  For centuries kings came to rest and revive in Hua Hin, the beachside location of Chiva-Som, whose name means 'Haven of Life.' When Chiva-Som opened in 1995, it was one of the first destination spas in Asia. The spa, whose services and architecture merge Eastern and Western influences, has a worldwide reputation. Guests come to sample a full range of beauty, medical, and wellness treatments from the extensive spa menu. The more than l50 choices range from Ayurveda to acupressure to Thai massage and are offered by a staff of 85 estheticians, medical doctors, complementary health providers, nutritionists, and personal fitness trainers.

  The opulence of the spa menu is complemented by Chiva-Som's superb service, which reflects warm Thai hospitality, and its stunning locale. The spa is located on seven lush, tropical acres near the Gulf of Siam and is only two and a half hours south of Bangkok. With a staff-to-guest ratio of four to one, Chiva-Som attracts travelers from throughout the world who are seeking the ultimate in luxury, pampering, and healthy living.

Services View Treatments Menu

Chiva-Som blends an Eastern sensitivity to balance and wellness with modern, Western treatments. Every visit begins with a consultation, during which guests are given a customized health plan and are encouraged to enjoy restorative rituals in the sauna or pools to remedy jet lag. Spa-goers can then choose services a la carte from the holistic, medical, or spa menus or take part in a treatment program designed by the spa's staff. Special retreat programs are available in areas such as fitness, weight management, stress management, detox, and holistic health.

Chiva-Som has stayed true to the original notion of 'spa,' healing through water, and it has an impressive array of wet treatment areas. These include a Watsu pool and bathing pavilion with an exercise pool, plunge pool, a large hydro-Jacuzzi, Kneipp therapy foot bath, and a multilevel steam room. The spa also has separate male and female wet areas with a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and relaxation room. The fitness facilities include a gymnasium, a dance studio, and a Pilates studio. Chiva-Som has a very extensive yoga program; group classes, workshops, and consultations take place in the open-air yoga pavilion and private sessions are held in the yoga sala. The spa also offers a reflexology path and a tai chi pavilion.
