John K wrote a review Jan 2023
My 4 night stay was a little too short. 5 or 6 nights would have been better. On checking in I was greeted with 'Welcome back Mr Kidd'. My last visit to Chiva Som was in June 1999. That's impressive and set the tone for the few days I was there. When I visit a 6 star wellness spa and resort I expect the best and when it meets my expectations I consider that is average for the facility. Chiva Som exceeded my expectations. The hotel operations staff were exceptional all round. Nothing was a problem. The wellness team was superb and so much was inlcuded in the basic package with sensible add-ons at sensible prices. Massage, physio, stretching on-on-one plus group sessions for stretch, tai-chi etc, if you fancy it. The adherence to the times selected for a session was like clockwork and your physio or massager would be ready and waiting to greet you. The organisation was perfect - I did not come across a single hitch. In addition it is often the little things that help to make the difference: 1. Easily readable shampoo, conditioner and bath gel containers. No need to fetch ones specs and still struggle to read the small print. 2. Flat room safe in a leg height drawer - opens upwards like a box - so easy to use. 3. Contemporary light switches, aesthetically right yet easy to use. Specs or instructions not needed. 4. Practical and roomy hanging space and drawers. 5. 4 items per day laundry service within the price. 6. Good worktop desk area for laptop - although we're not supposed to be working the truth is many of us have to do some and a good worktop is a godsend. …

My daughter and I spent a week at Chiva Som, it truly is an experience! It was actually my third time but my daughters first. Every time I am blown away by the hospitality of the staff at Chiva Som, we were greeted on arrival by the general manager who gave us a fish show: and welcomed us so warmly. Then every single person from there treated us with such kindness and made us feel so special, you just don’t get this sort of treatment in Australia. Cheewee and Sunny were our wonderful consultants and designed a program for us. The classes were awesome; our favourite instructor had to be NOK her energy and enthusiasm were contagious and she had a smile as wide as the Sydney harbour bridge! But Whanaree was really good too! All the spa treatments were so relaxing, stand out masseur was Ning Nong; she works magic! Even the guy who drive us in the buggy (tall man with a very smiley face) was awesome every time we needed a lift. The cuisine was amazing! You don’t get Thai food like this in Australia! The waitresses so accommodating: I wish I got their names (our favourite was a lady with short hair and glasses). Chiva Som is right on the beach, so you get to eat your meals watching the ocean. And a trip to monkey mountain is a must! And at last but not least thanks to Win for also making us feel so welcome. We truly were pampered and treated like royalty by the Chiva Som family. We definitely will not forget our time here. I feel so blessed that I have been able to experience Chiva Som. Thanks again, Sabina and Laura…

Despite being a fine spa I am afraid it is no longer worth the risk of going . Thailand no longer has any testing g requirements to enter the country . Spas there there are not testing any more . However Chiva Som is still requiring a Covid test on arrival and if positive you will be stuck in your room until you test negative despite having paid hundreds of dollars a night to stay and use the facilities . Covid is NEVER going away so with their logic they can never drop that requirement . My advice is don’t risk it and go eg to the new Raksa spa which is not testing .

From the soothing surroundings to the wellness advisors who help you curate an experience that meets your needs, the seasoned fitness trainers and instructors, the rehabilitation and physiotherapy experts, the therapeutic spa treatments, to the healthy and exceptionally divine cuisine - everyone and everything is designed to support your well being journey.

We spent 2 nights in the villa suite. The accommodation is beyond our expectation especially the very comfortable corridor and sala. We love all the decoration and amenities in the room. The hotel atmosphere and view is excellent. The activity and gym of the wellness is 6 star. I really appreciate the super-stretching. Unfortunately that we have not used spa activity because of the government policy of restriction during COVID-19. The staff service is good and well trained. The quality of the food is good but the taste is not match with us. One down thing that may inhibit us to come back to this resort again is the policy of the hotel that “not allow guest to use mobile phone for send message and email for work outside the bedroom.” We do appreciate and totally agree the policy of the hotel for not taking pictures and speak with the phone in the public area but the policy for not allow sending SMS and LINE for work with our mobile is not match with us and also other THAI guest. So please check with this policy to the resort again before make the booking.…

Escaping to Hua HIn and Chiva Som was the best decision I have made this year, with Thailand suffering at the moment and tourism numbers down, I took a well deserved break and enjoyed an amazing stay at Chiva Som albeit just for one night. But I managed to pack in a wellness assessment, a session on brain cognitive and ageing , a massage along with three exercise classes. This resort has been on my bucket list for a long time and I am so glad I got to experience all that Chiva Som is about. While the resort was quiet, there was no attention to detail left wanting, the staff were exceptional especially at the restaurant. Wandering the lush and tropical gardens felt like a world away from all the chaos that is going on in the world at the moment. However it was the food that stood out with an exceptional six course tasting menu showcasing the very best in healthy cuisine. This could well be the best 24 hours I have spent in a long well, and cant wait to come back and spend at least 3- 4 days to get the best out of the Chiva Som philosophy of mind body and soul.…

Extraordinary place to reenergise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Full board meals were incredibly healthy, free range, sustainable and no plastic! The daily health & wellness group classes were brilliantly personalised in the same way as the meals! Exceptional spa & holistic care, gym, pilates studios, etc. Great company and approachable/friendly staff providing world class service. We returned here for a second stay this year and will certainly come back again.

Checking into Chiva Som has been on the bucket list for a while, once I finally made time for the trip it delivered everything it committed to be:- a highly personalized wellness journey focused on complete lifestyle transformation. For 5 days I was able to fully recharge, reflect and seek out the best solutions for my personal goals. I have been fortunate to visit Health Retreats all over the World and Chiva Som is World Class. Timeless in its design and a very comfortable experience across all touchpoints of the Resort. The menu offering was incredible and reinforced the benefits of eating nutritious and light meals as the foundations of health and wellness. All staff delivered, attentive, personalized service and the experience of all the one on one training was outstanding. Renee Grandi the Clinical Nutritionist & Naturopath was exceptional in her knowledge to create the right health and healing pathways. The Shirobhyanga treatment is a must try! I sincerely can’t wait to return to this haven 3 hours south of Bangkok.…

Everything about Chiva Som is perfect. I was there for a 5 night “Art of Detox”, which is a fasting program, and it was wonderful. On this program they serve you meals but it is just a soup broth. I felt really great by the 3rd and 4th day, much healthier than when I arrived, and now I see great benefit in doing a program like this once to twice per year. I intend to go back to Chiva Som annually. Although I only ate regular food for my first and last meal, the food was very healthy and delicious. They don’t even have unhealthy options available. There is a very extensive range of daily activities like various kinds of yoga, stretching, Tai Chi, etc (much more than I could do in my 5 night stay). Each guest has a health consultant and they consult with you to develop a daily schedule of activities, which for me ended up to be quite full. The facilities are perfect, all with the latest equipment – well-equipped fitness center, steam baths and sauna, extensive massage facilities (by masseurs who are highly trained), flotation tank, etc. All facilities, including the rooms are perfectly maintained. I think it would be impossible to find anything not working at Chiva Som. The quality of the staff is outstanding, and the service quality is incomparable. If you make any kind of request, they get what you are requesting, and it reliably happens. The staff are super friendly. Every customer-facing staff knows who you are and what room you are staying in. The service level is on par with Four Seasons or St. Regis but somehow even better as there are many more customer touchpoints at Chiva Som compared to a typical 5-star hotel or resort. Overall, this is as well managed as a resort can be, and for anyone who wants to spend a week being super healthy, I highly recommend Chiva Som.…
