Beach Hotels 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!

Everything, location, Koh Ngai is amazing the staff is very kind and the restaurant is Great too. Amazing hotel!

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.

Excelent restaurant and food. Nice bungalow close to the beach.

We really loved our stay here. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful people we’ve encountered during our 4 weeks in Thailand. Special shout out to Kit for just being all round fantastic ☺️ The location is absolutely stunning and you’re right on an incredibly clean beach. Our rooms met all our expectations from staying on similar islands in the same price range- I would disagree with some of the other reviews for here that say otherwise. Aircon worked great too!

the location. Fantastic beach with amazing snorkelling

amazing location for a calm and relaxing stay. view for the balcony or beach looked like from the post card. garden full of flowers and well maintained. Beach nice and clean.

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

Very nice and quiet island and this hotel's location was good for me as I didn't want to be on the busier side of the beach. The room was nice, the food was very good and the staff was friendly, especially one woman in the restaurant.

Wonderful beach and pool for children. Good snorkeling, beautiful place.
