V Villas Hua Hin

Some 200 kilometres (124 miles) south of Bangkok on Thailand’s west coast, the soft sands of Hua Hin beach unravel like a white ribbon, meeting the calm turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand. This is where you’ll find V Villas Hua Hin, a tranquil retreat with 28 private pool villas.

Each villa feels delightfully discreet, tucked among manicured tropical gardens. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors allow spacious modern interiors to flow out onto furnished outdoor spaces while bringing in warm sunshine and the gentle sea breeze.

While you spend your days lingering poolside, personal butlers ensure your stay is as seamless as it is unforgettable, whether that’s arranging a rejuvenating in-villa massage or an intimate barbecue beneath the stars on your terrace. You can also learn traditional crafts like batik painting or take part in a tak bat ritual (alms-giving) for a deeper immersion into Thai culture.

From your villa, follow lush garden pathways to the hotel’s infinity swimming pool where you can soak up uninterrupted views of the Gulf of Thailand. For dining, there’s a gourmet restaurant highlighting a creative fusion of fresh Thai and Italian flavours. The chic café on-site invites you to escape the midday heat after lunch with a decadent afternoon tea experience.
