CHIVA-SOM, HUA HIN,
THAILAND
www.chivasom.com/hua-hin
One of the original holistic health and wellness
retreats in Asia (a pioneering venture when it
launched back in 1995), Chiva-Som has earned its
sterling reputation as one of the world’s leading
wellness resorts.
Perched on the spectacular Gulf of Thailand,
Chiva-Som is about learning to live, enjoy and
appreciate every moment, and in so doing
creating a personal path to health and wellness.
The beachfront resort’s program brings together
Western diagnostic skills and Eastern philosophies
to revitalise the mind, body and spirit.
You’ll start by selecting a Chiva-Som retreat that
best aligns with your motivations and then your
personal Health & Wellness Advisor will tailor a
bespoke program that addresses all facets of the
mind and body.
All of the resort facilities, including the luxury
accommodations, are specifically designed
to complement the healing and restorative
properties of the retreats, treatments and
evidence-based wellness cuisine.
Chiva-Som has recently launched four new
retreats to support the ‘new normal’ lifestyles.
Recognising and proactively addressing guests’
changing needs, the innovative programs enhance
the resort’s already comprehensive retreat
offerings, focusing on specific objectives from
supporting the immune system and gut health to
embracing nature and ageing gracefully.
According to Conde Naste Traveller: ‘The
offering is almost overwhelming, knocking
on more than 150 different treatments, from
traditional Thai and Ayurvedic modalities and
chakra balancing to naturopathic consultations.
Then there’s the perhaps surprising aestheticbeauty
department, plus serious remedial
physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and the
most prolific, high-profile roll-call of visiting
therapists imaginable.’
No wonder David and Victoria Beckham, Kate
Moss and Elle Macpherson have made numerous
pilgrimages to this slice of heaven.
