Set in the sleepy beach town of Cha-Am, Alila combines a sense of isolation with the haute style for which the Alila group has become known. This jewel-like property, resembling a gigantic set of Legoes straddling an avenue of water, seeks to inspire awe in the visitor – but in an understated way. Consider it “stealth wealth”, in hotel form.
An imposing stairway resembling something out of a Communist mausoleum could be the only bombastic detail you see on the property: gardens stretching toward the ocean are what you get beyond the entrance.
Rooms – Deluxe, Deluxe Terrace and Private Pool Villas – combine high-tech gadgets with lots of light and naturally aged wood.??Dining options give you your choice of eating poolside at Motion or on the rooftop, courtesy of Clouds Loft. And next to the generous pool lies The Red, an afternoon tea spot that turns into a bar at night.
Alila Cha-Am lies on the premier beach resort of Petchaburi on the sunrise side of the Gulf of Thailand, 163 km south of Bangkok and 26 km north of Hua Hin. The landscape here is characterised by dense jungles and mountain ranges. A leisurely drive from Bangkok takes about 2.5 hours.
Once a fishing village, Cha-Am offers a laidback pace of life, and a more tranquil atmosphere than neighbouring Hua Hin beach. Its main appeal is its clean, white sand beach, which is thought to be the longest in Thailand, and which is where you will find a choice of excellent seafood restaurants
