It’s fitting the palace of a princess is right next door - guests feel like royalty when staying at this venerable beachside resort in Hua Hin. The structure itself is 25 years old, but it still oozes freshness thanks to the ownership’s continued commitment to excellence.
 
Particular attention is paid to the landscaping and design. The ample use of earth tones - right down to each room’s décor - make for a pleasing feeling of environmental respect.

It’s especially evident at the Mandara Spa, an exquisitely laid-out facility featuring elevated walkways, tranquil ponds and treatment rooms that incorporate traditional Thai Wat architectural values. Seven dining venues - catering to all different tastes - round out the singular experience.
