SO/ Sofitel Hua Hin

On Cha‑Am’s sand-lined shore, this playful beach resort mixes seaside energy with upscale design. It sits in Cha‑am near Hua Hin, about a 2.5‑hour drive from Bangkok and close to Santorini Park, Swiss Sheep Farm and Mrigadayavan Palace. Family-friendly and beachfront, it’s a easy jump-off for local attractions.

Choose from 109 rooms, suites and a handful of private pool villas across two distinct design themes: nature‑inspired rooms and arty contemporary suites. Rooms feature private balconies or patios, minibars (some complimentary items), deep soaking bathtubs plus rainfall showers, flat‑screen TVs with casting and a high‑quality sound setup. Family rooms are available with kid-friendly sleeping options.

Multiple outdoor pools and a beachfront pool set the tone—one pool hosts a 60‑metre Wibit adventure float while an adults‑only solarium pool offers quiet. There’s a private stretch of sand, a full spa with treatments and massages, and a fitness center next door. Kids get a Kids Tent and organised activities, while guests can use a 3.5 km cycling track, an 18‑hole adventure golf course and a range of complimentary sports equipment and programs.

Event facilities include a conference center and meeting rooms. Stay connected with complimentary high‑speed Wi‑Fi and a business station. Limo/town‑car service, round‑trip airport shuttle (surcharge) and free valet parking are available.

On‑site restaurants serve Thai and international dishes, with an open‑air beachfront restaurant offering Western‑influenced recipes and cocktails. A panoramic rooftop bar pours sea‑view drinks, while poolside and beach bars keep things casual. There’s also a coffee shop, 24‑hour room service and a daily buffet breakfast (fee applies).
