Hua Hin has always been the place for an easy weekend getaway for Thais, who come to enjoy the seaside resort’s white-sand beaches, relaxing atmosphere and quaint fisherman-village feel. In recent years, Hua Hin has welcomed a spate of malls, hotels and entertainment complexes, one of which is Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin, a resort hotel within the Vana Nava Hua Hin mixed use complex.
The hotel itself is stunning—vibrant interiors inspired by the sea, a breath-taking infinity pool and a rooftop bar called Vana Nava Sky designed by Ashley Sutton, the genius behind Bangkok cocktail haunts Sing Sing Theater and Iron Fairies. Sure the fact that the rooftop bar walks out to a glass-floor sky deck is pretty cool, but what we really love about this place, is how it offers the best amenities and services for couples with children. Not only does the hotel have a Kids Club, it also has Kid Suites equipped with bunk beds and toys. Did we mention that the hotel directly connects to Vana Nava Water Jungle water park? Hotel guests are given a special wristwatch that they can use to enter the venue, pay for food and services, and to open the doors to their room (so you won’t have to carry around your keycard and worry about it getting wet or lost). Standard room starts from approximately B3,900 per night.
