Holidays in the Water Jungle
Billing itself as a “playcation” destination, Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin hosted its official opening party this month as the first Holiday Inn water park resort in Asia.
With breathtaking views of the glittering Gulf of Thailand, the hotel offers 300 rooms and suites ranging from 39 to 128 square metres. There is also a series of inter-connecting rooms and KidSuites, with special “secret” rooms decked out with bunk beds and play areas.
Children aged 12 and under can stay and eat for free, and all guests are offered free in-room wireless Internet access, late check-out and unlimited access to Vana Nava Hua Hin Water Jungle.
Young visitors will enjoy endless hours of fun at the Water Jungle, which features an amazing array of aquatic attractions including the largest and longest water slides in Thailand. Alternatively, parents can unwind in the resort’s large infinity pool on level 26, Tea Tree Spa and 24-hour fitness centre, while the little ones are kept entertained in the kids’ club and children’s pool.
During the day, guests can enjoy cooling daytime refreshments at the Pool Bar, savour delicious dishes at Plamong Restaurant and drink in stunning sea views at the stylish Vana Nava Sky Bar, Restaurant & Observation Deck, which is set to become a new landmark for visitors to Hua Hin.
Designed by Bangkok-based consultant Ashley Sutton, the mastermind behind some of Asia’s most famous bars, including Maggie Choo’s and Iron Fairies in Bangkok and Ophelia in Hong Kong, this rooftop destination features a dramatic glass-bottomed deck 110 metres above ground, offering some of the most spectacular views of Hua Hin Bay.
With a 950 square-metre flexible event space, the hotel provides five function rooms and the largest ballrooms for outstanding meetings, impressive incentives and memorable weddings.
“We are delighted to welcome guests to Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin,” said general manager Franck Rodriguez.
“With our unique setting at Vana Nava Hua Hin Water jungle and extensive range of facilities, the resort is not just a place to stay – it is a destination in its own right. Our extensive function space also provides a fantastic new option for unforgettable events.”
