Chiva Som, on the Gulf of Thailand, has been voted the Best Destination Spa in the 2015 Conde Nast Traveler Spa Awards
Best Destination Spa: Chiva Som, Hua Hin, Thailand
On the Gulf of Thailand, 185 kilometres south of Bangkok, this secluded spa is nestled in seven acres of lush tropical gardens. It's beachfront location is as tranquil as it is opulent, with 58 guest rooms housed in traditional Thai pavilions and ocean view rooms and suites.
There are even more treatment rooms - 70 in total - and facilities such as a kinesis studio, gym, watsu pool, flotation pool and kneipp bath.
The spa cuisine uses only organically-grown fruits and vegetables from their very own Chiva-Som garden, offering low-calorie, yet gourmet food, served at either the elegant Emerald Room dining room or outdoors at the Taste of Siam seaside restaurant.
