Six Senses Hua Hin

Hua Hin, Thailand

Concealed in palm-filled, pond-dotted gardens about 20 miles outside Hua Hin, boutique hotel Six Senses Hua Hin's wooden villas (each with its own personal pool) really are a hideaway – the ideal place to pull out of the fast lane and relax in a back-to-nature mud-hut spa.

Food and drink at Six Senses Hua Hin

• Hotel restaurant

  Both the resort’s restaurants are open-air pavilions with rustic-styled wooden furniture. The open-kitchened Beach Restaurant has a wood-fired pizza oven and serves Mediterranean classics; the cuisine in the Living Room has more of a Thai tang.

• Dress code

  Floaty whites linens and debonair deck shoes.

• Top table

  For the best sea view, head for the cosy sofa-chairs in the northeast corner of the Beach Restaurant. Alternatively, arrange to dine in a sunken sala, amid the serenity of the lotus pond.

• Last orders

  Both eateries close at 10.30pm.

• Room service

  You can order food and drink in-villa 24 hours a day. A chef will even prepare a barbecue on your terrace in the early hours if you fancy a midnight feast.

• Hotel bar

  Set along one side of the Living Room, the bar combines rustic wooden looks with a flash of the cosmopolitan – stool cushions in striking cerise hues and a mean mojito.
