We had an absolutely amazing stay at Indie Beach! The location is perfect—tucked away from the busy areas, with a stunning beach just steps away. It felt like our own private paradise.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They were always friendly, provided excellent service, and made us feel so welcome. The daily cleaning kept everything spotless.

A special highlight was when the team surprised my boyfriend for his birthday—they prepared a delicious little cake and beautifully decorated our room. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch!

The food was another standout—healthy, well-balanced, and absolutely delicious. We truly felt cared for in every way.

Thank you, Indie Beach, for an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to come back!

The rooms are great, they actually have a style with a loving touch which can be rare in Thailand.

The restaurant is one of the few places in Thailand where you could get healthy western modern cuisine that's tasty. It's like Melbourne or Bali.
