SO/ Sofitel Hua Hin  

Perched on Cha-Am Beach in Cha-am, this luxury beachfront resort sits about a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok and a short ride to local draws like Santorini Park and Swiss Sheep Farm. A rare 90‑metre private beach gives guests a secluded seaside stretch in the Hua Hin/Cha‑Am corridor. Family-friendly, beachfront and designed for a playful seaside escape.

Choose from 109 rooms, suites and private pool villas in two distinct styles: SO Arty and SO Nature. Bold contemporary architecture and playful artwork by designer Polpat Asavaprapha set the vibe. Rooms feature deep soaking tubs, rainfall showers, flat-screen TVs with Google Chromecast, a cutting‑edge sound system, minibar and private balconies or patios. Rooftop HI‑SO offers panoramic sea views.

Multiple outdoor pools anchor the beachfront scene — including a 60‑metre Signature Pool, the beachfront SO Pool and a tranquil Solarium Pool for adults — plus poolside SO Sundae for cool cocktails and treats. SO/ SPA delivers full‑service wellness and massages, while SO/FIT keeps workouts covered. There’s a multi‑kilometre cycling track with rentals, a Wibit adventure float, an 18‑hole SO Wonderland Adventure Golf and a Kids Tent with activities; many activities and equipment are complimentary for guests.

Event facilities include a conference center and meeting rooms for corporate or social gatherings. Complimentary high‑speed Wi‑Fi and a business/computer station help keep work moving.
