A perfect example is the peaceful district of Pranburi, and the recently unveiled Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas offer a superb luxury retreat from which to explore this region. The only thing is, you may not want to leave your suite once you check-in. Located approximately 230 km from urban Bangkok, this 5-star property consists of private Pool Villas, one-bedroom Duplex Pool Villas, and one-bedroom Pool Villas Suites with a dining area for 4 persons. Even the smallest of these 3 options – the Pool Villas – are still incredibly roomy, providing 248 sq. m of indoor and outdoor living space. These romantic units have the word “honeymoon” written all over them, and guests here will enjoy a private terrace, a sunken infinity pool, and a shaded sala pavilion with L-shaped couch, and an outdoor Jacuzzi bath that can definitely accommodate more than one.
