Chiva-Som

Streamlined mindfulness retreats on the coast – now spruced up

Once a noted getaway destination for Bangkokians, the ocean-side resort Hua Hin is now the place where this highly regarded wellness retreat can be found. Chiva-Som’s perhaps unrivalled selection of curated stays places the onus firmly on revival of mind and body: cell relief, the art of detox and tension release are just a few of the streamlined packages delivered by seasoned experts. And with its 54 accommodations sparkling thanks to a recent, Thai-living-inspired makeover – the public areas including the Emerald Room restaurant are upgraded too – Chiva-Som will inevitably sit at the top of anyone’s list of potential regenerative destinations.
