Opened in 1995 on the shore at Hua Hin, Chiva-Som is one of the properties that defined the destination health resort. Stays are built around an individual consultation and a chosen retreat — detox, weight management, fitness, sleep or stress — supported by its own kitchen and a large treatment programme.
It is a health resort rather than a hotel with a spa: the schedule, the food and the therapies are set around the retreat, not the other way round.
