Boutique Hotels in Koh Samui

When your friends sling the old saying “Go big or go home”, you tune out that noise and turn your attention to gorgeous snapshots of Koh Samui. Located off the coast of Thailand’s Kra Isthmus, this tiny island is home to endless ocean views, towering palm trees and a really big Buddha.

But wait, there’s more!

Every bite of the coastal Thai cuisine is bursting with local flavour, and each boutique hotel in Koh Samui boasts loads of character and personalised amenities. Book from our stellar selection of Koh Samui boutique accommodation and live large on a secluded Thai island. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, an island-hopping retreat with your crew or a tropical walkabout, the holiday starts here.

Out & About in Koh Samui

Koh Samui has the amazing combination of lavish luxury and easygoing island vibes. Spend a morning on the driving range at a local country club, lounge at a low-key beach on a quiet afternoon, and treat yourself to a fab spa treatment—all before eating your weight in seafood curry and sipping the evening away, one mai tai at a time.

The island is made up of seven districts, and you’ll find most of the best boutique hotels in Koh Samui along the east coast, in Bo Phut in the north and Maret along the southeast shoreline. Get to know the region’s spiritual side with a trip to Big Buddha in Bo Phut. At the end of a long flight of stairs the golden statue of this wise teacher looks pretty chill. Achieve that same level of Zen with some beach meditation in the calm tides at nearby Choeng Mon Beach.

Surround yourself in sea and sand farther south in Maret, home to the island’s most beloved beaches and a lot of them. The Kala Samui is a short walk to Silver Beach and Royal Samui Golf and Country Club. Wake up to views of the ocean through floor-to-ceiling windows and energise your lazy day with gourmet room service and a refreshing facial at the full-service spa.

If you’re all about the rock ‘n’ roll, the waterfront formation Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks will take care of the former, and you can splash in the tide pools or kayak offshore to tackle the latter. Plan a hike and a soak, and stay close by at Rocky's Boutique Resort, a colourful and plush Koh Samui boutique hotel with private balconies, two restaurants and fabulous views.

Food & Drink

Let’s be honest: Thai food is awesome, whether you’re eating takeaway alone in your flat on a rainy day, or dining at the source. The local spin on your favourite fare includes plenty of prawns and coconut with garlic and chili sauce galore.

For a flavourful trip to vintage Koh Samui, wander over to Hua Thanon Fisherman’s Village on the south side of Maret. This corner of the coastline may look forgotten by time, but few tourists venture out this far, so there’s more banana leaf-wrapped street food for you and character to spare!
