I've been in many SPAs around the world and Chiva Som is my preferred choice. Important: it is not luxury, the rooms are a bit aged, but overall experience unparalleled. Everytime I go I lose 5+ kilos and more importantly feel like 7 years younger. Strengths: - Excellent health food - Staff & service (very personalized) - Excellent Yoga, stretching,... More

To get fit, to loose weight, to have amazing spa experience choose this resort. Pavilion is best place to stay. Food is very delicious, healthy and light.

I have visited ChivaSom five times in a row at Christmas. The first time, I did not really like it as I was not expecting a small dated room and I judged it largely as a hotel rather than a spa. The food was great and the treatments very good but the facilities looked too dated for me to want... More

I have yet to stay at Chiva Som but judging by the way they have communciated with me (over 15 emails) I think this place offers 5 star service even before one steps onto the premises! I am very fussy, and travel widely. I have communicated via email with lots of high end hotels over the world and I am... More

Just spent 7 nights and 8 glorious days at Chiva-Som and have come home renewed, energised, CALM, buffed and polished - all ready and better prepared for the coming Holidays! I won't prattle on about how wonderful EVERY aspect of this place is, but if you are considering a health retreat as a holiday, for whatever it is you want... More

The atmosphere in Chiva-Som and very determined staff who keeps on asking my bf not to use his phone in public area finally made him switched off his phone most of the time we... More

this is my 5th trip to Chiva Som in although I had not been there for about 4 years. I was a bit worried that it may have lost some of its sheen as a destination but thankfully it as a good as ever. It was great to see many of the staff in the restaurant and spa were still... More

This was my second visit to chiva som. In the first time I thought they never could be better. This time I was really impressed of the very small little tiny details they take care of. I have been to many health resorts in the past 5years trying to lose wight, C.S. is the most expensive one BUT it is... More

As far as spas go, I found the lack of pretension very refreshing, as it had remarkably friendly, easy-going staff, from my health advisor to my various massage and wellness practioners. I also liked the fact that the fitness instructors offered pretty good workouts, but never pushed anybody in the general classes to go above their limits. The Saturday BBQ... More
