Gold Mineral Spa Treatments, Monk Blessings and In-Villa Yoga at V Villas Hua Hin.

Reminiscent of hillside rice paddies, bounded by verdant walls, each of the twenty-eight villas at V Villas Hua Hin is set within its own piece of paradise – total tranquillity awaits.

Hidden from view, each villa houses a private pool, expansive living areas with roll-top tub and rainfall showers, wine cellar and a secret entrance, exclusively used by the villa’s 24-hour private butler; guests literally never have to leave their villa, until they explore the natural beauty of historic Hua Hin. Tailored in-villa spa treatments use Asian philosophy and ancient Ayurvedic traditions, customisable down to the scents, oils and herbs used. Or, retreat to the resort’s V Spa, where therapists offer traditional Thai massages, beauty and bathing rituals; the most lavish treatments even use gold mineral extracts. For a truly spiritual experience, guided mediation sessions are offered on the beach at sunrise, followed by the magical ‘tak bat’ ritual – offer boiled rice to a local monk, who blesses travellers as he strolls along the stretch of sand.

Those looking to keep fit during their holiday can try a private yoga and Pilates session on the villas sun-dappled deck with a personal trainer, before re-fuelling with a floating pool breakfast, sophisticated high-tea or delicious in-villa barbecue. Unlimited grilled seafood is also served on the pristine beach front daily, including local dishes such as fresh Tiger Prawns and Blue Swimming Crabs, whilst the award-winning Villazzo Restaurant and Bar offers alfresco dining on exotic sunken dining tables surrounded by beautiful reflective ponds.

A must-visit destination in itself, V Villas Hua Hin has direct access to a private stretch of sugar-white sand and can organise a variety of exciting excursions off-property; from a trip to a local vineyard and the magnificent Huay Mongkol Temple, to a street art tour or trekking along the Pala-U Waterfall- one of the largest in Thailand.
