After a whirlwind of city adventures, Bangkok’s buzzing streets, and a full belly from exploring its food scene, I found myself exactly where I needed to be: Amaranth Spa—a serene, sensory cocoon tucked within the vibrant world of Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok.
From the very first moment, Amaranth feels like a refuge you didn’t realize you needed until you walked in. Set above the city but completely removed from its chaos, the space is calm, rooted in nature, and thoughtfully designed. My treatment suite was stunning, with large windows looking out onto soothing greenery—like a private retreat suspended in a garden. The light, the leaves, the hush of the room—it all sets the tone for pure stillness.
I opted for a 1-hour deep Thai massage, and it was nothing short of transformational. The therapist’s technique was expert—firm, intuitive, and deeply restorative. Every knot, every bit of tension was carefully, respectfully eased. You could tell this wasn’t just a massage—it was a healing ritual drawn from traditional Thai practice and elevated with modern spa luxury. The subtle scent of aromatherapeutic oils, paired with calming music and the room’s natural ambiance, made me feel like time had paused.
After the treatment, I lingered in the lounge area, sipping on a refreshing herbal drink—light, tangy, and the perfect ending note to such a restorative hour. The vibe of the spa is quietly luxurious, but never stiff or cold. It’s earthy, elemental, and spiritual, just like the name suggests.
What makes Amaranth Spa truly stand out is how thoughtfully everything is layered—from the textures and scents to the flow of the space and the intuitive service. It doesn’t scream luxury—it whispers it. And the price point? Very fair for the experience and setting, especially considering the level of care and ambiance.
This is the kind of spa I’d return to even if I wasn’t staying at the hotel. Whether you're recovering from jet lag, treating yourself after a long week, or simply craving a moment to breathe, Amaranth Spa is the calm in Bangkok’s storm. A secret sanctuary that lives up to the promise of making you feel...

During my recent trip to Bangkok, I was looking for a place to fully relax and recharge and I found exactly that at Amaranth Spa in Kimpton Malai. It truly exceeded my expectations.
From the moment I walked in, the calming scent and serene atmosphere instantly put me at ease. The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive throughout the entire experience.
I chose the oil massage treatment for 60 minutes. The treatment room was beautifully designed, with soft lighting, relaxing music, and a warm, cozy ambiance. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to help me completely unwind. After the massage, I felt light, refreshed, and completely rejuvenated like hitting the reset button on both my body and mind.
A special thank you to Khun Yu, who took such great care of me. Her warm hospitality and gentle approach made the experience even more special. She was attentive to every little detail and made sure I felt completely comfortable throughout the session.

Read moreEasily the best massage my partner and I had with masseuse Yumi and Su! Firstly loved the entire relaxing atmosphere of the spa achieved by of the interior of the spa, music and fragrances. Then the receptionist staff were all very welcoming. We had a difficult time choosing what treatment we wanted, so was recommended the "Love you like you do" packagae where you are able to choose and combine multiple treatments within a certain time. We decided to do 90 minutes with body scrub and massage and was very satisfied with it. Prior to treatment we were escorted back for welcome drinks, then we were escorted to the couple room for the treatment. The room had its own bathroom with shower and toilet so was glad we had a lot of privacy. Yumi and Su were both very accommodating and tailored the massage to each of us, focsuing on areas that needed extra focus and pressure. Afterwards we were offered either tea or a cold mocktail at a separate relaxation room to wind down as long as we wanted. Honestly never experienced such service and hospitality, and the massage quality was so good. 100% recommend, ask for...
