Rooms

8 room types · 23–52 m²

Palita Lodge offers suites and one-bedroom villas, with accommodation ranging from 23 to 52 m². The two suites are the largest options: one has a separate living area, while the other has a seating area. Both overlook the garden and have a bathroom with a bath and shower. The villas include garden-view, pool-view and beachfront choices, so the view and position vary across the range.

Rooms have private bathrooms, air conditioning and a balcony or terrace, with a minibar and flat-screen TV also available. Some villas have garden views, while the beachfront villa faces the sea. Room layouts include single beds, double beds and an extra-large double bed, with twin or double alternatives in selected categories. The one-bedroom villas offer a more independent layout, and the ground- and second-floor options provide distinct positions within the resort.

Shared songthaews travel from Thong Sala to Haad Rin, and the resort has free public parking on site.
