The perfect weekend getaway to Hua Hin

Upon catching a glimpse of the ocean, you’ll know you’re arriving at the Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, a 5-star resort that’s located in the heart of Hua Hin City Center along the coast. And don’t worry, it’s impossible to miss it because it’s the tallest beachfront building in Hua Hin. 

The resort features 295 spacious rooms, each with a private balcony offering unobstructed sea views over the district of Hua Hin. The clean and modern rooms are equipped with your very own mini bar, king-sized beds, and feature quality amenities such as WiFi and a smart TV. The hotel also has multiple dining venues, a lively beer house, tennis court, a games corner, luxurious spa, 24-hour gym, and a beauty salon where you can get your nails and hair done.

Spend your mornings at the resort’s huge beachfront lagoon pool with an attached water slide, and don’t forget to grab a cocktail or coconut from the in-pool bar. When you’re ready for seaside activities, hop over to the beach using the direct beach access.

Afterwards, treat yourself to a relaxing spa session at Eforea Spa Experience, choosing between indoor and outdoor treatment rooms. In the same area, you can also enjoy pampering services such as haircuts, manicures, gua sha facials, and even eyelash extensions.

If you’re looking to break a sweat and get a workout in, head to the fitness centre on the mezzanine floor for a game of tennis or ping pong. And for explorers who want to venture out and explore the area, we suggest taking a leisurely stroll to discover nearby attractions such as the Jao Mae Tub Tim shrine and viewpoint, the fisherman village and fisherman bridge, Hua Hin temple and clock tower, and Hua Hin railway station – all conveniently situated within walking distance with no more than a 15-minute stroll from the resort.

As night falls, it’s time to immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Hua Hin’s night market. Getting there is just a quick 10-minute walk from the resort. Enjoy local street food like Sai Krok Esan (fried sausage balls), logan juice, Kanom Krok (mini coconut cakes) and pick up some souvenirs like handcrafted necklaces, customisable leather goods and locally made silk scarves.

Breakfast is served buffet style at The Market Restaurant. Choose from a selection of Asian, Thai and Italian dishes and enjoy your meal while taking in the hotel’s lagoon pool just steps away from the ocean. Just before lunch, grab a coffee at the café located behind the check-in counters. Or if you’re up for something more local, opt for the classic Thai iced milk tea instead.

For lunch, head to Chay Had Restaurant and Lounge, an open-air oceanfront restaurant offering authentic Thai dishes. Start your meal with the perfect appetiser – the tuna spicy salad – made with diced tuna slices mixed with roasted ground rice and drizzled with spicy lime dressing. For the main course, opt for the pad thai, a Thai favourite made with thick noodles wok-fried with prawns, bean sprouts, Chinese chives, dried shrimps, egg, sweet turnip and tamarind sauce. Seafood lovers should not miss the pad cha – a spicy dish with stir-fried prawns, mussels, scallops with garlic, chilli, fingerroot and green peppercorn. Lastly, don’t leave without trying the classic mango sticky rice, a dessert that spotlights Thailand’s sweet and juicy mangoes served with sticky rice and topped off with coconut milk.

As the sun sets, dinner awaits at the White Lotus Restaurant, located on the 17th floor of the resort. Here, enjoy Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine while soaking in panoramic views overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. The slow-roasted Peking duck is a must-order. The dish is served in three stages: first, savour the crispy skin with homemade pancakes and spring onions; next, enjoy the meat with your choice of sauce; and finally, finish things off with a flavourful duck soup. Other choices you can’t go wrong with are the Cantonese soy sauce fried noodles and the Hong Kong-style kung pao chicken. Wrap up your meal with banana fritters served alongside coconut ice cream, and for those looking for something light, treat yourself to the black sesame tang yuan served in ginger tea, or the sweet tofu pudding that’s produced from soy almond milk, topped with light brown sugar and ginger syrup.
