Chiva-Som

Chiva-Som is set in serene and tranquil gardens by the beach in beautiful Hua Hin: this is an idyllic location, whether you are here for blissful relaxation or for kick-starting a new you.

The spacious rooms and suites are simply gorgeous, featuring natural woods, local fine silks, light, neutral colours and all the modern amenities you could ask for, as well as plenty of privacy and seclusion.

Thai pavilions are nestled in the gardens, and oceanfront suites have terraces looking out over the sea, some with private Jacuzzis. Mattresses, pillows, bathroom amenities and even the scent in your oil burner can all be personalised.

The specially-designed cuisine is created from fresh ingredients from the resort’s organic gardens, including fruit, vegetables and herbs. The food is expertly created to combine with your treatments, and is supremely healthy and packed full of nutrients, vitamins and goodness, yet also full of flavour and absolutely delicious. Wake up to tasty breakfasts by the ocean and enjoy barbecues under the stars.

Unsurprisingly, health and wellness is at the core of Chiva-Som, whose expert health practitioners take a holistic approach aimed at restoring and rejuvenating mind, body and spirit, and helping you achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

On offer are signature massages, skin analysis and treatments, physical evaluations, water therapy including steam, sauna and Jacuzzi, and more. There’s a gym for those who want to keep fit, and numerous salas where you can enjoy yoga, Pilates, tai chi and meditation.

There are indoor and outdoor pools to swim in, or simply relax poolside or on the beach. The sloping sands of the beach are also great for swimming, and for something a little different, try your hand at Thai boxing.

Further afield, follow the monks to Khao Takiab (Chopsticks Hill) to admire the impressive Buddha statue and temple, visit royal summer palaces and venture into caves.
