Ayutthaya Retreat

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of the ancient capital, Ayutthaya Retreat is a serene sanctuary where Thai architecture, lush nature, and timeless culture come together in perfect harmony. This magical place was chosen as a filming location for the famous Thai drama “Buppesannivas” (Love Destiny) – both season 1 and 2 – and it’s easy to see why.||Traditional teakwood houses rest beside emerald ponds, surrounded by greenery and whispering breezes. It’s the perfect hideaway for those seeking peace, healing, or simply a beautiful spot to sip tea and unwind.||More than a stay, it’s a cultural experience. The host is wonderfully kind and welcoming, making you feel not like a guest, but like a cherished friend. Ayutthaya Retreat isn’t just a destination – it’s a feeling you’ll want to return to again and again.

Booked three rooms for my parents and relatives and were welcomed with exceptional hospitality from the moment we arrived. The warm reception and thoughtful service made us feel right at home. We were also delighted by the playful cats roaming the property, adding an extra touch of charm to our stay. Breakfast and desserts were not only authentic and delicious but also beautifully presented. Every detail felt carefully considered, making our experience truly special. I would return in a heartbeat!

Ayutthaya Retreat – Where Simplicity Becomes Sanctuary If your heart longs for peace, this is where it can rest. Ayutthaya Retreat welcomes you with the charm of traditional Thai living – timeless wooden houses, lotus-filled ponds, and the gentle rustle of trees. Here, time slows down. You’ll sip tea on a wooden deck, listen to birdsong, and feel the soft wind like a lullaby from the past. This is more than a stay. It’s a space to breathe, to heal, and to reconnect with the beauty of simplicity. Come not just to visit – but to return to yourself.

We passed by this place by chance. What a lovely atmosphere for lunchtime. All the staff are great and really friendly. We feel so relaxed here and maybe come for a few retreat nights next time.

The coconut cake was perfect and not too sweet just right... And the Sai-Mai auttaya coffee was very interesting cause it had Thai cotton candy on top 😋

OK hotel but the fact its on the river and when we came to eat here they have no fish. That's crazy for a river resturaunt.

It’s a real “retreat” if you compare with hotels n guesthouses in the central area which is 10 mins away by car. May take some time to have a “grab” driver to response as they can be picky. nice deco, almost like a 4 stars resort ; room facilities not as a 4 star hotel e.g no air conditioning in the bathroom. But can have all you need , with clean n nice quality white towels, for example. Clean room and we had a good sleep. Food from restaurant is satisfactory at reasonable prices; there is a pizza chef and pizza oven n authentic pizza doughs are available. Excellent staff services Recommended if you do not mind you need transport going out (which is not difficult nor very costly actually) n be reminded this is a not a modern hotel. Will stay again if traveling there.

This is a hotel and restaurant. There is enough parking space. From the entrance, the interior of a traditional Thai wooden house is impressive. There is a pond in the middle of the restaurant, making a comfortable atmosphere. There are tables both indoors and outdoors. Since we were visiting after a meal, we simply ordered a drink and a mango dessert and pizzas. The pizza is not fancy, but it is baked in a wood-fired oven. The serving time was a bit long (50 minutes). but the mango dessert and drinks were good. Recommended for those who want to eat a variety of dishes, both Thai and Western food, in a traditional Thai house.
