Enjoy a luxurious experience in the lap of nature at the Evason Hideaway & Six Senses Spa at Thailand’s Hua Hin

Luxurious spa soaks and butlers at your service. Al fresco fine dining and beach barbecues. Melting sunsets and exotic cocktails. If these describe your idea of a perfect vacation, the wait is finally over. Evason Hideaway & Six Senses Spa at Hua Hin offers you all this and a lot more.

Located at Pranburi, approximately 30 kilometres south of Hua Hin and 230 kilometres from Bangkok, Evason Hideaway & Six Senses Spa is the perfect getaway for a magnificent holiday. The resort is set amongst 20 acres of beautifully landscaped tropical gardens filled with lotus ponds and waterways, facing the Gulf of Siam. Travelling time by car from Hua Hin town or airport is 30 minutes while it takes approximately three hours from Bangkok.

Hua Hin is a little haven of repose nestled in sylvan environs. The oldest and most traditional Thai resort, this retreat combines the attractions of a contemporary holiday destination with the charm of a still active fishing port. The spot was discovered in the early 1920s by King Rama VII as an ideal vacation spot and the fishing village was turned into the Royal resort. In 1928, King Rama VII built his Klai Kangwon (Far From Worries) Palace which is today an official royal residence. It is still frequently used by members of the regal family and is open to the public for visits. Besides its great five-mile long beach, Hua Hin provides the highest density of world-class golf courses anywhere in Thailand.

Stylish Spaces
Each villa is surrounded by a stone wall and has a private pool allowing you to share some special moments with your loved ones. A personal butler to cater to your every wish is a prime feature of Evason’s services.

Superior Taste
Enjoy delectable dining experiences at the Evason Hideaway. The open-air dining facility set amidst beautiful settings at the villas or restaurants gives you an opportunity to enjoy some romantic moments. Beach barbecues, sunrise breakfasts, beach picnics and sunset cocktails at the crocodile temple – the list is endless. Pick from any of these to make your holiday a truly memorable one.

Chic Living
The Living Room offers an al fresco experience overlooking tranquil lotus ponds. The Balsamic menu is truly a pleasure for the taste buds. Be sure to try the wheat bran and oatmeal pancakes for breakfast. The Jungle chicken curry and the tiger prawns in pepper sauce are personally recommended. The Bar is attached to the Living Room and offers a wide variety of cocktails and spirits with a choice of over 187 wine labels.

Fresh Treats
The open-air Beach Restaurant overlooking the Gulf of Siam provides the freshest selection of local seafood along with all-time favourites like pizza prepared fresh in a traditional wood-fired oven. There’s also an impressive spread of salads.

Toasting the Good Times
The Wine Cellar features an impressive collection of wines and offers the guests a complete dining experience.

A Family Affair
The library with its interesting collection of books also allows you to surf the internet, check your e-mails and catch up with reality. The kids club with its own swimming pool and activities designed to keep the little ones busy and entertained is a boon in disguise. This truly makes Evason Hideaway & Six Senses Spa a destination the entire family can enjoy.

Spa Decadence
Six Senses, the luxuriously appointed spa is adjacent to the beach and is very innovative in design. There are five spas each surrounded by relaxing water pools. It offers a variety of treatments by expert therapists. The most recommended is the Thai massage. Get set for 80 minutes of relaxation and wait for the stress to unknot and disappear. This process targets the pressure points on the meridian line and also includes a scalp massage. Immediately after the process, you are escorted to a seating area and given warm ginger tea to stimulate the body. The entire spa experience is rejuvenating and therapeutic. A definite must at any of the Evason properties.

The Earth Spa by Six Senses is another uniquely decadent experience. It is made from traditional natural materials forming circular domed buildings set over 1,386 meters of water and landscaping. It comprises nine structures that appear to be floating on the pond. Openings at the top of each building provide natural refreshment.

The spa provides specialty treatments focusing on skin food. It adheres to the ideology that nothing should be applied to the skin that can’t be eaten. It also follows philosophies of traditional medicine such as Ayurveda and Chinese. Edibles like rice, coconut, avocado, papaya, lemongrass are freshly harvested and used for the treatment.
A complete holiday experience that keeps you going back for more. Go on, indulge.
