Absolute Beach Front on Kamala Beach: The Layalina Hotel.

Nice People. Simplicity. Authenticity. Flexibility. Attention to Detail : It started like this…..a classically trained hotelier decides to put his passion to boutique retreats. He’s focused. Obsessed with using only top notch products. He loves people. Runs a 15 room hideaway on Kamala Beach like a five-diamond-award ultra luxury hotel where he honed his skills. Spends hours getting everything perfect, so your stay is a real experience and makes you feel so good. After all, just because a hotel is small and not ‘The Ritz’ is no reason you can’t create an even better feeling.

Manathai Resort is a small boutique resort hotel, located in the heart of Surin Beach. The property faces the turquoise Andaman Sea. It is in an exclusive area adjacent to the Amanpuri & Chedi resorts with direct access to the white sands of Surin Beach.
