Brunch at Indigo Pearl is a sparkling affair

Take a superb beachfront hotel in Thailand, throw in Sunday brunch extravaganzas with unlimited Champagne and you have immense party potential.

Luxury resort Indigo Pearl has just re-launched its renowned Sunday brunch, which features surf and turf delights, fine wines and Delamotte bubbly.

The hotel boasts "the Old World and the New World being intertwined with maximum effect".

From noon to 3pm a live band will provide the musical accompaniment to five hours of grazing, lazing and being spoilt by free-flow bubbly.

A triumvirate of venues will be used to stage the buffet brunch, which will include Japanese, BBQ and Thai stations.

At Rebar restaurant guests will enjoy dishes including fresh lobster, foie gras terrine with duck confit, Wagyu beef rump and, for dessert, banana walnut cake.

Rivet eatery will serve dishes like bruschetta with a selection of grilled vegetables, poached blue swimmer crabs and prawns, and chocolate dacquoise.
