Chiva-Som Luxury Health Resort, Thailand Vacations, Honeymoons and Luxury Travel Packages

Chiva-Som is a luxury health resort, combining international standards with Thai values and beliefs to deliver personal wellness programmes in a positive, non regimented way. Everything we do focuses on a holistic approach to health that incorporates mind, body and spirit.
Our philosophy is to provide a basis for life long health through individualised programmes in an environment combining treatments, food and education. Chiva-Som provides the support to put all guests on a path to greater health and vitality. We understand that health to one person means something very different to another, which is why we value the personal approach.
To achieve a personally designed programme, every guest, on arrival, is assigned a Health & Wellness advisor (a qualified natural health practitioner) who spends time planning the best personal programme combining classes, lectures and treatments, and advice on the best choice of Chiva-Som spa food. The passion of our advisors is to guide each guest on their unique journey to long lasting wellness.
Every element of Chiva-Som is a blend of the world’s best: from the architecture combining Southeast Asian and Western designs through to ensuring that guests experience the highest level of Thai hospitality in an environment where reliability and precision are the heart of our service delivery.
Chiva-Som Resort Accommodations
Chiva-Som rooms offer luxury and comfort with fittings and features providing a perfect balance between Thai architectural beauty and Western standards. From marble bathrooms to Thai sculptures and individual DVD players in each room, your creature comforts are taken care of.
All Ocean View rooms in the main building, renovated in 2005, face the Gulf of Thailand and our outdoor pool. They offer private balconies or terraces for drinking in the fresh sea breeze while creating a relaxing atmosphere for listening to the softly lapping sea.
Experience tranquility in one of the Chiva-Som Thai Pavilions. Nestled around the lake area, they offer a calm, peaceful atmosphere surrounded by beautifully kept gardens. Watch carp glide in the lake from your sala and enjoy that sense of peace that comes from being close to nature. Some Pavilions are lakefront whilst others are more privately located further away in the background. Larger than the Ocean View rooms these are the ideal choice if you prefer more space.
Chiva-Som’s seven suites are in the main building and all overlook the Gulf of Thailand. Choose from Herbal, Fragrance, or Rain Forest Suites. The Herbal and Fragrance Suites, each with separate living rooms, feature much larger outdoor terraces overlooking the sea. These suites offer a larger lounge area and larger outdoor terrace, ideal for couples travelling together. The Rainforest Suites also have separate bath and shower areas, which allows guests to take advantage of Chiva-Som bath treatments in their room. Included in these suites is an adjoining dressing and changing area. These suites can be made into two bedroom suites by combining them with an Ocean View room.
Chiva-Som’s top suite is The Golden Bo Suite. Located in the main building, it has views of the Gulf of Thailand from both the bedroom and living areas. The suite has an extensive entrance lobby which features Thai artifacts and materials. This leads into the lounge area which features an ample sitting area for four people, a stereo system, DVD and television. Double doors lead into the master bedroom where all walls are covered with traditional Thai Silk giving a truly luxurious feel to the furnishings and bedroom. A private bathroom including a Jacuzzi, changing area and dressing table are located off the main bedroom area.
All Chiva-Som suites come with private butler service throughout your stay.
Chiva-Som Resort Dining
Chiva-Som has won many international awards for outstanding spa cuisine, notably SpaFinder Magazine Reader's Choice Award for Best Spa Cuisine and the Spa Asia Crystal Award for Best Spa Cuisine Menu. Your culinary senses will be treated when you check in to Chiva-Som.
Our concept is to provide healthy cuisine but with so many flavours you will never notice it's good for you! We will introduce you to the freshest produce delicately mixed with fresh herbs and spices to create flavours that will scintillate the senses and create delicious dining experiences. Our view of spa cuisine is that the moderation should be in the ingredients, not the flavour.
Chiva-Som chefs create daily menus to offer the widest range of dishes to suit a healthy lifestyle while satisfying your appetite. We include the tenderest steaks, the tastiest lamb, the softest chicken, the most delicate fish and the freshest vegetables combined with local herbs and spices to produce great tasting dishes.
Our philosophy is that our guests should take away not just a memory but also an experience which is why all of our dishes can be made at home using ingredients that can be purchased anywhere. We offer spa cooking classes and the Chiva-Som cookbook where the secrets of a healthy diet can be learned and applied at home.
You can also try Chiva-Som cuisine on board British Airways. Fly first class and sit back and enjoy great cuisine to help you arrive in better shape.
Chiva-Som Resort Spa
Integration of mind, body and spirit is a fundamental part of our philosophy and the very foundation of our Spa treatments. Members of our Spa team are internationally qualified and have broad experience in traditional and advanced Spa therapies. The team is constantly involved in training programmes to enhance your experience with us, and to help educate you in any aspect of our Spa therapies so you can take the knowledge away with you and practice in your everyday life. We work closely with other Health & Wellness departments to ensure that your Spa experience will assist in achieving your goals during your stay. Your journey into Spa begins in our Male or Female Water Therapy Suites. Enjoy cleansing and restorative heat treatments such as sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi or relaxation on one of our heated waterbeds as you sip mineral water or Lemongrass tea. Our Spa attendants will guide you through the facilities of the Water Therapy Suites and assist you in every possible way.
Using these facilities promotes wellness and prepares the body for the treatments ahead, whether a relaxing massage or an invigorating Hydrotherapy treatment.
Our unique blend of traditional and advanced therapies in this tranquil environment is enhanced by the caring nature of our dedicated therapists, who will nurture you through the rejuvenating and healing process to reach true balance of the mind, body and spirit.
Holistic Health
Holistic Health is a key component of Chiva-Som’s Health & Wellness concept. Holistic Health maintains a staff of doctors, nurses, naturopaths and therapists as well as specialist consultants, all of whom have a commitment to providing a holistic approach to your health needs. In this sense, Chiva-Som is one of the pioneers of integrative medicine and continues to develop this as a core function.
Your path begins with a Health & Wellness consultation. Here your health status, short term goals and long term needs are addressed, and appropriate activities are recommended. Whether you require advice on known health problems, choose a detoxification program, want to embark on a preventative health kick or even deal with emotional issues, our Health & Wellness consultants will guide you to the appropriate services and therapists.
Chiva-Som does not consider itself a primary care facility and we don’t promise radical cures, though we have our fair share of success. We do offer to take the time to consider your health carefully and give you informed options and recommend treatments based on the best that modern and complementary medicine have to offer.
Education is a primary function of our Holistic Health team dedicated to teaching you about your health, and showing you how using different treatment strategies can enhance the quality of your life.
Our team believes in communication between therapists who work together to optimize your progress. Our fitness team, physiotherapy team and spa therapists are integral to offering complete care for your mind, body and spirit.
Unique to Chiva-Som is our use of Complementary Diagnostic Techniques. Additional insight is gained into your health through methods such as Iridology, Live Blood Analysis, Bio-terrain testing, and Electro-dermal screening. Issues skipped over by orthodox testing such as toxicity, digestive function, essential fatty acid balances and food intolerances may be identified through these methods.
Finally, we believe in the concept of your health span: your measure of years of good health, vitality and activity. Although its debatable how much we can influence our lifespan, our quest is to assist you in ensuring your health span is as close as possible to your lifespan.
Fitness Retreat
Chiva-Som provides the ultimate exercise experience through innovation and education whilst maintaining the highest standards and safety by advocating the holistic approach. You have as your guide a team of dedicated and committed professionals to ensure that your goals are reached and that you are well equipped for future success. No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you absolutely, positively do have the power to dramatically change the way you look and feel.
