Hilton Worldwide Resorts launches wellness packages this summer

Guests can choose from a range of three or seven night packages at 45 resorts with a host of activities such as well-being treatments, golf lessons, excursions, fishing trips and water sports.

"It's been a year since the launch of our Hilton Worldwide Resorts brand - and to celebrate this summer, we wanted to create a series of packages giving guests the option of a three or seven-night stay. With the quieter summer months ahead for residents in the region, now is the time to start thinking of booking a relaxing and rejuvenating break," said Guy Epsom, Regional Sales and Marketing Director, Hilton International, Arabian Peninsula at Arabian Travel Market this week.

The Hilton Salalah Resort set in an oasis of Omani luxury offers luxurious rooms with ocean views, sumptuous dining and a range of leisure options. Guests can choose from diving, water sports and spa treatments at the Dolphin Health Club, to visiting the famous frankincense trees in Jebel Samhan desert, the Khor Rouri 'Queen of Sheba' archaeological site or the Ayn Razat natural springs and lakes.

Meanwhile, at Hilton Kuwait Resort's Thalassatherapy Spa, guests can relax in the Aquamedic pool, the sauna or Turkish bath. Alternatively, for a full day of spa therapy, the 'Cloud Nine' package starts with a floral hydrotherapy bath and ends with a scalp and face massage. Other treatments and therapies include reflexology, detoxification, aromatherapy, moisturising milk or purifying mud baths and a range of massages.

"Customers can now conduct a virtual online tour of all our resorts on www.hilton.com/worldwideresorts before booking their holiday. We are the first upscale hotel chain to offer seamless 360 degree virtual walks. You arrive at the resort with a click of the mouse, take a virtual walk to your room, stop to visit the spa, check out the dive centre, restaurants and bar or even take a quick stroll along the beach," added Epsom.

The Hilton Worldwide Resorts portfolio is set to expand with 14 new openings planned over the next three years offering guests an even wider global selection and choice of holiday experiences - from total spa resorts such as the Hilton Evian Resort & Spa in France, to the Hilton Margaret Vineyard Resort & Spa in Australia and the Hilton Amazon Eco-Lodge set amidst the Brazilian rainforest.

Asia is adding four new Hilton Worldwide Resorts to its existing three. 2004 has already witnessed the opening of the Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa in Thailand, and the luxurious Conrad Bali and Spa in Indonesia. The Conrad Phuket Resort & Spa is set to open later this year, with the Hilton Krabi Resort & Spa in 2005.

The Hilton ATM stand is located in Hall 5 Stand 2940 at the DWTC Exhibition Centre.
