Chiva-Som
Hua Hin, Thailand

Pioneering Destination Wellness Resort

Chiva-Som is designed to support both restorative downtime and purposeful movement. Seven acres of tropical gardens create a sense of calm throughout the resort, complemented by indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a quiet library and a boutique.

For guests who enjoy staying active, facilities include a fully equipped gym, movement studios and open-air salas, alongside a daily schedule of group classes such as yoga, tai chi, meditation, pranayama, aqua aerobics, Thai boxing and Gyrokinesis. The fitness centre is thoughtfully zoned for functional training, stretching, dance, yoga and reformer Pilates.​

At the centre of the experience is Chiva-Som’s Health & Wellness Centre, with over 70 treatment rooms, restful lounge areas, and hydrotherapy facilities designed to support recovery and relaxation.

​

​Chiva-Som also offers a dedicated physiotherapy environment with specialist equipment supporting rehabilitation and movement optimisation, including Neurac® and isokinetic training.

​

Guests may experience flotation therapy, jet blitz showers, and aquatic bodywork in the Watsu pool, or spend time in the Bathing Pavilion with its sauna, steam room, Kneipp walk, Jacuzzi, and cold plunge pool.

The balance of traditional therapies and modern facilities allows each programme to be shaped around individual needs, with care that feels structured and considered, rather than one-size-fits-all.

Nutrition is an essential part of Chiva-Som's approach to wellbeing. Menus are designed to balance flavour and nourishment, using organic produce grown in the resort's gardens alongside locally sourced ingredients. Meals are tailored to support different goals, from detox and weight management to healthy ageing and vitality, while remaining enjoyable and satisfying.

Guests can dine at:

​

The Emerald Room serves Western cuisine as well as the wellness-recipe Chiva-Som Siam Steamboat and a pescatarian menu in a formal fine dining setting overlooking the ocean.

​

Taste of Siam offers Thai cuisine in a more casual yet refined beachfront setting.

Orchid Lounge serves a light afternoon tea with herbal loose-leaf teas and a sweet of the day.

In public areas, Chiva-Som encourages guests to take a break from mobile phones, supporting a quieter and more mindful atmosphere throughout the resort. This simple approach helps many guests settle more quickly into rest, routine and reflection.

• A peaceful beachfront setting in Hua Hin, where tropical gardens and the Gulf of Thailand create a naturally calming backdrop.

• A sense of care and attention to detail that helps the benefits of a stay feel sustainable long after returning home.

• Exceptional holistic depth with over 200 treatments and tailored activities offering transformation beyond the stay

Chiva-Som Health Resort is best suited to guests who are looking for a structured, health-focused wellness retreat, supported by expert guidance in a calm and restorative setting.​

​

It is particularly well suited to:

• Guests seeking a comprehensive wellness or health reset, with personalised programmes that address physical, emotional and lifestyle factors

• Those interested in integrative wellness, combining medical assessment, nutrition, movement, physiotherapy and holistic therapies

• Guests experiencing stress, fatigue or imbalance, who would benefit from a slower pace and professional support

• Solo travellers, who value privacy alongside gentle opportunities for connection through shared classes and communal spaces

• Guests willing to commit time to their wellbeing, particularly those considering longer stays for deeper progress and sustainable change
   

Chiva-Som is most appropriate for those who appreciate structure, consistency and expert oversight, and who are open to making thoughtful, long-term adjustments to their health and lifestyle.
