About Lavella Spa
Massage and spa, open since 2022.
How we started
Lavella opened in 2022 on the main road in Ban Tai. The building was brand new, the mountains stood right behind it, and one tour was enough: this had to become a spa. We started with five treatment rooms and a small team; our first guests were our neighbours at the time.
Every year since has brought more treatments, more rooms and more therapists, many of whom have been with us from the early years. The newest addition is the Vietnamese hair spa.
From day one, the goal has been the whole visit, not just the treatment. It is why every visit ends with rose tea and mango sticky rice: one of the founders wanted guests to finish with something genuinely Thai.
We are grateful so many people gave a new spa a try. We hope you will too.
What guests say
“I am very afraid of massage… But these people are so nice. And they are professional. I could relax and enjoyed the massage so much.”
“Best massage I’ve had in Koh Phangan. The people, the details, the cleanliness… they do a great job making you feel comfortable and relaxed and taken care of!”
“I’ve lived here 8 years but never visited before… It seriously went beyond my expectations… I’ll definitely be back.”
Good to know
Do I need to book ahead?
We recommend it, especially evenings and packages. Walk-ins are welcome when we have space. WhatsApp is fastest: +66 83 403 5822.
Can I choose the pressure?
Yes. Before we start, you mark pressure and problem areas on a simple body chart, and you can change your mind during the treatment. Just say softer or stronger; our therapists expect it.
What if something does not feel right?
Tell us in the first 20 minutes: we will change the pressure or style, switch your therapist, or stop at no charge. After that, we understand the treatment is comfortable for you, and it is charged in full.
What products do you use?
Mostly our own: oils and scrubs made for Lavella. Ask your therapist what is in them. If you have allergies or sensitive skin, tell us when you book.
What should I wear or bring?
Nothing special. We provide loose clothing for Thai massage, spa underwear, towels, and a shower for oil treatments and packages.
How do I pay?
At the spa after your treatment: cash or Thai QR, or by credit card (+3% fee). Prices are on the menu. Spa packages are secured with a ฿500 deposit when you book — fully refunded if you change or cancel up to 2 hours before your visit.
Are you open every day?
Yes, 10:00 to 22:00. On a few Thai holidays, like Songkran, we close; we announce it on Google and Instagram ahead of time.
Where exactly are you?
On the main road in Ban Tai. The map on our contact page shows the entrance.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes. Buy one on the vouchers page: pick an amount, pay by card, and it arrives by email. Valid 12 months, for any treatment or package.
