CHIVA-SOM💆‍ Hua Hin International Spa Resort is an industry leader

Modern people lead busy and stressful lives. We can see more and more people around us seeking a moment of tranquility in their free time through yoga, meditation and other classes, giving themselves a healing session. In recent years, health retreat has gradually become a major trend. Many people like to take a short flight to Southeast Asia to regulate their body and mind during long holidays, festivals and even before weddings. However, among the many resorts, which one should we choose? Don't worry, this time we will introduce to you the Chiva-Som International Spa and Wellness Resort in Hua Hin, Thailand, which is the leading and well-known in the wellness industry. In terms of professionalism, variety, science, service, experience, food, environment and hardware, it is the leader in the industry!



Meaning "the paradise of life", Chiva-Som pioneered the concept of retreat 22 years ago. It is the first spa destination in Asia and has been at the top of the industry for many years. It combines Eastern health concepts with Western diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and provides up to 230 fitness, spa, hydrotherapy, yoga, qigong, physical therapy and physical activities. Diversified and comprehensive health facilities and treatments. The quiet and elegant seaside resort villa is located in the lush tropical gardens of Hua Hin, Thailand, about 3 hours drive from Bangkok.

The wellness journey will start from stepping into Chiva-Som - First, Chiva-Som's health consultant will do a simple physical examination and health analysis for the guests, including height, weight and blood pressure, and ask about the health experience and short-term goals that the guests want to get during this visit, so as to help guests choose one of their 13 retreat treatment plans as a health theme. In addition to the traditional treatments such as hydrotherapy, yoga, detox, physical training, etc., Chiva-Som launched 5 new treatment packages last year for people affected by cancer, migraine, stress, high blood pressure and obesity, which are especially suitable for busy urbanites. Friends with uncertain symptoms don’t have to worry, Chiva-Som’s signature treatment package [A Taste of Chiva-Som] includes a number of selected treatments, allowing you to experience the essence of Chiva-Som’s 22-year immortal legend.



If we want to explore the reasons why Chiva-Som is so popular among guests, we must mention its professionalism and experience, and we must not forget the hotel's thoughtful service design. All retreat treatments are charged according to the room type, eliminating the possibility that guests may cancel the program that is not the most ideal and suitable for them due to price issues. The minimum number of nights for the retreat treatment will vary depending on the theme selected. For example, a retreat with the theme of spa enjoyment only requires 3 nights; while a retreat with the purpose of weight loss without rebound requires 14 nights; these are the stay rules truly set according to actual needs.

Take a 3-night stay at [A Taste of Chiva-Som] as an example. The services include one-on-one health consultation, body and fitness analysis, skin consultation, 3 meals of spa health food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, free participation in daily fitness and leisure activities, free use of the spa facilities in the Water Therapy Suites, one treatment of 6 out of 1 every day, and 6 specific optional treatments included in the retreat, from 3 to 11 items, which is very cost-effective. Another thing worth praising is that after staying for a day, if the guests find that the selected retreat theme is not suitable for them, they can switch to another theme on the second day without additional charges, so it doesn’t matter if they make a wrong choice at the beginning!

When the guests leave the hotel, Chiva-Som staff will conduct another physical examination for the guests, so that the guests can see the visible results with their own eyes, and record all the information of this visit in the file as a reference for future follow-up and next visit.

Chiva-Som's 3-night luxury stay including a retreat package and Spa Cuisine starts from THB 54,000 per person, excluding taxes and service charges.

Chiva-Som has completed a comprehensive renovation of all Ocean Rooms and Ocean Suites at the beginning of the year. The new luxury rooms will bring a more comfortable and elegant wellness holiday experience, perfecting its already world-class treatment quality and comfort.



If you think Chiva-Som is not a new hotel and that its Thai-style design means that the facilities are old-fashioned and low-tech, then you are wrong. In addition to traditional spa facilities such as saunas and massage pools, the hotel is also equipped with facilities such as Watsu underwater massage pools, flotation pools, Pilates Studio, Kinesis Studio, a variety of professional physical therapy equipment and even high-tech treatment rooms such as Oxygen Chamber that can control oxygen content! Even the guest rooms are equipped with the latest optical technology and sensor systems, providing a total of 5 light and shadow settings, allowing guests to switch to their favorite lighting effects according to their mood and time. It is definitely not like the old Thai hotels in your impression!



Chiva-Som is also famous for its Spa Cuisine, which is prepared by the hotel's head chef, Chef Paisarn. The hotel believes that healthy eating habits are the basis for longevity, but at the same time, Spa Cuisine does not mean eating only green vegetables, nor does it mean meatless dishes. The restaurant's dishes are all made with the freshest home-grown or local ingredients, and have extremely high requirements for nutrition retention and taste. No wonder many regular customers have said that they return to Chiva-Som for Chef Paisarn's diet therapy.



Guests can take the hotel's cooking methods and cooking concepts home from Chiva-Som's Cooking Lesson, extending good lifestyles and habits to their daily lives outside the hotel, which is also one of Chiva-Som's philosophies.



Chiva-Som has just launched its new Sports Medicine service, where professional naturopathic doctors with comprehensive medical training and a variety of therapeutic equipment will provide guests with first-class sports medicine, athlete-level nutrition consultation, injury management and treatment and rehabilitation programs. Guests can learn how to increase energy, improve physical fitness and manage weight. The hotel will use advanced soft tissue stimulation technology to enhance recovery and increase range of motion.



Another thing that must be mentioned is Chiva-Som’s medical beauty center, Niranda Medi-Spa, which provides a variety of professional beauty services such as Botox injections, etc., taking care of the inner self while protecting the outer appearance! The famous doctor Dr. Thumrong Siripoon has been stationed at Chiva-Som for about half a year, and many customers who cannot make an appointment with a doctor in Bangkok will follow him to Chiva-Som!
