Indigo Pearl, a five-star luxury resort that recalls the tin mining history of Phuket a pebble’s throw from pristine Nai Yang Beach, has launched six attractive packages with the discerning traveler in mind.

For honeymooners and newly weds, the Lovers Escape is a 3-days/2-nights affair with candlelight dinner, spa treatments at the IN-DI-GO spa and sightseeing trips in Phuket Town and Patong.

Those looking just to get away and repose have a choice of the Simply Exhale or Zen Packages, which promises stress-busting treats, lots of yoga, tai chi, and epicurean cuisine.

The Retail Therapy Package, as its name suggests, caters to shopaholics with discounts on in-resort purchases or nearby Phuket Town.

Thrill-seekers can satiate their adrenalin addiction with bungee jumping, Thai boxing, sea canoeing or snorkeling with the Adventure Package, which comes with a special 50 percent discount on room rates for Thai citizens or residents.

There’s four different types of rooms to choose from – Kelly Quarters, Plantation Villas, Pearl Bed Suites or Private Pool Pavilions, with prices starting from $203 per night, from now till 31 October, 2009.
