In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- The panoramically endowed Penthouse is an obvious choice, with its rounded bedroom, rooftop lounge and sunken stone tub (perfect for aromatherapy baths); the Ocean View Suite has one too). We also like the bathroom in Frangipani 3; and Palm 5 for its picture-perfect entrance.
- Packing tips
- Bring your own iPod, since the existing choice is limited to a few dozen jazz-crossover tracks.
- Also
- Golf trips can be arranged, as can cookery classes, over in Frangipani. The hotel offers guests a different excursion every day: classic tourist stuff, such as the River Kwai, the floating markets, kayaking, elephant rides and visits to national parks and Phetburi province.
Current offers
- Smith card offer
- A bottle of Aleenta label wine and a gift set from the Galleria Aleenta Luxury collection; members staying five nights will receive a free bottle of champagne; those staying 10 nights will be treated to a three-course meal

Aleenta Hua Hin
Hua Hin, Thailand[view map]
- Style
- Private oceanside hideaway
- Setting
- Secluded Pranburi sands
Sister to the Phuket boutique hotel of the same name, Aleenta Hua Hin is a true hideaway, free from both urban distraction and beach hotel bustle. A short drive south of historic Hua Hin, the small collection of white and wooden villas surround a quirky teacup infinity pool that stretches out above the sand.

Food & drink
- Hotel restaurant
- Aleenta’s simple, colonial-style restaurant serves Thai and Western dishes, with nightly themes, such as pasta, barbecue, etc. The open kitchen is manned by chef Rose; the intimate indoor/outdoor dining room catches sea breezes and the sound of the waves. There’s a small and convenient alfresco restaurant at Frangipani.
