I've been looking for a new Thai destination for a proposed trip later this year. Hua Hin just jumped to the top of the list.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation this week announced the opening of The Barai Hua Hin, marking the debut of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Thailand.
Located on the historic Khao Takiap coastline in Hua Hin, a favourite seaside destination for generations of Thai royalty, the 98-room beachfront resort is designed in the spirit of Sanook (สนุก) - the Thai expression for the joy of living.
Long before the concept of the "wellness retreat" became fashionable, Hua Hin was one.
The destination has been a seaside escape for Siamese nobility since the early 20th century.
Drawing on this legacy, The Barai Hua Hin opened as a spa 20 years ago. It has now expanded into a boutique resort.
“Every stay is designed to unfold at the guest's own rhythm,” says GM Marco Avitabile.
“Our philosophy is rooted in Sanook, the belief that joy, ease and delight should be part of life’s most meaningful moments. Whether guests come for deep rest, movement, spa rituals, culinary discovery or time by the sea, we invite them to experience renewal in a way that feels personal, memorable and entirely their own.”
Guests can also explore the Kui Buri National Park, Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, and Phraya Nakhon Cave in the region.
The resort has 27 suites and a pair of two-bedroom penthouses.
Higher-category suites include butler service, terraces, in-suite rituals and daily massage inclusions.
At the centre of the resort, The Barai Spa takes its name from ancient barays, reservoirs that once sustained daily life in the ancient empire.
Wellness extends to the two-story Wellness Hub which includes a 24-hour fitness studio, yoga studio, holistic zone and wellness shop.
The resort offers two dining destinations led by chef Benn Rowe, whose career spans kitchens across Australia and Thailand.
I've made a note of this one. Small resort, wellness focus, interesting location.
