We all tend to pile on the pounds while on vacation, so it's worth taking note of Thanyapura Health in Phuket, who've just launched a series of health programmes that are designed to help visitors destress, detox, and lose weight. 

If you're looking to relieve stress, the center's 7 and 14-night destress programmes (THB68,020 or S$2,638 upwards), which are facilitated by professional fitness trainers and an international medical team, include privata yoga sessions, a full nutrition review, massages and lessons with Thanyapura's Mind Centre trainers. 

Or, if losing weight is your goal, the 10 and 14-night weight loss programmes (THB99,270 or S$3,850 upwards) focus on healthy eating and exercise habits, and include a personal consultation with Thanyapura Health's medical physician, as well as sessions with a mind trainer. 

Alternatively, if you want to detox (all the rage now), go for the 7 and 10-night detox packages (THB80,967 or S$3,140 upwards) instead, which involve IV therapies, a specially designed detox diet, infra-red saunas and light therapy to help the body eliminate toxins and metabolic wastes. 

All participants will be lodged at the 77-room Thanyapura Sports Hotel, while getting to use the facilities in Thanyapura's four centers. For more info, email reservations@thanyapura.com or visit the official website.
