My husband
shouted it to me while I was loading some washing so I didn't quite catch
all of what he said although I heard the tanning bit. Tanning has two meanings
for me, both of them highly acceptable.
"What was that,
P?"
"I said you can
get tanned by a personal butler, all day for just £126. You've got to go to the
Maldives to get it though."
"Really? We've never been to the Maldives, what is it, some
hedonist retreat?"
"Dunno, it
doesn't say, just that it's a Reethi Rah resort and they've got state of the art
technology to calculate your safe tanning potential. I expect yours
would be high."
"That sounds very
professional, P, so you wouldn't need a safe word, just trust the butler and his
technology to know when you've been tanned sufficiently?"
"I expect so,
I'll send you the link."
I got the link
later with a short message and a smiley, hoping I hadn't got too excited at
the thought of a professional gentleman tanning me from
morning to night until I was worn out or 'spent out'. Cheeky
devil.
Of course the whole thing was entirely innocent and referred to sun tanning and I'm sure the hotel's 'tanning butler' does it very well. I'm equally sure my kinky take on it would have its appeal too though:)

The actual
article was in Times Travel by Susan D'Arcy, I've pasted a bit
of it below:-
Travel is becoming an
increasingly bespoke affair. We can select our plane seats, pick from a pillow
menu or order a candlelit dinner to be served on the beach. But while most of us
get excited about a £100 upgrade to premium economy, there is a class of
travellers who want rather more: in fact, they require the instant fulfilment of
whatever crazy whim has come into their heads, for the simple reason that they
can afford it. The hoteliers, airlines and agents to the elite have given us the
most outrageous examples. Want to know how the other half travels? Read
on.
The
ultimate tan
No lobster-red guests at the One and Only Reethi Rah (reethirah.oneandonlyresorts.com), in the Maldives. The hotel offers tanning butlers, who use state-of-the-art technology to calculate the safe tanning potential of a guest’s face and body, then come up with a bespoke suncare programme. The butler applies the necessary creams to the guest first thing in the morning and reappears at regular intervals throughout the day to reapply. Price: £126 a day.
