Chiva Som is really heaven on earth! From the time you check-in and the manager greets you and takes your picture, to the time you check out, the experience is out of this world! Guest capacity maxes out at 100 so service is exemplary. Every staff knows your name, your eating preference, etc. Best of all is the holistic approach... more

First of all, if you get the chance, make sure you take Chiva Som's chartered flight to Hua Hin instead of the chauffeur-driven car - what a fantastic little plane! Worth every cent, even just for the novelty of hearing the Captain speak to you through a PA when he's only 6 seats away and the cute little goodie bag... more

My mother and I have been to Chiva Som already twice; Our fist stay was during the last week of January 2007. We enjoyed it so much, lost both all the weight we wanted (even more as anticipated) eating delicious food while being pampered by the most wonderful staff and director in a beautiful and very clean surrounding. So we... more

In desperate need of some relaxation, my wife and I decided upon a five night stay at the Chiva Som.

The first disappointment started when we entered our Thai Pavilion room,... more

Truly an amazing place to kick start your holistic healthy regime. The food is superbly prepared and produce is organically raised or grown on the grounds. BUT portions were minute and I was just STARVING all weekend! :) Had to sneak out to the Sofitel down the road for some greasy grub :) :) more

I know there has been mixed reviews, but we still went for this. The stay was amazing. Rooms were comfortable, service was great and never knew that healthy, organic food could taste this great. This is exactly what we were looking for. A healthy holiday, but still feels like a holiday, not a boot camp. I went through so many... more

A friend recommended I try Chiva-Som as I regularly go to health farms in the UK. I was looking for total relaxation, a wide range of spa, fitness and holistic treatments and a friendly atmosphere. The staff here do everything to make you feel welcome and the personal health consultation helped me decide which treatments to book. The room was... more

I stayed at the Chiva-som for 3 nights, on arrival I was greeting by the friendly staff. The experience was amazing; the facilities were excellent, staff very friendly and always willing to help. The ambiance in the whole resort was perfect; beach was clean and felt very safe throughout the day. I travelled alone but never found myself feeling bored... more
