The pre-existing Active Zone has also received a comprehensive upgrade and a clever extension outdoors, now boasting advanced recreational and CrossFit equipment. Holidaymakers can look forward to an expanded and dynamic range of physical activities, including the trendy sport of pickleball, paddleball, classic tennis, challenging rock climbing, cycling, and authentic Muay Thai boxing in a dedicated, professional ring.
For its youngest visitors, Anantara Hua Hin has introduced an expansive, brand-new Kids’ Club designed to be a vibrant hive of activity. Spanning both cheerful indoor and outdoor play zones, the facility features multiple learning and activity areas. From a cosy reading nook and a dedicated PlayStation gaming area to an enclosed play kitchen and a fun treehouse complete with a slide, this new facility is expertly designed to captivate and cater to the varied interests of children of all ages. Furthermore, guests can connect with nature at the newly established Mini Farm, which hosts a delightful collection of animals including silky chickens, fish, charming pygmy goats, and majestic peacocks. This interactive space, complemented by a variety of plants, offers families a unique chance to learn, explore, and create lasting memories together.

Finally, pet-loving holidaymakers will be delighted by select rooms designed with dedicated space for their four-legged companions, complemented by a shaded outdoor playground for added comfort and fun for the entire family.
World-Class Culinary Journeys Await
The resort’s primary beachside restaurant has undergone a complete renovation and triumphantly reopened as Sea. Fire. Salt.—the new signature lunch and dinner venue. This restaurant specializes in the distinctive art of Himalayan salt brick cooking. Guests can anticipate prime cuts and fresh seafood seared to perfection using a technique that heats pure salt blocks to 200 degrees Celsius, infusing the dishes with subtle, mineral-rich flavours while significantly enhancing their natural taste. Internally, the breezy venue is intelligently divided between a more formal dining area on the ground floor and a relaxed, casual terrace on the upper deck, shaded by chic parasols and swaying palm trees.
Concurrently, the resort proudly presents the renovated Rim Nam, continuing to serve authentic, exquisite Thai cuisine in an elegant setting that celebrates the country’s rich culinary heritage. Guests can also begin their day at Issara Café, the resort’s stylish breakfast venue, widely celebrated as one of the best in Hua Hin for its vibrant selection and inviting, airy atmosphere. Together, these dramatically refreshed dining destinations are fully ready to welcome guests with a continuous stream of memorable gastronomic experiences from the first light of morning until late at night. The sheer scope of this renovation, touching every aspect of the guest experience, signals a powerful commitment by Anantara to the Hua Hin market and its own luxury pedigree. The investment not only modernizes the property but also strategically positions it for decades of continued success and serves as a significant, positive catalyst for the entire region’s hospitality sector.
This ambitious, head-to-toe makeover of Anantara Hua Hin Resort stands as a powerful statement, reinforcing the brand’s origins and its unwavering dedication to delivering world-class, culturally rich Thai hospitality. The strategic upgrades, from the innovative dining experiences and expansive family facilities to the sophisticated new room designs, solidify the resort’s standing as a premier, must-visit destination. The seamless blend of traditional Thai aesthetics with modern luxury ensures the resort is perfectly poised to capture the next generation of discerning luxury travellers while honoring its historic legacy.
