Aleenta Resort and Spa, Pranburi

Featuring contemporary accommodation, the hotel is situated directly on Pranburi Beach fringed by the warm waters of the Gulf Of Thailand and lush tropical plantation. This boutique wellness retreat has just ten luxury resort suites, all with private decks and sprawling views of the ocean, some inclusive of plunge pools and roof decks. The resort also houses one private villa with a kitchen, personal chef and housekeeper. All suites feature sunrise sea views, CD players and herbal bathroom amenities. ''Aleenta'' hailing from the ancient Sanskrit word, meaning ''a rewarding life'', for those who get to experience the resort first hand this is very much so the case. Picture the views of unspoiled nature, the tranquil ocean and mountainous backdrop to the west of the resort. Just half and hours drive from Hua Hin, where restaurants and markets are plentiful, the sleepy town of Paniburi is a great way to relax.
