Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin first opened its doors to welcome guests in the early 1920s, at a time when the new railway line to Malaysia was transforming the sleepy fishing village of Hua Hin into Thailand’s first beach resort.

Sensitively extended and renovated, Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin retains its air of that bygone age of elegance. Set on the beachfront, with a wide expanse of gardens perfect for strolling and enjoying the sea breezes, and with a prime town centre location ideal for exploring and shopping, the resort hotel is a prime destination for couples and families.

Spaciousness is a feature with every room category, with our largest suites providing a living area of 170 square metres.Located in a quiet area of our huge expanse of gardens, and served by a separate swimming pool and children’s pool, we also offer 42 single-storey villas.
