Hydroponics garden now supplying the Paresa Kitchens

Paresa Resort launches its own fresh produce Garden

Paresa Resort situated on the drastic waterfront of Kamala, known for its unrivaled luxury and exquisite views of Andaman Sea has launched its very own hydroponic garden, whose herbs and fresh greens are utilized in our menus and the Spa by Paresa.

This eco-friendly garden accounts for 30% of all the herbs and salad greens used in the kitchen and is also creatively being incorporated into the Spa in different ways. It takes anything up to 3 weeks for the herbs and greenery to grow before it can be picked. Once picked the Executive Chef decides what new herbs to plant according to what new authentic Thai or sophisticated Mediterranean dish he would like to add a twist to in the upcoming weeks.

Amongst all the Thai herbs being grown there is Holy Basil, Lemon Grass, green and red Lettuce and more. Fresh Bananas are picked daily from our garden so that our guests can enjoy making a fresh banana smoothie in the morning or enjoy a hot cup of lemongrass tea. Lemongrass is quite well known as an herbal tea used to speed up a slow digestive system. Paresa has created their own version of the tea and turned it into a cool and refreshing beverage to be served to guests upon arrival. Paresa also finds the time to grow some extra herbs and donates them along with some seeds to the community garden at Kajonkiet International School Phuket.

Throughout the Resort you’ll see the natural Southern Thai style that has been used whether it is in the architecture or the open style of the villas. Paresa continues this design into the Spa, a heavenly sanctuary, inspired by Thai healing which uses only natural and luxurious products by “Panpuri” in its treatments. Instead of buying Pandanus oil to burn in the Spa, Paresa makes most of the plant which is natively grown in the lush green forest of Phuket and handpicks its leaves everyday to burn in the treatment rooms to draw the sweet-smelling scent out of them. These leaves release a relaxing, calming and earthy aroma which can be enjoyed through scent or in a floral bath. Paresa also uses its own fresh Papaya, handpicked from the garden and incorporated into a revitalizing and unique treatment. Fresh Papaya is great for the skin due to its enzymes and vitamins that soften and revitalize the skin leaving it soft and radiant.

Paresa Resort, an oasis of tranquility offers guests the experience to stay in a luxurious hideaway and experience the “Heavens of all Heavens” ensuring guests leave feeling revitalized, refreshed and of course, heavenly.
