This 25-storey destination resort is the tallest structure in Hua Hin and was designed as an extension of Vana Nava Water Park with the aim to accommodate guests who come as families or as individuals, essentially creating a water park resort.
The design concept was to position the common areas to provide optimum views of the ocean and surrounding mountains. A rooftop Infinity Edge pool is the highlight of the building. This is connected to the Sky Bar which has both indoor and outdoor seating was well as a glass-bottomed terrace. 80% of guest rooms have views of the water park, Hua Hin town and the ocean in the distance, all the way down the coast to Kao Tao. Each room boasts a large balcony which is open to the sea breeze.
Traditional bamboo fish traps were the inspiration for the building’s form. This was simplified and translated into an architectural structure. Fish motifs adorn the walls of the interior spaces, reflecting the local history as a renowned fishing village.
