Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced the opening of THE BARAI HUA HIN, marking the debut of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Thailand.

Set along the historic Khao Takiap coastline in Hua Hin, the 98-room beachfront resort brings together standout wellness tradition, locally-inspired design and the spirit of Sanook (สนุก) – the Thai expression for the joy of living. Drawing on this legacy, THE BARAI HUA HIN first opened as a spa 20 years ago, now expanded into a boutique resort. The reimagined property offers a restorative sanctuary grounded in classic Thai hospitality.

Marco Avitabile, General Manager of THE BARAI HUA HIN, said, “Our philosophy is rooted in Sanook, the belief that joy, ease and delight should be part of life’s most meaningful moments. Whether guests come for deep rest, movement, spa rituals, culinary discovery or time by the sea, we invite them to experience renewal in a way that feels personal, memorable and entirely their own.”

The resort comprises 98 guest rooms and suites, including 27 suites and a pair of two-bedroom penthouses with open living spaces, expansive private balconies, soaking tubs and rainforest showers. The resort offers two pools including Forest Pool, a shaded lagoon-like setting and the Beach Pool, an oceanfront counterpoint; THE BARAI Spa; two-story Wellness Hub which includes a 24-hour fitness studio, yoga studio, holistic zone and wellness shop; two distinctive dining destinations including White Cottage, refined dining destination focused on fresh seafood, plant-forward dishes and Thai-inspired flavours and McFarland House, 19th-century beachfront pavilion offers Modern European cuisine, grilled meats, weekday afternoon tea and Sunday brunches.

The opening of THE BARAI Hua Hin, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, further expands the brand’s portfolio of independent, one-of-a-kind hotels. As the brand's first property in Thailand, the resort brings a new wellness story to the collection, shaped by architecture, heritage, nature and the joyful Thai spirit of Sanook.

The brand is expected to continue its global growth this year with Cayo Levantado in the Dominican Republic and The Clayfield in Canada.
