Varinda Resort in Lamai Beach

It is a wonderful place to stay in. The area is beautiful, colourful with a lot of plants everywhere. Perfect location and staff members are so kind and helpful.
We will come back here later for sure.

Fantastic property! One of the best I've ever been to! Amazing staff! Magnificent resort!

Varinda Garden Resort is hands down the most magical place I have ever stayed! From the moment I arrived, it felt less like a resort and more like a home. The owners are so warm and loving, the staff are always smiling, helpful, and kind—I truly miss them all. Even the resident dogs became part of my mornings, bringing joy and playfulness to each day. This resort is unlike anywhere else: colorful, artistic, tranquil, and full of heart. Every corner has something to discover—positive affirmations on the walls, unique art, hidden garden nooks, and cozy spots to relax. It felt like a maze of wonder, and my inner child was in her absolute element! I was here for almost a month while completing my yoga teacher training in the beautiful on-site shala, and I had the opportunity to experience several different rooms. Each room is uniquely decorated, vibrant, and full of character. Daily cleaning and restocking is available, and no two rooms are the same—every stay feels special. The resort has three pools to choose from, including a fun waterslide and a serene infinity pool perfect for unwinding. The views overlooking the beach are breathtaking, especially at sunrise. And the location is ideal—just a short walk to the beach. The food was always delicious, with a breakfast spread that consistently delighted. And I have to mention the espresso—seriously, the best I’ve had anywhere! On top of all that, the resort offers yoga, meditation, massage, and even creative art activities for kids. The grounds are alive with nature—lizards, geckos, frogs, squirrels, and beautiful birds—which adds to the peaceful, magical atmosphere. Varinda Garden Resort is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience of love, creativity, and pure joy. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for somewhere truly unique, heart-filled, and unforgettable, this is it. 🌸✨

This place is pure magic! The pictures do not do it justice—every detail is filled with love and creativity. From the breathtaking ocean views to the vibrant and artistic decor, you can feel the heart and soul poured into every corner of this beautiful retreat. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, enjoying a peaceful yoga session with a stunning view, or watching the sky light up at sunset, every moment here is unforgettable. A truly one-of-a-kind experience that I can’t wait to relive!

Amazing place greatly taken care of.

Generally we really enjoyed our stay. There are only 2 things that weren’t good.

1. The sound isolation.
On our last day the people above us decided to drink and listen to loud music. Since the rooms are basically not insulated we were able to hear everything and well then it is basically a gamble if you have silebt people or loud people around you.

2. We really disliked the bedsheets. At the end of the night they were always somewhere but not in the bed. I expecially didn’t like the one for the blanket.

Otherwise we really liked our stay.
They have a nice pool(appears bigger in the pictures than it is )

The breakfast was great

The staff was very friendly

There is a shortcut to the beach so like a 5-7min walk to the beach

Great facility that is so unique. Breakfast over the sea, rooms are big enough and the hippie atmosphere is fun. A lot of love and style goes into creating such an artistic atmosphere.

The hotel has beautiful surroundings, like statues, sculptures, different kinds of decorations. It feels like a place for yoga retreat, and you can actually have yoga classes there. The hotel's territory is very appealing. My room was kinda rather poor in decoration and it did not match with the price honestly speaking. Breakfast was included but it was very simple, with not much choice. It is a perfect place for introverts because the place is quiet. You can find a lot of massage places and restaurants on the way to the sea.

I visited Varinda just to see the place, as it was recommended to me by a friend. Once I visited I decided to book for 5 nights as I was that impressed by the entire place. Staff were very friendly and always there to help in any way. The kitchen made the best Pad Thai on the island - perfect!
