The owner of this beautiful Putahracsa Hua Hin boutique resort, Velvadi Sritrairatana, is R’s buddy from university a long time ago (I won’t say how long). She inherited this property from her grandmother, Khun Ying Supatra Singholaka, who served in the Royal Court of His Magesty, King Rama VI. Velvadi transformed the land into a very unique resort that was designed by her interior designer husband Viboon Techakalayatum. And boy did they do a magnificent job. Opened in October 2006, this is not your typical multiple-story hotel chain. Spread over two areas, one houses the main lobby area, pool, the Sala Monsoon restaurant, Day Spa, SilkSand Rooms and SanSky Villas. The rooms spans only two stories and are located around the poolside, forming a very relaxing atmosphere.
A hop across the street is where we stayed – in one of the Oceanbed Villas with our own hot tub and private pool. The room uses plenty of wood and bamboo to emphasize the natural surroundings. And you won’t find a work desk in the room either. It is a resort after all and as Viboon said, this is a place for relaxation and not for business (or at least minimal business).
Also on this side is an infinity pool and the Oceanside restaurant right next to the public beach. We had lunch there and the cool sea breeze matched with the expansive ocean view made for a very relaxing afternoon. A glass of Sauvingon Blanc and…ah, Heaven.
The staff were also very helpful and attentive. Prior to our arrival, they recommended golf at Black Mountain Golf Club and Banyan Golf Club, arranged all the tee times as well as the transportation. Both courses were excellent and only within 30 minutes from the resort. Back at the resort, the Day Spa provided many more hours of relaxation bliss.
If you enjoy the uniqueness of boutique hotels and don’t want to stay in a “cookie cutter” style chain hotel, then this is the place for ultimate relaxation.
