sala bang pa-in, a boutique resort under SALA Hospitality Group, has been honored with the Silver Medal Award 2024 in the Hospitality / Wellness Architecture category by the Association of Siamese Architects under Royal Patronage. This prestigious annual competition recognizes Thailand’s most outstanding architectural achievements, and the award standing as a proud testament to a property that seamlessly unites contemporary design with local heritage.
Nestled on a private island along the Chao Phraya Riverbank in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, near the historic Bang Pa-In Summer Palace with more than 390 years of legacy, sala bang pa-in stands out as the only boutique resort in this unique location. Featuring 24 deluxe rooms and pool villas under the “Historical Getaway” concept, the resort’s architecture beautifully blends the rural charm of Ayutthaya with modern aesthetics. Local materials – such as sheer fabrics, brick, natural wood, and wicker – create an atmosphere of simplicity, warmth, and serenity. The resort’s design respects its surroundings, mirroring nearby traditional homes and embracing lush greenery and a well-preserved giant rain tree, while offering modern conveniences and functionality. Guests are welcomed into a vibrant red lobby nestled beneath an elevated wooden structure. One of the resort’s most iconic features is its signature red bridge, which connects both sides of the river. Bold yet harmonious with the village landscape, the bridge symbolizes the bond between innovative architecture and the local riverside community.
Interiors are open and airy, with nature visible from every viewpoint. A standout feature is sala signature villa one, offering generous living spaces and a panoramic riverside balcony – ideal for taking in views of the Chao Phraya River and Ayutthaya’s tranquil countryside. Families, couples, and groups of friends can indulge in a variety of memorable experiences — from scenic boat tours of the Bang Pa-In Summer Palace and visits to historic landmarks, to cycling along the 50-kilometer picturesque route around Ayutthaya. Guests seeking relaxation can unwind with a refreshing plunge in the 30-meter waterfront pool before ending the day with a romantic sunset cocktail overlooking the river.
sala bang pa-in was developed in collaboration with Twitee Vajrabhaya Teparkum from the Department of Architecture Co., a renowned design studio behind Six Senses Samui and SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort. This marks the third SALA property to receive the prestigious design accolade, underscoring not only SALA Hospitality group’s business success but also its vision for crafting distinctive, luxury hospitality experiences in Thailand’s most captivating destinations.
