DESTINATION · THE LUXURY RETREATS EDIT

The best luxury wellness retreats in Thailand

Hua Hin or Koh Samui: choose between two established destination wellness settings.

Find the right fit.

Chiva-Som in Hua Hin and Kamalaya on Koh Samui offer distinct environments. Compare the style and structure of each programme as carefully as the beachfront or tropical setting. Airport transfers, steps, time-zone changes and rest on arrival all affect the experience.
