Selling Chiva-Som Hua Hin to your clients
Chiva-Som is for clients who are travelling for the programme itself, not for a beach holiday with a spa attached: detox, weight management, fitness, recovery or a digital reset. Brief them before booking on the minimum three-night stay, the age limit of 14, the device-free public areas and the evening-only wine and champagne, so they arrive expecting a retreat.
Because transport is not included, build the road transfer from Bangkok into the file; our Thailand DMC transfer team can arrange it. Chiva-Som also works as the wellness leg after a city stay — see our wellness tourism services, the Hua Hin destination guide and the other Explera partner hotels.
Send your dates, room types and number of guests. The Explera trade desk replies with special rates and availability, usually within 24 hours.
