Hotel de la Paix

Hua Hin

LEISURE FACILITIES

Spa CabanaThe Hotel de la Paix's Indochine Spa is rightly considered one of the region's finest and provides a full range of facial and body treatments, including therapeutic massages, detoxifying scrubs and hot herbal compresses. The wife of this writer, who is certainly no stranger to Southeast Asian resort spas, declared her therapist the most thoughtful she'd ever encountered and compared the experience favourably to the spas found at Bangkok's internationally-branded upscale hotels. Massages can also be arranged in the hotel's beachside cabanas.

While the stretch of beach that the hotel abuts is pleasant, most guests head to one of the hotel's two pools to lounge under the sun. Sensibly, especially given the nature of the clientele that the hotel attracts, there is a kids-free "Chill" pool as well as an "Active" pool that caters towards families.

Laucala - The Ultimate Bucket List Destination
Ask five golfers why a particular golf course is on their “bucket list” and you will likely get five different answers. Some focus on the architecture of the course. Does each hole offer a unique...
