Accommodation in Ko Ngai

This camping is in gorgeous location! You are literally few meters away from the water and there are not many people on the beach. Beds are comfy, the fan is enough instead of AC. Very tasty breakfasts and tasty green curry (didnt try more). Friendly staff :) highly recommended and would come back!

Very nice comfortable design. It's more a 4 star than 3 star hotel. Very enjoyable

Beautiful bungalow with a sea view. Paradise-like

Older but nice and very well running resort on perfect beach. Very nice and helpful stuff , very good kitchen. Room was spacious , clean and beds OK. Relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Very nice resort on the quiet side of the island. There is no other resort and it’s less busy than on the other side. The little cottages are cozy and well maintained. Bathroom is a bit dated but works fine. Room has a fridge and AC. Breakfast offers a great variety with lots of fresh fruit, warm and cold beverages and western and Asian food. We liked it a lot and the view is great. Resort offers towels for the pool and beach. Good restaurant, food is tasty. Staff is attentive and friendly.

To me, this is the best hotel on Ko Ngai. My partner and I spent three nights here and felt like we were living an island fairytale. The island is a small slice of paradise—a pristine white sand beach with crystal-clear water and a serene, magical tranquility. Best beach in my life. The property is literally on the beach, with sleeping huts set back slightly for privacy. After trying food at several other resorts for variety (there are no native community or standalone restaurants on Ko Ngai), I can confidently say Mayalay Resort is the most atmospheric place. Resorts closer to the ferry pier felt overly polished and commercialized (with too many kids), while those farther down the beach became increasingly basic (with beach only accesible at low tide). Mayalay strikes the perfect balance: all the amenities you need with an alaways accesible beach, while maintaining a laid-back, elegant vibe. The open, airy design of the dining area—with white sun shades and white furniture—gives the resort understated elegance. It’s easily the islands most aesthetically pleasing resort. The coral reefs and beach (though unfortunately mostly dead) seemed better than at other parts of the beach. We noticed that longtail boats tend to anchor closer to the pier, making those sections of the reef busier, while resorts farther down the beach often attract large groups of day tourists. Mayalay’s beach, in contrast, felt like a tranquil enclave, perfectly suited for relaxation and adding to its recharging atmosphere. The staff were attentive yet respectful, giving us a sense of privacy that helped us fully unwind. They were always friendly and talkative when engaged but never intrusive, creating an enchanting, stress-free experience. Having arrived with an early ferry from Ko Lanta, the staff made our room available even before check-in. My girlfriend and I are already planning to return with our parents to share the joy of this magical place.

A tropical paradise! Amazing location; quiet, clean, extensive grounds to walk and roam. At the end of the beach, so private and peaceful. The staff is 100%! Professional, efficient, courteous and always provided service with a smile. The absolute best massage(s) I've had in Thailand (If you want a "strong" massage, ask and they will put you with the super experienced lady who will knock your socks off). Delicious, affordable food. So tasty and the service was impeccable. The minute I sat down, a server would be at my table with a menu. The breakfast buffet was full of fresh fruit, made to order eggs, and more. The pool was refreshing and had a lovely view overlooking the ocean (Ok, there are a few kids; but, I'm happy to see families having fun.). We arrived on a Saturday and all of the beach chairs were occupied, but, by the next day, there were plenty available, but, get your spot early. We had a suite 402; we liked it. It may have been one of the more affordable "garden views" however, 402 overlooked the "lake", had a large patio and lots of privacy. Some of the beachfront units were directly on the walking path which were probobly great in the evening, but, not as much privacy during the day. Next visit I will try the units "on the hill with the sea view".

Clean and spacious rooms with big shower. Sweet and helpful staff. Great breakfast buffet.

Such a beautiful bungalow in the most stunning location!

Fantastic stay! The hotel offered great value for money – the accommodation was excellent for the price. The pool was nice and the breakfast was very good as well. Everything met our expectations!
