VEHHA Hua Hin Offers Ocean View Luxury Homes

Thailand’s Tallest Coastal Residence VEHHA Hua Hin Now Offers Luxury Living with Ocean Views

Thailand's coastal city of Hua Hin has added a new landmark to its skyline with VEHHA Hua Hin, the tallest residential tower in the area. Developed by Proud Real Estate Plc, this Fitwel-certified luxury project offers panoramic ocean views, a wealth of hotel-style services, and a lifestyle rooted in wellness and convenience — all now available through limited-time discounts, starting at around USD 118,000.

Standing 31 floors high, VEHHA Hua Hin is more than just another high-rise. It has been carefully designed with 364 fully furnished units, available in 1-bedroom, 1-bedroom plus, and penthouse layouts. Every residence enjoys sweeping sea views, thanks to single corridor planning, natural light, and privacy-focused design.

Recognised under the Fitwel Design Certification, the development promotes health, sustainability, and mindful living. As Ms. Proudputh Liptapanlop, Executive Director of Proud Real Estate, puts it, “Every element of VEHHA Hua Hin—from its design to the services—reflects our brand belief: ALL IS WELL. We are committed to building homes that improve everyday life in every possible way.”

Residents here enjoy exclusive access to Holiday Inn Resort VANA NAVA Hua Hin amenities and services, such as private catering, room service, housekeeping, and a complimentary three-year pass to the VANA NAVA Water Jungle, one of Thailand’s top water parks. Wellness also plays a key role, with curated health programs from trusted medical and fitness partners.

VEHHA Hua Hin's location in Nong Kae places it just 700 meters from the beach, close to the train station, and within five minutes of Hua Hin’s downtown attractions. This makes it ideal for digital nomads, retirees, families, and second-home seekers looking for a calm yet connected life.

Several large infrastructure upgrades are also making Hua Hin even more accessible:

Highway 35 (M35) upgrade will reduce travel from Bangkok to just one hour.
New dual-track railway already shortens train journeys.
High-speed rail is under progress for quicker city-to-sea access.
Hua Hin Airport is expanding to meet international standards by 2026.
The Thailand Riviera Project, a 950 km coastal road, is boosting tourism and real estate value across 12 provinces.

Hua Hin’s timeless charm — from its beaches to heritage spots — combined with smart urban growth has made it a prime spot for long-term investment. With limited land available in beachfront zones, vertical developments like VEHHA Hua Hin are in high demand.

The real estate market in Hua Hin has been growing steadily, with 5 to 7 percent annual growth. Reports from Colliers Thailand show that 76% of launched high-rise units in the region were sold by end of 2024. While most local projects attract 85% Thai buyers, VEHHA Hua Hin has seen nearly 50% of its sales from international buyers, particularly from the US and Europe — a strong indicator of global appeal.

Rental returns are also promising, with VEHHA Hua Hin expected to deliver annual yields of 5.5 to 6 percent, supported by its premium features, strategic location, and award-winning design.

Looking ahead, Ms. Proudputh sees Hua Hin becoming an even stronger global destination. “Hua Hin is more than a coastal town; it's a lifestyle. With its mix of natural beauty, modern comforts, and wellness living, it’s truly a destination of the future.”

As land scarcity continues and infrastructure strengthens, VEHHA Hua Hin stands out as a rare opportunity for those who want more than just a home — a well-balanced life by the sea.

TOKYO SKYTREE Brings Cherry Blossom Season to New Heights with “THE Sakura SKYTREE”

Published on February 25, 2026

As Japan gears up for its much-awaited cherry blossom season, Tobu Tower Skytree Co., Ltd. has announced a special spring programme titled “THE Sakura SKYTREE – Going to Meet the Cherry Blossoms Above the Clouds” at TOKYO SKYTREE. The limited-period experience will run from February 26 to April 14, 2026, offering visitors a fresh way to enjoy sakura from 350 metres above ground.

Designed as an alternative to traditional park hanami, the event brings cherry blossom viewing into an urban, elevated setting. Located on the Tembo Deck at Floors 350 and 340, the experience blends sakura-inspired installations with wide, uninterrupted views of Tokyo, allowing visitors to enjoy spring scenery from above the city skyline.

Built around the theme “Sky × Sakura,” the Tembo Deck will be transformed with cherry blossom décor and Japanese-style photo installations. The setting reflects the fleeting beauty of sakura while creating striking visual moments for visitors. With the Tokyo skyline as a backdrop, the space offers a modern interpretation of spring that combines tradition with a sense of scale and spectacle.

For evening visitors, a key attraction will be the seasonal showcase at the SKYTREE ROUND THEATER® on Floor 350. The observatory’s large windows will turn into a panoramic screen for a three-minute visual presentation capturing the delicate and short-lived nature of cherry blossoms. Using 24 projectors and surround sound from 13 speakers, the experience adds a cinematic layer to hanami, bringing together culture, technology, and storytelling.

Adding to the seasonal feel, the SKYTREE CAFE on Floor 350 will launch a limited-edition cherry blossom-themed menu. The offerings will include both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, along with spring-inspired sweets. Highlights include donuts in “Sakura Mochi” and “Sakura Sky Vanilla” flavours, made as 100% plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free options. The menu is designed to be visually appealing and easy to share, enhancing the overall visitor experience.

The spring theme will also extend to the W1SH RIBBON monument on the Tembo Deck, where limited-edition pink ribbons will be available during the event period. Visitors can tie their wishes onto the softly lit pink installation, reflecting themes of renewal and fresh beginnings associated with the season. The monument lighting will also shift to pink to match the overall décor.

On selected evenings, TOKYO SKYTREE itself will light up in special spring illumination called “Sakura SKY (Sakura-Sora).” Inspired by cherry blossoms set against a spring sky, gentle pink beams will represent petals floating in the wind, turning the tower into a seasonal highlight visible across the city.

With immersive décor, visual storytelling, seasonal food, and special lighting, “THE Sakura SKYTREE” positions TOKYO SKYTREE as a standout attraction during spring. By presenting the cherry blossom season from 350 metres above ground, the event offers visitors an experience that feels modern, memorable, and uniquely Tokyo.
