Want to experience the thrill of the slopes? The best time to ski at the spectacular Remarkables Mountain range in Queenstown, New Zealand is from June through August and the time to book is now. Aptly named, the mountain range is truly an incredible site rising dramatically into the sky and offering skiing terrain suitable for all ages and levels. After hitting the slopes, unwind at the Anantara Vacation Club at Oaks Shores in spacious apartments overlooking Lake Wakatipu. The crisp, fresh air combined with luxurious facilities will give you just the boost you need mid-year!

GET TO KNOW THE RESORT MANAGEMENT IN BALI AND KOH SAMUI.

Behind every Anantara Vacation Club team member is an experienced traveller, a passion for hospitality and a lot of personality! This month, we spoke with the new General Manager of Operations Anantara Vacation Club Bali Seminyak, I Made Subrata, and Korbkul Kaewkarn (Khun Grape) Villa Manager at our Anantara Vacation Club Bophut Koh Samui to see how they themselves travel and glean some insider tips on how to make the most of both destinations. You can find the complete interviews here.

Here’s a look at what they had to say…

 
 
 
I MADE SUBRATA

With more than twenty years experience in resort operations across many international properties, including Intercontinental Bali Resort, Conrad Bali and Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort, Made recently became the General Manager of Operations at Anantara Vacation Club Seminyak Bali.

Q: What do you miss about Bali while you are away? 

A: The natural beauty, the culture and people of Bali, and, most of all, the spiritual magic of the island keeps me missing Bali while I am away. These things are such an important part of Bali, my birthplace, that I could never stay away long.

 
     
 
Q: What is the best restaurant, café or bar that you have visited while travelling?

A: Chaam while visiting Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao Phuket. The great selection at the breakfast buffet was an excellent start for a productive day - I liked the healthy corner that had a wide range of choices. For dinner, the menu featuring Thai cuisine was very special. I had the Tom Yam Goong which had an incredibly authentic taste – delicious!

 
 
 
Q: Who is your favourite travelling companion?

A: My family - I want to show them the whole world. They love exploring new places and it creates excellent moments to share family time together as I’m often busy with work and serving the community traditions. The children always are excited to travel and it provides good motivation for them to study better and help us at home when we’re planning for the next trip.

 
 
 
KORBKUL KAEWKARN (GRAPE)

Khun Grape joined the pre-opening team of Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao Phuket in November 2012 as Guest Relations Manager and was promoted to Duty Manager in September 2013. Now, as the new Villa Manager of Anantara Vacation Club Koh Samui, Khun Grape takes pride in delivering the highest levels of Owner and guest satisfaction at all times and is a great asset to the team in Samui.

Q: What do you miss about Samui while you are away?

A: I’m a tropical person through and through so always miss Koh Samui’s sea, sun, sand and coconut trees when I’m away.

 
 
 
Q: How do you maintain health and fitness while you are away?

A: Eating and trying local dishes! I love trying new dishes to eat local and learn about a destination’s culture…then I make sure to walk around town and leave my prints in the sand – good exercise for both the body and mind!

 
 
Q: What is your most treasured possession you have picked up while travelling?

A: Pictures. I always bring home all my souvenirs on a memory stick.
