Yes, Thailand is very much about beach getaways. While the south is always a prime contender, the west coast of the Andaman sea also has its charm, with quiet beaches and a laid-back vibe. Hua Hin is where you can kick back, breathe in the ocean air and just enjoy the moment.
For a seaside escape with a fun, stylish twist, The Standard Hua Hin delivers in every way. Set on a private stretch of beach, this vibrant resort ditches the usual luxury-for-formality trade-off, offering a fresh take on beachfront relaxation.
The rooms, villas and poolside retreats, bring a cool retro-meets-tropical vibe with bold colours, playful patterns and lush greenery. Stay in a garden villa for extra privacy or go for an ocean-view room to wake up to the sunrise and sea breeze.
For food, Lido keeps things casual with Italian bites by the pool, while The Juice Cafe serves up fresh smoothies and light eats. Praça, the beachfront Thai izakaya, is where cocktails and shared plates set the mood for sundown sessions by the sea.
With an infinity pool, private beach access and a lively social scene, The Standard Hua Hin blends easy going luxury with a playful energy. Lounge by the pool, sip cocktails on the sand or engage in the nearby night market – this place is anything but standard.
