Tamarind Village

Add to wishlist Contact us

Hidden under the shade of a 200-year-old Tamarind Tree, from which it takes its name, this centrally located boutique hotel showcases the style and diversity of the region.

The 47 rooms overlook pretty leafy courtyards and additional facilities include a large swimming pool, a relaxed poolside restaurant and a traditional spa.

Why we like Tamarind Village

Although centrally located so very close to the bustle of temples and markets, the hotel provides an incredibly tranquil oasis to return to and the staff are attentive and charming.

Facilities

  • Swimming pool
  • Spa
  • Restaurant and bar

Activities

Explore some of the many temples on the doorstep, search for local products in the market or take a cookery or Thai massage lesson.
