Fantabulous design: The Sea-Cret, Hua Hin

Last month, I spent three weeks in Thailand visiting my family. For part of the trip, we travelled south of Bangkok to the beachside resort town of Hua Hin. We soaked in the spa, gorged ourselves on delicious seafood and met lots of friendly people. I thought I’d share with you all some pictures of our hotel.

The Sea-Cret, Hua Hin

We stayed at a poolside suite on the ground floor, which has a private terrace right on the edge of the huge saltwater pool, along with its own private Jacuzzi.

Access to the pool through a waterfall curtain next to the terrace

A pretty area divider, the pearly iridescence of the shell curtains adds an air of seaside sophistication. Shell curtains create a shimmering backdrop to the reception area and are also used as privacy screens for the Jacuzzis on the second and third floor balconies.

Beautiful lighting

Books, magazines and a DVD collection free for guests to borrow

The expertly designed suite consists of a bedroom and a living room with a daybed, which can be converted to a queen-size bed, along with a working table, a dining table and mini-bar.
