Winter is only made bearable by three things - hot chocolates, sheepskin boots and spontaneous holidays to perennially warm Thailand.

And with today's seasonal Cudo, you and your beloved can leave the winter woollies behind and pack your summer skimpies instead.

For only $299 you're metres from the famous Patong Beach in Phuket, staying FIVE nights at the gloriously swank Andakira Hotel. And you save an even swankier 62%! Here's what you'll both enjoy in this equatorial paradise:

• Five nights' accommodation in a Deluxe Room
• Full hot and cold buffet breakfast daily
• Cold towel and refreshments on arrival
• Fresh, seasonal fruit basket in room on arrival
• Discount of 10% on food at the hotel restaurant
• Daily shuttle bus to Patong Beach
• Free wireless internet access in room

Not only are you in the hub of Phuket near major shopping precincts, vibrant nightlife and the sprawling beach, you're also curled up in the golden lap of luxury.

The Andakira Hotel knows and exhibits the true meaning of the word deluxe. And your room is the perfect example of this with 49 square metres of space housing an opulent ensuite bathroom with shower and bathtub and the quintessential bathrobes and high end toiletries.

You're ensconced in privacy but can also greet the world on your private balcony. You may even be lucky enough to score a room overlooking the tranquil infinity lap pool. And when you can muster enough motivation to float through the resort you can enjoy cocktails at the Pool Bar, delicious Western and Thai fusion delights in the restaurant, relaxing treatments in the day spa and 24 hour, warm Thai hospitality. 

So step into your slippers, sip a hot chocolate and click the 'Buy now' button! You and your partner are headed to Thailand for five extravagant nights in the luxury Andakira Hotel in Phuket. It's only $299 to make this winter not just bearable but unbelievable!
