Hotel details

One of the earliest destination spas globally, this 'Haven of Life' is truly remarkable and ranks among the most exquisite holistic resorts in Asia. It is a breathtaking retreat renowned for its exceptional quality.

Where you are going...

Chiva-Som is located directly alongside the expansive sandy beach of the prestigious royal seaside wellness destination, Hua Hin. This super-deluxe 5-star resort epitomizes authentic Thai style, offering a serene and understated ambiance. The suites and rooms are nestled throughout a breathtaking garden adorned with tropical flowers and plants, with some suites even providing beachfront views. For travelers from Amsterdam, it's approximately a 10-hour flight, followed by an approximate 3-hour drive from Bangkok airport.

Why you’ll love it...

In 1995, Chiva-Som pioneered the concept of a wellness destination, becoming one of the very first in its class. Remarkably, it has consistently maintained its excellent reputation over the years. The hotel continues to uphold its world-class standard, continually earning prestigious awards. If you're seeking to devote exclusive time and attention to your health and well-being, you'll discover an extensive treatment menu. These treatments are administered with utmost dedication and care, in an environment of luxury and tranquility. This is precisely what makes a retreat at Chiva-Som so exceptional.

Wellness, Spa and Health

Chiva-Som stands as a trailblazer in the realm of wellness tourism, and one might even say the concept of retreats found its origin here. With a selection of 12 special retreats to choose from, including detox, weight loss, anti-stress, fitness, and relaxation, guests are presented with a wide array of options. These programs seamlessly integrate traditional eastern techniques with modern western methods. The retreat experience commences with an intake consultation and check-up, during which your preferences and goals are thoughtfully discussed. This information serves as the foundation for determining the most suitable program for you.

The treatments are conducted in the luxurious spa, meticulously designed with an emphasis on detail, offering a serene and spacious environment where you'll receive personalized attention. The wellness center boasts 70 treatment rooms, along with amenities such as a sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room, indoor pool (approximately 80m2), a watsu-pool, relaxation areas, and water beds. There's also a 100m2 gym with personal trainers available for individual guidance and private training sessions. For more specialized needs, such as cosmetic surgery or specific pain management, a medical spa and physiotherapists are also at your disposal.

What’s on the Menu

Chiva-Som boasts two exceptional restaurants to cater to your dining preferences. The Emerald Room at Taste of Siam specializes in serving international dishes that bring together flavors from around the globe, and serves only vegetarian or pescatarian meals. Secondly, Siam by the Beach with picturesque sea views, serves breakfast and lunch buffet-style and an a la carte menu for dinner. Chiva-Som has garnered numerous awards for its gastronomically outstanding cuisine, characterized by a focus on minimal fat and calories. As a result, the food here is not only light, fresh, and healthy but also meticulously prepared with care, ensuring it is incredibly delicious. In addition to the regular menu, there are special options available for guests who are following a weight loss or detox program. The resort also offers choices for guests who prefer dairy-free, gluten-free, or sugar-free dining. For those looking for a refreshing beverage or a delightful cup of tea, the Orchid Lounge awaits, offering a selection of mocktails and tea to enhance your dining experience.

We hebben enorm genoten van een verkwikkende en volle week in Chiva - Som! Alles op deze luxe wellnessbestemming loopt als een goed geoliede machine - moderne faciliteiten, nauwgezette aandacht voor detail en een hoge standaard van uitmuntendheid. Van de rustgevende omgeving tot de wellness-adviseurs die u helpen een ervaring samen te stellen die aan uw eisen voldoet. De ervaren fitnesstrainers en -instructeurs, de revalidatie- en fysiotherapie-experts, de therapeutische spabehandelingen en de gezonde en uitzonderlijk lekkere keuken - alles en iedereen is ontworpen om uw welzijnsreis te ondersteunen. We hebben genoten van de mindfulness-pranayama-sessies, dagelijkse yoga en aqua-aerobicslessen ten zeerste aan. We gingen weg en voelden ons gerevitaliseerd en begrijpen nu echt waarom zoveel gasten regelmatig terugkomen naar Chiva - Som. We missen het nu al!

Chiva Som is meer dan alleen een prachtig wellnessresort. Het is een gezondheidsretraite met personeel dat u begeleidt met zo veel of zo weinig als u wilt. Heerlijk eten. Een transformatief verblijf. Het holistische gezondheidsteam identificeert medische problemen van gasten en knijpt elk laatste greintje negatieve energie uit je in lessen die variëren van fysio tot kinesiologie.

Chiva-Som has the best place to de-stress from the outside world. The staff are trained to be sensitive and makes the bill worth footing. Their medical centre has lots of options if people need various treatments. Health, relaxation, yoga, fitness, facilities, food. Good consultation guidance on the total program.
