU — one of Thailand’s most critically lauded venues —Mediterranean-inspired beachside venue CIELO, and SAT at Trisara, where the finest locally sourced ingredients are utilised for Southern Thai recipes passed down through generations.

The resort’s Jara Wellness program provides guests with comprehensive well-being options, including tailored wellness plans by dedicated wellness concierges. Trisara also offers a variety of activities such as Trisara Cruises, exploring the beautiful waters surrounding Phuket.

“We look forward to welcoming families and friends seeking a memorable retreat filled with relaxation, adventure, and genuine Thai hospitality,” added Kitt.

Waew Brings a Flavour of the Med to the Andaman Ocean at Trisara Luxury resort’s new al fresco concept showcases fresh, sustainable cuisine in a casual atmosphere

Leading Phuket luxury resort Trisara has added to its constellation of culinary stars with the launch of a Mediterranean-inspired dining concept.

Named Waew after the triangular island visible from the property’s private beach, the new concept imparts a flavour of Southern Europe to the gilded shores of the Andaman Ocean — in terms of both its cuisine and casual, laid-back character.

Mere footsteps from the beach, Waew utilizes the best in sustainably sourced produce for menu items inspired by the famously light and vibrant food traditions of the coastal regions of Southern Europe and the Levant.

Bold flavours are enhanced by preparation styles that range from light grilling to live-fire cooking in a statement wood-fired oven.

An extensive wine list encompassing natural and boutique wines from acclaimed producers and the soothing soundtrack of lapping Andaman waves, meanwhile, encourage long, leisurely lunches and indulgent dinners.

“We wanted to introduce a novel all-day dining concept at Trisara,” said Kittisak “Kitt” Pattamasaevi, the CEO of Montara Hospitality Group, the owners of Trisara. “And what could be fresher than a restaurant that embraces the healthy food traditions of Southern Europe?

“At Waew, diners can sample reimagined classics from the Mediterranean and beyond while gazing upon the pristine beauty of our private beach and the sparkling waters of the Andaman Ocean.”

Indeed, diners can savour the delights of indoor or al fresco dining while being whisked away on an epic gastronomic voyage spanning Portugal, France, Italy, Lebanon, Spain, and Greece.

Sample menu items include grilled sardines with Provence olive oil, lemon, and parsley; Pissaladière Provençal tart with caramelized onion, anchovies, black olives, and thyme; Burrata salad with cherry tomatoes, basil oil, lemon zest; And smoked Australian lamb cutlets with chimichurri and cauliflower tabbouleh.

As you might expect from a venue with a tangible connection with the ocean, there’s a strong emphasis on fresh seafood. And the best of Thailand’s marine bounty is showcased in dishes such as Phuket lobster with herb salad and beurre blanc; Andaman seabream cooked in a seaweed-fennel salt crust; and wood-fire grilled octopus with romesco sauce.

Trisara is established as a culinary force in Thailand thanks to the success of PRU, its signature dining venue, which is currently the only venue on Phuket with a MICHELIN star.

Montara Hospitality Group’s nose for a strong culinary concept is also in evidence at its Tri Vananda project, a US$182 million wellness community taking shape in the verdant forests of northern Phuket, where Jampa earned a MICHELIN Green Star for its zero-waste, plant-based food.

Montara Hospitality’s “Dine Good, Do Good” concept — a philosophy that puts an emphasis on sustainable local sourcing — in place across all its F&B outlets. As such, Waew utilizes produce sourced whenever possible from local artisans and from the 16,000 sqm Pru Jampa organic farm, located within the Tri Vananda boundaries.

“Trisara has earned an enviable reputation for its commitment to creative, sustainable cuisine,” added Kitt. “And we are confident that this creed will only be enhanced as Waew becomes better known.”

The signature Royal Trisara six-hands treatment is a not-to-be-missed therapy at Jara Wellness at Trisara

Trisara’s Jara Wellness elevated by return of six-hands Royal treatment  New facial therapy and wellbeing program also enhance offerings at renowned facility

Phuket – Jara Wellness, the award-winning spa at Trisara, is reupping its wellness offerings with the reintroduction of its signature Royal Trisara six-hands treatment and unveiling of a new facial therapy and a wellbeing program.

Trisara, an exclusive hideaway in Phuket’s unspoiled northwestern corner, is regarded as one of Thailand’s most desirable addresses. And Jara Wellness, with its serene treatment rooms and expert therapists, is one of the resort’s outstanding features.

The century-old ficus tree that surrounds Jara Wellness provides inspiration for its five pillars. Those are: nourish the roots, engage with the soil, give strength to the core, be tranquil, and take care of one’s inner self. These principles inform the spa’s Root to Wellness philosophy which focuses on mindful, active, natural, restorative, and wholesome healing.

As one of Phuket’s leading spa resorts, Trisara is in the vanguard of a shift towards wellness tourism in Thailand

And the Zen appeal of the facility is being enhanced courtesy of its new and reintroduced therapies that provide the ultimate in spa relaxation.

“Thanks to the therapies at Jara Wellness, Trisara is regarded as one of the best spa resorts in Thailand,” says Kittisak “Kitt” Pattamasaevi, the CEO of Montara Hospitality Group, the owners of Trisara. “By adding carefully curated experiences to our wellness offerings, our reputation as a hub for holistic therapies can only be enhanced.”

Royal Trisara, a 90-minute, three-therapist, six-hand massage procedure has just been relaunched as the resort’s signature treatment and is a not-to-be missed experience.

The experience begins with a foot scrub using lemongrass essential oil. A gentle Thai massage to the feet and shoulders is followed by a series of Thai herbal hot compress pouches being applied to specific parts of the body channeling energy and relaxing muscles.

The treatment then evolves into a combination of Thai and Swedish massage using organic jojoba oil which is non-fragrant and highly nutritious to the skin with kneading, acupressure and long strokes from the therapists’ hands, forearms and elbows timed in perfect synchrony across the entire back of the body.

The experience concludes with a simultaneous warm coconut oil, scalp, head and shoulder massage, and Thai oil foot massage.

While the Royal Trisara treatment is making a welcome return following the pandemic, other therapies at Jara Wellness are completely fresh. A new facial therapy uses premium products from The Organic Pharmacy, a leading Thai skincare brand, to achieve perfectly healthy skin and cutaneous wellness.

Also new are a selection of curated wellbeing programs which combine body shape and fitness analysis with expert consultants, spa experiences at Jara Wellness and holistic and active movement sessions with options spanning Muay Thai (Thai boxing), yoga, tai chi and meditation.

Thailand’s tourism leaders are promoting wellness as a priority in the wake of the pandemic. And Kitt is confident that the world-class offerings at Jara Spa will help drive this push.

“Wellness travel is growing, and the quality of the traveller is also higher in this niche,” said Kitt. “Our traditional Thai healing practices take cues from the restorative spirit of nature and address the sensitivities of modern life and I think that is something that resonates with people currently.”
