Tucked amid seven acres of tropical gardens, this beachfront resort overlooking the Gulf of Thailand uses indigenous herbs, flowers, and oils in its ayurvedic treatments.
Signature Treatment: The Revitalizing Body Cocoon, which starts with an invigorating lemongrass-spice scrub, followed by an aromatherapeutic body wrap to stimulate circulation and calm the senses. (Offered as part of Chiva-Som Spa Packages, starting at $1,650 for 3 days.)
