Dining

Chiva Som has won a host of awards for its incredible cuisine and you will soon see why. Drawing influences from all over the globe, the dishes are prepared using only the finest ingredients and are naturally low fat and low calorie without comprimising on the taste. The Chefs can cater to vegetarian, gluten free, sugar free and dairy free diets and these options are flagged up on the menus. Guests can choose to dine in either the Emerald Room or a Taste of Siam down the beach.

Facilities:

In addition to all the many spa facilities on offer, there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Yoga, Tai Chi, cookery classes and visits to the local attractions.

Recommendations:

Sam, our spa consultant who stayed at Chiva Som back in 2009, highly recommends going for a bit of extra space in the Thai Pavilion. Her favourite treatment was the classic Thai Massage and a session in the Watsu pool. Another must is purchasing the Chiva Som cookbook so you can enjoy a taste of the incredible cuisine a bit longer!
