SPECIAL OFFER: YOGA HOLIDAY KOH LIPE

I love yoga. And since I went to Bali and practiced my asana’s in the open air, I’m hooked on yoga holidays (when they say: ‘breath in’ and you smell the nature instead of the heavy odour from your classmate, it certainly makes a huge difference). Yoga in another country is cool, but you have to be lucky with the teacher (I’m not gonna tell you my experience in Tulum with an ex-con from Israel but bootcamp is nothing compared to that lesson).

SPECIAL OFFER
Casa di Yoga is a Dutch company organising yoga holidays (and make sure you don’t meet an ex-con like I did). One of them is in Thailand. In Koh Lipe. If you book their yoga holiday over there, you’ll get two lessons a day and be free to spend the rest of the day on the beach. Or get a Thai yogamassage (heaven!). This yogaweek takes place from May 12 – May 19 and normally costs 695 euro, but because Casa di Yoga really likes Petite Passport, you can book it now for 595 euro. Be sure to mention Petite Passport when making the booking. More information: www.casadiyoga.nl

Babs den Haring is  one of the most dedicated Petite Passport travellers. Together with her handsome husband she travelled to Koh Samui:

Most striking feature:

“Their outside shower. Isn’t that the best thing on earth? This hotel on Koh Samui is beautiful. The people who work here are very friendly. And there is a fantastic pond at the reception. First you have to cross a small little bridge over that pond to get to the reception. We stayed in a Garden Pool Villa with our own private pool. Definitely a great Honeymoon destination.”

TRIED & TESTED: RASANANDA KOH PHANGAN

Babs den Haring is  one of the most dedicated Petite Passport travellers. Together with her handsome husband she travelled to Koh Phangan:

Most striking feature:

“The quiet Rasananda Resort is located in the middle of nowhere. You have to reach it with a 4×4 and it’s hard to get away: but that’s exactly what you want when you check in at this beautiful resort for your honeymoon (in our case). The suite was beautiful with our plunge pool, a huge bathroom and extra’s like a bathrobe, slippers and even a bag to take with you to the beach. The deckchairs on their private beach have your room number, so you don’t have to worry about not having a place to relax on the beach. This is the perfect place to relax!”
