CHIVA-SOM, THAILAND

The lowdown
Call it the Selfridges of spas. Year in, year out, Chiva-Som remains a destination with something
for everyone, the go-to weight-losscentre/medi-spa/comprehensive wellness retreat/health resort
in the sun that is safe to recommend to absolutely anyone. Anyone with the wherewithal to check
in for a week at least, anyway. A stay here is all about success and results, and you can’t expect
that in any less time. But for everyone from out-of-control oligarchs and burnt-out City strivers
to fed-up flabbies and the weepy and weary, this fabulous and much-loved favourite just keeps
delivering. It was pioneering and purist when it opened in 1995, and the key to its success has
been its relentless evolution.
More relaxed these days, it keeps on top of every trend. Tecar massage therapy for muscular
regeneration? As standard. A Winback machine to accelerate the work Tecar does? You’re
booked in straight after. And if you’re of an age where a little filler or tiny tweak appeals, then
that’s on offer too. Cosmetic enhancement and non-invasive facial improvements, Botox and
laser treatments – inconceivable at the launch – are now very much part of the programme.
Think of any therapy or treatment and if its efficacy is proven, Chiva-Som has it on the menu.

The food remains deceptively delicious, startling first-timers with the revelation that yes, really,
one can eat well and not feel hungry while losing weight, and is especially pleasurable when
served at a table with a sea view. In the state-of-the-art gym, tough Thai trainers greet work-out
addicts with a challenging grin. Open-air pavilions for early-morning yoga or late-afternoon
meditation bring mellower guests face-to-face with the sweetest therapists. And all this is on
offer in a permanently breezy beach-side location on the long stretch of sand at Hua Hin. The
brightness of the setting is reflected in the lightness of touch at the top.

While it’s the ability to adapt that has made Chiva-Som such a survivor, there is a downside to
its progression. After years of postponing the room revamp because all 54 were permanently
booked solid, a slow and subtle refurbishment means most have now been updated. Just the
original 16 Thai pavilion rooms at the heart of this seven-acre resort await their transformation.
As this can’t be done without major disruption, the resort is closed – shock horror – between
May and October this year. At least that gives everyone a chance to go quickly while they can –
or start saving for the autumn.
TUBKAAK KRABI
BOUTIQUE RESORT
(POOL VILLA)
http://a49.co.th/Project/Detail/15
The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort is located on a site facing a majestic beach with panoramic views to
distant islands. The rear of the site is adjacent to a large national park, and the mountainside adjacent the
resort is the source of a natural creek that flows through it. As a result of Nature’s provision, the entire site is
lavishly covered with plants and trees. Its beach is further blessed as the result of the natural stream that flows
into it from the valley.

There are 2 phases to the project, both of which were designed by A49. The new part of the resort, adjacent to
the original 2 acre resort complex, further expands the complex by approximately 1.3 acres. Additional
clusters of pool villas and communal facilities, such as a meeting room, restaurant, fitness room and spa are
provided within it.

Again, the villas picturesquely blend the indoors and outdoors. The internal space was deliberately built to be
in harmony with the existing topography and environment, whilst guest privacy is maintained within
landscaped walls and internal garden space where guests can even enjoy undisturbed showers outdoors.

Unlike the first phase, the client wanted a honeymoon destination that gave extra privacy. As with the first
phase, the design focuses on making the buildings as integrated to their natural surrounding as much as
possible, including the retention of ancient trees. It includes pool villa accommodation, as well as a common
swimming pool that has been extended from the first phase. This gently flows through to this second phase
from the natural reservoir that acts as the source and retains water from the mountain behind the resort.

Every single building was tailor-made to blend into its specific location, with common curved edge gables and
the ridgepoles being used to create a unique character of roofs for the Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort. Their
form is inspired by the unique form of traditional “Ko Lae” and “Naga” boats (the Naga is a great serpent
mentioned in Buddhist mythology). Detail elements for bed screens, door locks, etc., were designed in a
tropical vernacular style in keeping with the project’s DNA.
The spa consists of three slender truncated conical structures, all of which are timber clad on their exteriors
and interiors. Inside each, the tapering, high-ceiling space terminates in an oculus that fills the interior with a
soft light. These structures tower above other buildings on site and create a striking silhouette amongst the
distinctive roof forms that define the rest of the property.

easily move on, hence we celebrate them with our design of the seven one bedroom Tent Pool Villas.

Inspired by the Rung-Nok Clan (Nest Clan) who enjoyed an opulent life. Their craving for exclusivity
resulted in the woven tangle of a birds nest design seen on the exteriors of this villa type. This clan was
thought to be more superior in both intellect and creativity and comprised of artists, musicians,
astrologers, philosophers and poets.

They believed that the future could be predicted from astrology. They would bathe under the moonlight
believing that their souls would be replenished, thus the inspiration for these beautiful private pool
villas.

shower and a stand-alone bathtub with a view. The villa size is 185m² including pool and outdoor sun
