Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa

Curling through the tropical grounds, the resort's lagoon-shaped pool sets the tone before any room door opens. Garden View rooms face planted courtyards from private balconies. Lagoon Access rooms step straight from the terrace into the pool itself, water at the foot of the bed. Shine Spa occupies its own wing, the resort's first in Thailand under that name, and a fully equipped gym sits alongside two outdoor tennis courts. Dining spans five venues: InAzia serves Pan-Asian food from an open kitchen over the lagoon, The Deck runs all-day international menus on an air-conditioned terrace, Salas offers Italian cooking beside the pool in private pavilions, and Luna Lanai keeps a seafront bar and grill under a tented roof by the Gulf. You can watch the water from Sundara's lounge terrace, wicker chairs shaded under umbrellas. A children's club, StarClub, keeps younger guests occupied in a separate cube-shaped building. Check-in runs from 3pm.
