Alila Cha-Am

A sophisticated and contemporary boutique hotel

Alila Cha-Am is a sophisticated boutique hotel that combines contemporary design and luxury. Located on the edge of a lovely beach near Hua Hin, on the northwest coast of the Gulf of Thailand, it is only 2h30 away from Bangkok.

Simple, pure and zen, each of the 79 rooms invite you to relax with essential comfort and the most attentive service. Alila Cha-Am is a true design and luxury sanctuary that offers an unconventional experience perfectly suited for friends or lovers.

Luxury and design is the only motto!

Styleded by the renowned Thai designer, Duangrit Bunnag, the Alila Cha-Am has a very chic design. Architectural perspective, long pure lines, refined decoration, natural raw materials, minimalist style ... this is the signature of Alila Cha-Am. The out of the ordinary lobby, the single colored outdoor pools, etc… the hotel’s unique sophisticated style is reflected in the smallest details and even in your breakfast plate!

The rooms and villas at Alila Cha-Am offer great privacy. The floors and walls are made of smooth polished concrete and are accented with dark wood. The simple lines and colors of the furniture are reminiscent of Scandinavian design. The rooms feature state-of-the-art Bose surround stereo as well as Apple TV and sound system. The bathrooms feature a very comfortable huge bathtub, and appliances are integrated with decorative elements. You will love the “rain” showers where water flows from the ceiling transforming any daily shower into a truly special moment!

There are 3 types of rooms:

• The Horizon rooms are a fusion of modern and ancient Thai design;
• The Garden Terrace rooms are very luxurious and comfortable and feature a private landscaped terrace;
• The Pool Villas feature a very private garden, a terrace, and a private pool.

Experience dining under the stars in Alila’s Cabanas

Located right on the beach, the Alila Cabanas transform at night into a fabulous table for a romantic dinner under the stars. Your personal butler will take care of your every desire to make your evening unforgettable. We recommend the "signature" Thai dinner that showcases Thai cuisine modernized by the chef.
