The Amatara wellness cuisine
concept is deeply rooted in ancient traditions, making it a peaceful
sanctuary to embrace authentic healing and living foods. The menu is
based on local Thai cultural inspiration, which encourages the nurturing of
harmony with spirit, the environment and to re-connect with one another. Amatara’s
mind, body and spirit approach to wellness and wholefood supports an organic
healing process to naturally heal and improve the body and state of wellbeing;
a key part of this is of course superb nutrition.
Amatara’s Wellness Director,
Phoebe Boonkerd, explains, “Through the guest's
experience of our simple, balanced, creative and delicious wholefood cuisine,
it is our hope that the guest returns home feeling nourished and rejuvenated,
and inspired to continue the journey of good health through optimal nutrition.
The menu is designed by our head chef and our nutritionists; it offers a
delicious and healthy composition of the highest quality local and imported
ingredients, organic fruits, vegetables and free-range meat and poultry.
General Manager of Amatara Resort
& Wellness, Brice Borin, said, “The
Retreat is an exciting addition to our restaurant outlets and is a hidden gem
for healthy food lovers. The Retreat opens for breakfast for Wellness Retreat
guests and Pool Villa guests, as well as for lunch and dinner for all guests
looking for healthy cuisine of exceptional quality. We recently launched the
world’s first luxury Thai hammam experience at Amatara, as well as reinventing
our premium spa and wellness programs. The Retreat is an incredible ocean-view
dining outlet to blend perfectly with the Amatara Wellness guest experience.”
The Retreat will be serving a variety
of healthy options including raw juice blends, superfood smoothie blends,
salads, appetisers, soups, broth, main course, desserts, herbal tea and healthy
coffee. These are delicately crafted in-house based on foundations of using
real, unrefined whole foods, free range, cold–pressed oil and avoiding additives,
pesticides, toxins, refined sugars and extremes of temperature.
The menu features seasonal,
innovative cuisine with a diverse array of traditional and modern healthy
eating influences. For example, the delicious-yet-healthy menus feature Soft
Cured Ocean Trout with Organic Leaf Salad, Poached Prawns & Quinoa Salad
with Ginger and Ginseng Dressing, Goji & Mussel Chowder Soup, Stir Fried
Beef Tenderloin with Ginger and Yuzu Soy Sauce, Young Coconut Pudding and many
more.
