We are delighted to be introducing Cape Nidhra Hotel to our selection. Wonderfully stylish, totally cool and chic. Romantic, mainly couples focused – children are accepted although apart from the pool section there are no specific facilities.

You can walk into the centre of Hua Hin in about 10 minutes, either along the beach, or the road passing by several alternative dining options. Hua Hin, whilst developing fast, does not have the abundance of raucous night life found in Pattaya and Patong Phuket, so the any activity  tends to be more restaurant than bar influenced. Whilst we might be critical about some of the development in areas of Thailand, we actually think it has improved Hua Hin as there are now many more dining and shopping opportunities. This area is also known as the Golf capital, and there are numerous championship courses within a short drive (no pun intended) of the resort.

An interesting tour would be to go the Hua Hin Vineyard, set in the green hills above the resort, about 45 minutes drive inland. Part of the tour around the estate will be on elephant which is a novel way to explore the grapes. The wine, particularly the Monsoon Valley Red, is good with Thai food.

Note – Hua Hin is a popular retreat for Bangkok Residents, many of whom have holiday homes in the area, so the weekends / public holidays tend to be noticeably busier than mid week days. Transfers can take longer on  the busier days.
