Pranburi: Newcomer

 

Pranburi Evason

 The enclave offers superb pool villas and attractive rooms in rich, rustic décor, meeting facilities, trendy restaurants and even its own wine-tasting cellar, plus lots of water sports activities. For those who don’t really want to get away from it all, the resort has daily shuttles to Hua Hin and excursions to nearby Three Hundred Peaks (Sam Roy Yod) National Park, a fascinating coastal sanctuary for water birds which is riddled with caves, hidden beaches and interesting treks.

Next door, Six Senses Resorts are putting the finishing touches to the even more exclusive Evason Hideaway in a super-luxury Thai village setting with its own delicious spa.

Evason has started a trend in Pranburi.

Further down its delightfully deserted beach, a number of tiny boutique resorts have opened right next to the sand, offering luxury in small doses.

There’s the 12-room Aleenta with a splendid rooftop spa and the cloistered 14-room Praseban Resort, ideal as a romantic getaway for couples and honeymooners.
