Designed by one of Thailand’s leading architects, Duangrit Bunnag, Alila Cha-Am is a tropical getaway that defies convention. Set in the charming coastal town of Cha-Am, on the north west coast of the Gulf of Thailand, this luxurious beachside resort is designed to be a sophisticated and contemporary lifestyle destination. From the grand entrance stairway to the rooftop reflecting pool, every detail is understated yet unforgettable. The Horizon rooms, Garden Terrace rooms and Pool Villas are conceived as personal retreats – spacious and elegant. Privacy is paramount, with intimate hideaways nestled amid sprawling lawns and azure pools.
Alila Cha-Am truly defines style from fine dining in Clouds Loft to Spa Alila and The Red – a cool hangout by day, hip bar by night. Whether chilling out in private or with company, Alila Cha-Am sets the mood for absolute relaxation.

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.
When it comes to activities, there is much variety, from champagne picnics on the beach to energetic pursuits such as water sports and cycling.Take a tour of the ancient temples and pagodas that dot the surrounding area. Or pay a visit to the summer palace of King Rama VI (Marukhathaiyawan Palace) less than 10 km south of Cha-Am. The hotel is also conveniently close to the Springfield Country Club, the Palm Hills Golf Resort and Cha-Am Forest Park.

The moment you arrive at Alila Cha-Am, you know you are in for an exquisite experience. The magnificent stairway that greets you climbs up to reveal beautifully landscaped gardens, relaxation and reflection pools, and a labyrinth of private terraces and courtyards, stretching towards the ocean in full view beyond.

The innovative architecture features bold shapes and clean lines softened by the palette of naturally-aged woods, limestone and subtle marble finishes. It's a stimulating and sensual combination that gives a distinctive contemporary edge to this tropical resort.

You can almost imagine you have the place to yourself - a feeling created by the clever interconnection of open spaces with private pathways and features designed for intimacy such as custom-designed couples cabanas. Through lighting and landscaping, the mood shifts from season to season, from day to night, creating a totally natural environment that brings all the elements into perfect harmony.
