Anantara Resort Gardens And Spa

An attractive village style design, with clusters of accommodation grouped around the tropical gardens. The location is beachfront, about three miles from the centre of Hua Hin. The journey from Bangkok is about three hours by road.

The 197 rooms are all air conditioned, with en suite bathroom. Each has either balcony or terrace. You have a choice of either garden or sea view. In addition, and particularly recommended are the 38 lagoon facing rooms which are newer, more spacious and extravagantly furnished to a high standard. They are in a quieter, more exclusive, part of the resort.

Resort facilities are extensive and include a selection of specialty restaurants with both European and Asian cuisine, two swimming pools, fitness centre, tennis courts, children's activities club. Regular entertainment. Shuttle service to Hua Hin. The resort has links to several championship golf courses all within a short drive.

It used to be called the Royal Garden Resort and we have used garden in the heading as they are magnificently tropical. Plus the facilities are extensive.
