Putahracsa Resort

Overview

Self-care days are out - we're upgrading to a self-care week right here, at this hotel. Here you can spend your time dipping between the three super-chilled pools (in vibes, not temp), chomping down on crispy spring rolls and homemade ice cream (major drool) at the beachfront restaurant, and hitting the spa for a well-earned facial. You can even get your zen on with a beachside yoga or meditation sesh, and if you fancy getting out and about then the hotel runs its own one-way Tuk Tuk services to whisk you off to some of Hua Hin's most iconic attractions in a jiffy.

Food & Drink

• Oceanside Beach Club & Restaurant - no prizes for guessing where abouts this restaurant is located... it's perched right by the sea, serving an absolute delish menu at lunch and dinner - from chicken satay to lobster salad and seafood marinara

• Ob-Oon Boulangerie & Patisserie - start the day with a modern breakfast buffet in this greenhouse-style restaurant specialising in freshly-baked bread and pastries, or stop by for a pizza or sandwich at lunch

• Beachside BBQ - if you're feeling really boujee, you can book in for a private dinner along the sand, consisting of a BBQ cooked right before your eyes by your own chef. We did say it was boujee.

Sports & Entertainment

• Outdoor pool - there are multiple dotted around the resort, so whichever accommodation type you're staying in, you'll never be far from a dip

• Beachfront yoga and meditation - rise early and start the day with some light yoga and breathwork right by the ocean

• Cooking classes - if you're not quite ready to say goodbye to all those delish Thai flavours, book yourself in for a cooking class with one of the hotel chefs so you can impress all your friends back at home with a Thai banquet. Congratulations, you just won at dinner parties.

• Spa - decked out with all the comfy seats and the dim lighting that sends you to sleep and a menu of massage and beauty treatments for the ultimate pamper sesh.

• Fitness centre - a proper modern gym with all the bells and whistles - from cardio equipment to free weights and bookable classes

• Boutique shop - open daily from 8am 'til 6pm, stocked with beauty products and fashion must-haves, as well as some not-so-must-haves, but you'll probably want them anyway.

• Tuk Tuk trips - the hotel offers its own Tuk Tuk transportation system, so getting to all the local attractions is a doddle.
