Chiva-Som Hua Hin puts the phones away and the soul first with a three-month reset

If you’ve ever needed a nudge to put the phone down and pick your health up, Chiva-Som Hua Hin has lined up the sort of schedule that leaves excuses at the door.

From October through December 2025 (rolling into New Year’s Day 2026), Chiva-Som Hua Hin is running Retreat & Renew—a no-nonsense, device-off, results-first programme that blends nutrition, movement, ritual and a little celebration for good measure.

The resort’s fine-dining hub unveils Taste of Indochina, a culinary tour that moves from Laos’ spice notes to Vietnam’s garden herbs and Cambodia’s citrus snap. It’s all cooked to the house gospel—wholesome, balanced, health-conscious—proving indulgence and vitality can sit at the same table.

Table for talking: The Communal Table (The Emerald Terrace)

Built sustainably from upcycled coconut husks and set to the soundtrack of the sea, the Communal Table is for conversation, not notifications. Guests share wholesome plates, ditch devices and remember what mealtimes were invented for: people.

October — Guided nutrition & mindfulness

Visiting Consultant: Lucja Maslowska (London)
An expert in medical massage and Chinese medicine, Maslowska leads twice-weekly Guided Nutrition & Lifestyle Sessions to pinpoint imbalances and hard-wire better habits. She also hosts weekly complimentary Breathing Exercises for Wellbeing, dialing down stress and improving the quality of breath. (Both continue into November.)

November — Sustainable wellness

Visiting Consultant: Masa Sugiyama
The holistic beauty specialist returns with her Masa Method®, a gentle cranium-and-facial sculpting approach designed to restore harmony and tone. Complimentary workshops include:

• Anti-Ageing Face & Neck Sculpting Exercise
• Facial Shaping with Posture Correction (better alignment, better contours, better you)

5 November — Loy Krathong
A grateful nod to water and renewal. Admire handcrafted krathongs in the Orchid Lounge, then float your own under moonlight. Expect Thai performances, a candlelit dinner and a traditional pageant to select a modern-day Nang Noppamas to lead the parade.

28 November — Testosterone Thieves
Naturopathic consultant Patience Sangwa unpacks hormonal balance, brain health and mood regulation, spotlighting common blockers to optimal testosterone (for men and women). Complimentary talk.

From 10 November (returns 8 December) — Fall Prevention in Older Adults
Weekly practical strategies to maintain balance and avoid injury, led by the Health & Wellness team.

December — Reflect, reward, reset

Visiting Practitioner: Sreela Nair (complimentary weekly classes)

16 December — Yardsticks for Your Health Measurements

24 December — A Good Cause for a Barbecue
Christmas Eve dinner supporting Rise Up Thailand and the care of displaced children from Myanmar (with carols from the children themselves).

25 December — Christmas Day Brunch
Made-to-order healthy pastas, roast lamb and a light-on-guilt take on festive desserts (yes, including stollen).

31 December — Year-End Renewal & Inner Harmony

• Brain & Body Connection Exercise: Blazepod drills, free weights and machine work that train reflexes, control and focus—because fitness isn’t just quads and calories.
• Tibetan Bowls Sound Bath: holistic therapist Soraya Rodphuang leads a deep, restorative immersion to ease tension and settle the mind.
• New Year’s Eve Celebration — “Fast Forward: A Look into the Future”
  Cocktail reception, healthy-leaning international buffet, DIY scarf painting, live entertainment, turn-down gifts and a midnight champagne toast. There’s even a costume contest with stays and treatments at Chiva-Som Hua Hin on the line.

1 January 2026 — Mindful Beginnings
A beachfront Tak Bat Merit Ceremony to offer alms, followed by an intentions workshop and Functional Mobility (bodyweight + minibands) to open joints and wake under-used muscles for the year ahead.
