EVASON HIDEAWAY AT HUA HIN

The Evason Hideaway at Hua Hin is actually in Pran Buri, 23 kilometres south of the popular resort town. But it's the distance that separates this boutique property of the Six Senses Resorts and Spas from Hua Hin's weekend crowd. And once you step into any of its secluded villas, you're in a world of your own.

I spent one night at a "pool villa", the type with one bedroom. For those who have company and need a space larger than the 248-square-metre provided by the pool villa, there are three other configurations to choose from: the pool villa suite, the duplex pool villa suite and the two-bedroom pool villa suite. These three come with a living room and more than 370-square-metre of space. From now till October, the rack rates start from 12,750 to 29,030 baht. But they offer special packages from time to time.

But no matter what type or rate, each villa is surrounded by a white mud-brick wall. To make the most of such privacy, guests are provided with a private pool plus an outdoor bathtub.

To sum it up, this is the perfect place for honeymooners. But if you happened to be there alone, like me, at least after watching TV you can enjoy a really deep, deep sleep.
