MAYA Spa - Best place for Spa in Khao Yai (Inside Kirimaya Golf Club Resort)

Have you ever experienced the feeling of dread when you just ended a long tiring day of work and you JUST crave a back rub/ shoulder rub/ full body massage to reward your aching shoulder/ back?

I was so glad to be able to unwind and relax at this resort spa during my family trip to Khao Yai during Chinese New Year. It was an awesome time-off thanks to CNY being a P. Holiday in Singapore for me and my family.

The pictures and caption will do the talking.

 When you first enter the Golf resort and walk a short distance to reach Maya Spa. The first thing that will greet you is the beautiful fountain.



I really like the vibe here when I first entered this area. The view is exactly like what has been extracted from their booking website.

Subsequently, as you turn left, you will notice a small platform which leads you to a sheltered reception area.

The friendly staffs will pass you their price menu with a mini booklet which describes the spa packages they provide.

Overall review: Their signature treatment is around 4 hours - 6 hours. So ensure you allocate ample time for the whole massage experience. Do not wash off the massage oil unless told. Some of the massage oil has a very beneficial effect on your skin like the Kirimaya Massage oil I have chosen. I will definitely come back here again. Their service is top notch and their massage speciality lies in sports massage. This is because the spa is within a golf club. So, of course, the quality must be there as there is demand for it. They put in a lot of effort to make the whole spa journey a fully relaxing and enjoyable one. Even when you have your period, just leave your bottoms on. They are rather flexible with it.



Mum, dad and sister reading through the brochure and listening to their detailed explanations. We are then asked to fill in the form to declare any medical issues and to state our pressure preference.

Hot Towels to wipe our hand, magazines and Barley Tea was quickly served while they set-up our room for the massage. The barley tea is super good. On a scale of 1-10, it's like 100. My whole family loves it. I am really not exaggerating it. Please request this if you were there. 


Love how they put real frangipanni flowers on top of the plate. And they even placed aromatic oil for you to choose and smell prior to deciding which aromatic oil you would like to choose.




They have corn massage oil, Sports massage oil, Detox Massgae oil as well as Kirimaya Massgae oil

The corn oil is quite cool, you can really smell the corn in this. But I find it weird to have food smell rubbed over my body!

I was advised not to bathe as they mentioned that their aromatic oil has a moisturizing effect and we should allow our skin to absorb it fully. They keep insisting us to refrain from bathing despite my sister saying that she does not like oil on her body. She did not regret it after that though. She told me her skin feels really smooth as well. I really feel my skin becoming super soft and supple after this. I have been to many massage place in Johor Bahru and none of their massage oil makes my skin feel this soft!

The sports massage oil has a very sharp fragrance so I have chosen others instead.

The Detox massage oil was kinda aromatic.

The best massage oil and their recommended massage oil is actually Kirimaya Massage oil. It leaves your skin smooth and supple and the smell is really really good and aromatic.


I feel so surrounded by greenery despite it being all man-made. Had great joy walking around and exploring the areas surrounding the hut after my massage.


Water Lilies, Bridges, Small huts around the interior of the Spa resort. Each small hut is a room for massage :) Excellent place for taking Instag worthy photos.

Isn't this soothing just to watch?

My masseuse waiting for me. ..

Lime water and scrubbing followed by leg massage.

Straw slippers to wear inside the hut. Note:  Do not wear your own shoes inside the hut.

If you don't like the oil, there is a bathtub for you to indulge and bathe in. Don't worry they are rather professional and will leave you to bathe so you are left all alone.  !

Even a quick shower will do excellent don't you think? But it's really see through and "open"! But don't worry they are rather professional and will leave you to bathe so you are left all alone.  



Lastly, if you look at the video. The hut is really big in size and very classy. Best of all, imagine lying flat on the massage bed. Face facing the boring floor.  But to my surprise, they have placed beautiful flower water so that you are facing them during the massage instead.

I know that many people do not like other people touching their bodies. Why not think the other way, you can't massage your own ache away, so let the professionals handle it.

If it's relating to pressure issues, just tell them the desired pressure you want. Don't be afraid/shy to ask.  Your ultimate goal of coming here is to splurge and relax and enjoy. So always keep this in mind.

Some useful phrases for sharing:)
1. Harder  āšā¸Ŗā¸‡ā¸ā¸§่ā¸˛ā¸™ี้   --> RAENG GWÀA NÉE 
2. Softer  āš€ā¸šā¸˛ā¸ā¸§่ā¸˛ā¸™ี้ --> BAO GWÀA NÉE | My sister like to say Bao Bao and they'll understand. 
3. Faster  āš€ā¸Ŗ็ā¸§ā¸ā¸§่ā¸˛ā¸™ี้ --> REO GWÀA NÉE  
4. Slower ā¸Š้ā¸˛ā¸ā¸§่ā¸˛ā¸™ี้ --> CHÁA GWÀA NÉE

Good Bye! I will definitely be back here again if I am in Khao Yai.

Massage is not just a luxury. It's a way to a healthier, happier life.
