Local Attractions

• Khao Takiab (Chopstick Mountain): Just 2 kilometers south of the resort, this iconic limestone hill is topped with a golden Buddha statue and offers sweeping panoramic views of the Hua Hin coastline. A short, easy hike leads to the summit, where you can watch wild macaques roam and catch stunning sunrises over the gulf.
• Hua Hin Night Market: A 15-minute drive from the resort, this bustling evening market is the best place to sample local street food like grilled seafood and mango sticky rice, shop for handcrafted souvenirs, and soak up authentic Thai night culture.
• Black Mountain Golf Club: Located just 3 kilometers from the resort, this award-winning 18-hole golf course is a favorite among visitors, with rolling fairways, lush tropical landscaping, and clubhouse facilities for a day of leisure.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure ocean-view rooms. The resort offers paid airport transfers from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is a two-and-a-half-hour drive away—booking through the hotel is more reliable than hailing a ride on arrival. Most paid activities can be booked directly through the resort’s concierge desk, which can also arrange day trips to nearby attractions if you want to explore further than central Hua Hin. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing and reef-safe sunscreen for days spent on the beach or out exploring.
