Luxury Travel Advisor - September 2007 - (Page 48) SPAS Destination Spas For a truly blissful retreat, send clients to unwind at one of these top spas. BY DEBBIE STRONG Thailand’s Chiva-Som (www. chivasom.com), which means “Haven of Life” in Thai, is an ultra-private enclave on the exotic tropical beaches of Hua Hin resort. With just 57 secluded rooms and suites and a strict no-camera policy, the resort is ideal for clients seeking a true escape. In fact, Chiva-Som often hosts A-list celebrities (we can’t reveal who) and their families who want to “get away from it all,” including the paparazzi. Your clients will first be impressed with the amount of personal attention they’ll receive. Upon arrival, every guest gets a consultation with the staff to determine what they’d like to achieve—physically and spiritually—while at the spa, and itineraries are then created specifically for their needs. Spa Director Wanna Homsaneur (wanna.h@chivasom. com; 66-32-536-536) can provide details on the Asian-inspired CHIVA-SOM’S GUEST SUITES (top right) feature understated elegance and simple furnishings. The indoor pool (shown here) is one of several hydrotherapy areas. 48 LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR | September 2007 http://www.chivasom.com http://www.chivasom.com
