We all know the inclusive deals – welcome drink, half-hour foot massage, ABF and return transfers between airport and hotel, all as part of the price of the room at your hotel.

But tiny Sala Resorts & Spas – which has just two five-star resorts, both  in Thailand, on Phuket and on Koh Samui – is offering something better:  Book rooms in both resorts, and you get resort-airport-airport-resort transfers thrown in. Yup, they’ll fly you from one resort to the other. Free. The free one-way flights are on offer for up to two guests, so families are out of luck.

But for honeymooners or other couples, the promotion is available until October 31 for any guests staying at least five paid nights.

It can be tailored for any combination of nights at either luxury resort, whether one, two, three or four. Air fares can either be deducted from bills or reimbursed cash-in-hand, and the offer is valid in conjunction with any other packages.

The Sala on Samui was recently voted one of the world’s Top 10 most romantic resorts and the most romantic in Thailand, in this year’s  Trip Advisor Travelers’ Choice Awards (download pdf here). It has 69 villas and suites, 53 of them with swimming pools.
