Style and setting
The Palayana is a boutique resort of villas and rooms on the Cha am coast, with a 40 metre stretch of private beach, tropical planting and an ocean view pool deck. The mood is calm and contemporary, and the relatively small footprint is part of the appeal, giving an intimate, exclusive feel that larger resorts cannot match.
Capacity and spaces
Different settings suit different sizes. The private beach is at its best for around 70 to 100 guests, the garden and pool deck work for ceremonies and cocktails, and the ballroom holds up to around 200 for a seated celebration. As a place to stay, the resort comfortably accommodates a wedding party of up to around 130 guests. Confirm the exact figures for your chosen spaces with the resort.
What it costs
The resort prices weddings as packages built around the venue, the season, the menu and the guest count, and it caters to Thai, Western and Indian celebrations. A private beachfront resort wedding in Thailand offers strong value next to the Mediterranean, though a full celebration still carries a meaningful total. Treat any figure as indicative and confirm the current package directly with the resort.
A private celebration
Because the resort is compact it can be hired on an exclusive basis, so the beach, garden and grounds become yours for the event. This is a real draw for couples who want privacy and a multi day celebration, so ask about a full buyout when you enquire.
