Famed for its stunning landscapes, fresh food and ancient holistic practices, it’s little wonder Thailand has long been the wellness seeker’s destination of choice. Wellness hotels aren’t hard to find, but luxury wellness hotels with a difference are few and far between. Luckily, we’ve rounded up a list of those that are a cut above the rest, so you can get planning an unforgettable break full of rest and rejuvenation. Bustling Bangkok may not feel like the obvious destination for a relaxing retreat, but RAKxa Integrative Wellness nestled alongside the Chao Phraya river is truly a haven where high-tech medicine and ancient wisdom combine for breathtaking results. Other luxury wellness hotel highlights include Koh Samui’s Absolute Sanctuary (which lives up to its namesake) and Amatara Wellness Resort in Phuket for a truly bespoke experience. And finally, the list wouldn’t be complete without Chiva-Som in Hua Hin. Voted ‘Best Destination Spa in the World’ by Condé Nast, the palatial hotel focuses on long-term lifestyle changes; ensuring health and wellness are practices you take with you long after you check out.
Here at Health Travel, we love the Watsu pool at the Chiva-Som resort. This private warm water pool is used specifically for Watsu sessions, designed to relax the mind and body simultaneously.
Our favourite feature is the centuries-old cave used for years as a haven for Buddhist monks. It creates special energy in the resort, helping you to connect with your inner balance and soul.
