Chiva-Som is a
luxury health resort, combining international standards with
Thai values and beliefs to deliver personal wellness
programs in a positive, non regimented way. Everything we do
focuses on a holistic approach to health that incorporates
mind, body and spirit.
Our philosophy is to provide a basis for life long health
through individualized programs in an environment combining
treatments, food and education. Chiva-Som provides the
support to put all guests on a path to greater health and
vitality. We understand that health to one person means
something very different to another, which is why we value
the personal approach.
To achieve a personally designed program, every guest, on
arrival, is assigned a Health & Wellness advisor (a
qualified natural health practitioner) who spends time
planning the best personal program combining classes,
lectures and treatments, and advice on the best choice of
Chiva-Som spa food. The passion of our advisors is to guide
each guest on their unique journey to long lasting wellness.
Every element of Chiva-Som is a blend of the world’s best:
from the architecture combining Southeast Asian and Western
designs through to ensuring that guests experience the
highest level of Thai hospitality in an environment where
reliability and precision are the heart of our service
delivery.
Your Health
& Wellness consultation is designed around your goals and
objectives, your current state of health and ability to
achieve those goals. Your H&W advisor will help you achieve
the most out of your stay by devising a personal program of
treatments and services that will assist you to improve your
health, and continue that improvement once you leave
Chiva-Som.
As a general guideline we suggest you try all areas at the
pace that you feel is right for you, and explore the
benefits that will accrue from a balanced lifestyle. Areas
to pay attention to are diet, exercise, activity, rest and
relaxation, physical ailments, emotional issues and your
inner self. By Focusing on weaker areas can bring benefits
in other areas as your understanding, care, attention and
balance increase.
Why not try these minute long meditations for busy people to
start on your way to ultimate relaxation?
With just 57 stylish rooms,

Menu. Your culinary senses will be treated when you check in
to Chiva-Som.
Our concept is to provide healthy cuisine but with so many
flavours you will never notice it's good for you! We will
introduce you to the freshest produce delicately mixed with
fresh herbs and spices to create flavours that will
scintillate the senses and create delicious dining
experiences. Our view of spa cuisine is that the moderation
should be in the ingredients, not the flavor.
Chiva-Som chefs create daily menus to offer the widest range
of dishes to suit a healthy lifestyle while satisfying your
appetite. We include the juiciest steaks, the tastiest lamb,
the softest chicken, the most delicate fish and the freshest
vegetables combined with local herbs and spices to produce
great tasting dishes.
Our philosophy is that our guests should take away not just
a memory but also an experience which is why all of our
dishes can be made at home using ingredients that can be
purchased anywhere. We offer spa cooking classes and the
Chiva-Som cookbook where the secrets of a healthy diet can
be learned and applied at home
