In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- All the rooms are decorated in soothing, stylish beige and white. On the reception side, the 36 Silksand Rooms surround the pool on three sides and two levels, so you can choose ground floor or first floor, and morning sun or afternoon sun. All have cushion-laden round rattan armchairs and cushioned seating on their outdoor terraces. On the ocean side, eight two-floor Sansky Villas offer more space for families, and share their own pool; if you’re after a private waterhole and alfresco Jacuzzi, not to mention a private butler, choose one of the Oceanbed Pool Villas – the luxiest and roomiest is La Canna Pool Villa.
- Packing tips
- A sunhat for snoozing beneath, and something heavyweight to read – it’s so calm here that Hegelian dialectic reads like chick lit.

A glittering white oasis in the centre of Hua Hin – a renowned retreat for Bangkok's well-garbed, well-heeled crowd – this welcoming boutique retreat is a stylish and snazzy reinvention of Sixties motel architecture that attracts beautiful people (and beautiful people-watchers) to its languid, laid-back lifestyle.
