Koh Samui Hotels

Stay in our Samui hotels and explore the island’s beaches which offer something for everyone, whether you enjoy water sports, surfing or just relaxing away from the crowds. Probably the island’s most popular beach is Chaweng, which is located on the island’s east coast. Chaweng Beach boasts 6km of soft sand, where you will find heaps of water sports and the island’s most happening nightlife. Or if you’re chasing the waves, head south to Lamai Beach, where you will not only find deeper waters perfect for surfing, but also great massages, facials and saunas. See palm trees that grow at ridiculous angles on Laem Set Beach, or find your own piece of beach away from the crowds, at Taling Ngam Bay. The scuba diving around Samui is amazing... vibrant corals and tropical fish make it an unforgettable experience, and you’ll love the choice of dive sites.

See Samui’s animals at work and at play: Go on an elephant trek; touch deadly snakes at one if the island’s many snake shows; see a monkey show and marvel at their famed coconut collecting skills, which once formed the basis of the island’s economy; see rare marine life and Bengal tigers at the Samui Aquarium; or see hundreds of colourful butterflies and flowers at the Samui Butterfly Garden in the island’s southeast.

While staying in your Koh Samui resort, don’t miss a visit to Hin Ta and Hin Ya. Meaning “Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks” and named for their similarity to the sexual organs, these unusual rock formations are located on the south end of Lamai Beach. Also be sure to visit the Na Muang Waterfall which falls from the highlands over two levels. The most easily accessible is the lower level, where the water falls 20m into a pool which is great for a refreshing swim.

Soak up the local culture with a visit to one of the island’s temples. Of most interest are Wot Sumret, which houses white marble Buddha thought to be hundreds of years old, and Wat Kiri Wongkaram and Wat Khunaram, which both contain the mummified bodies of monks, one still in the mediation position in which he died.

A visit to Koh Phangan should not be missed! It boasts white sandy beaches, great swimming and snorkelling - it’s only a short boat ride from your Koh Samui hotel. On the island is Hat Rin Beach where thousands come to dance the night away during the world-famous full moon parties. Koh Phangan is perfectly situated for a day trip from Koh Samui, or take your time and stay in one of our Koh Phangan hotels.
