Our View
It is health, health, health without being like a boot camp.
Think relaxing massages rather than exhausting gym sessions,
think exotic mocktails rather than calorific alcohol. It helps to
stay for at least a week to really reap the rewards of your
treatments - be they for weight loss, relaxation, detoxing, or
improved fitness. To uphold the general ambience of the
retreat the hotel operates a general 'no mobile phones' policy, but
assigns a designated area at the far point of the resort for
anyone who needs to keep in touch with family and friends
or god forbid, work!
Hotel Description
Indulgence and health don't always go hand in hand, but at the
Chiva-Som it is all about mixing the two in the most luxurious
of ways. Located in a secluded part of the royal city of Hua Hin,
the beachfront retreat is a lesson in all that is relaxation
and revitalisation. Set within seven acres of sumptuous tropical
gardens, the location is the stuff dreams are made of.
The stylish suites and heavenly spas offer a perfect respite and
stunning panorama of the Gulf of Thailand. As well as sublime
therapies and holistic treatments, the cuisine at Chiva-Som is out
of this world. Specialising in everything organic and freshly
picked from the retreat's gardens, you are guaranteed food
that is good for both body and soul.
The incomparable Thai hospitality ensures your every whim is
tended to and with 120 treatments on offer, you will be spoilt
for choice. The unique approach to health combines ancient
therapies of the East with the latest Western techniques to treat
the mind, body and spirit. After all, Chiva-Som means the 'Haven of
Life' and it is that spirit that the hotel brings to the fore.
