Retreat With DistinctionAnantara Resort Hua Hin Provides a Perfect GetawayThe Anantara Resort in Hua Hin is no secret to many Bangkok residents, whohave already discovered how easy it is to escape from the daily grind byretreating within the confines of the Thai village style property for a day ortwo of rest and relaxation.
Many tourists have also realized that the retreat is a perfect place to lock
yourself away from the world and just relax. With everything youneed right there within the compound many people rarely evenventure out into the nearby town.
The resort even offers a retreat within a retreat, with privatefacilities reserved just for the wealthy and famous.
Page 24 www.bangkokscene.com
Many a celebrity has chosen to spend some time here over the years.
Sitting directly on the beachfront, Anantara Resort Hua Hin sitsamong lush gardens with lakes, pools and waterfalls at every turn.
Guests can relax in the friendly waters of the Gulf of Thailand, besidethe gigantic swimming pool, on benches and covered sofas in thegarden area and within their own four walls in the well appointedluxury suites. The resort makes for a perfect romantic getaway.
Other facilities include tennis courts, a cookery school, gym facilities,three restaurants, a spa and a cocktail lounge. There are bicycles forhire for the more energetic, although a shuttle bus runs back and forthto the nearby town of Hua Hin from early afternoon until late evening.
Golf courses are within easy reach, as are elephant trekking paths.
There are 187 rooms and suites at the resort, but vacancies are rarelyfound at weekends, even in low season. Three or four day stays duringthe week can be booked with more certainty, however, as Bangkokresidents head back to meet work commitments.
One guest who is always present and is provided free accommodation365 days a year is Alex, the talking parrot who charms kids and parentsalike from his perch close to the Issara Café.
