Chiva-Som Details

Location

Located in the Royal town of Hua Hin within 7 acres of lush gardens.  The Thai Royal Family choose to live in Hua Hin because of the very comfortable climate - not too humid, even during the humid months! Don't be put off by the touristy bars and restaurants of Hua Hin, once you are in the Chiva Som you really are in a haven of peace and serenity. 

Transfer Time -  2.5 hours from Bangkok

Rooms

All 57 rooms are furnished in a typical traditional Thai style using dark wood furniture and have satellite tv and dvd players. There are nice touches like the oil burners with a choice of scents and a choice of pillows and linen.  The Ocean View Rooms have balconies overlooking the pool and sea and the Thai Pavillion Rooms are more private and have terraces overlooking the lake and tropical gardens.  Or you can really splash out and stay in a suite with your own personal butler.

Food

Fantastic award winning spa cuisine with fat content, calorie & carb counts on all menus and buffets. Detoxifying, fat and salt free using organic produce from the Chiva Som gardens and as delicious as it is good for you.  The secret lies in the creative approach of Chiva-Som’s master chef, who cleverly combines Thai and Western cuisine.  You can have all your meals at  Emerald Dining Room or a vegetarian lunch or Thai cuisine dinner at the Taste of Siam restaurant which overlooks the ocean.  If you are travelling solo, you can sit with at sharing tables if you want to socialise with other people over dinner.

Fitness and Daily Activities

On arrival, there is a personal health and wellness consultation with a qualified natural health practitioner, to determine the best treatments and activities to achieve your desired goal. The options range from Western inspired aqua aerobics, water sports, gym work-outs, Pilates and beach activities, to the time-honored Eastern techniques of yoga, tai-chi and Thai boxing. An alternative path is the holistic approach. Chiva-Som provides a comprehensive choice of therapies. Meditation, stress management, mind-training, and other programs unique to Chiva-Som, can help you to reach a perfect balance of mind and body.
