Tell us about the collaboration between Anantara and BDMS Wellness Retreat

Our partnership with BDMS Wellness Retreat provides us with plenty of new opportunities to integrate Anantara’s spa services with a raft of wellness expertise. Collaborating with BDMS – one of the most luxurious medical facilities and the largest operator of private hospitals with over 50 facilities across Thailand and Cambodia – is a privilege for us. It gives us scope to offer our guests a variety of retreat programmes targeting specific components of wellness pillars, such as detox, immune boosting, anti-ageing and weight balance. They can experience this while staying with us and discovering the city of Bangkok.

How has demand changed since Thailand reopened for international tourism?

Since the pandemic our external guest to in-house guest capture rate is now 20:80% where it used to be around 40:60%. Many people are seeking a much more holistic wellness approach beyond massages, such as yoga, meditation, sound healing, and medical modalities such as IV therapies and wellness screening.

Preventative care medicine is one of our main core concepts at BDMS with comprehensive beauty and aesthetics programming, including PRP, botox and fillers, IV therapy, Royal Slim treatment, and Bioscor hair treatments.

How do you personalise each programme?

The technology used by BDMS lab tests provides comprehensive wellness screening, including NK cell activity testing, DNA premium testing, telomere length testing, cancer screening, IgG4 food intolerance testing, gut microbiome testing, sleep testing and much more. We also offer a full rehabilitation clinic to address chronic pain.

Our highly personalised approach to vitamin and hormone medical testing allows us to fully customise the supplements and beauty skincare products we can recommend and supply foraftercare. In fact, Anantara Riverside is one of very few properties in Bangkok that offers such a comprehensive wellness medical check-up in combination with a luxury hospitality setting.

What makes this new partnership one to watch?

BDMS Wellness Retreat at Anantara Riverside has greatly enhanced our current holistic spa offering and delivers an elevation of our wellness concept, which as a brand, we strongly believe is the way forward. Our unique collaboration where the holistic and medical components can merge, makes Anantara Riverside one of the best wellness destinations in the region.
