Holidays for every traveller

Romantic holidays in Koh Samui

Spend some quality time with your partner on a romantic holiday in Koh Samui. Tread hand-in-hand along champagne sands and voyage across the gorgeous turquoise waters. Enjoy paradise and some serious pampering, just the two of you, at Six Senses Samui or Santiburi Beach Resort Golf & Spa. For a trendy stay, pick W Retreat Koh Samui – also with a fabulous spa.

Beach holidays in Koh Samui

Most islands make for unbeatable beach holiday destinations, and Koh Samui is no different. Whether you prefer more manicured beaches, wilder beaches scattered with boulders or beaches that have great snorkelling just off shore, you’ll be happy in Koh Samui. To stay near Chaweng, one of the island’s most popular beaches, choose Anantara Lawana Resort & Spa with a beachside infinity pool. Otherwise, the Ozo Chaweng Samui invites jet-set couples with a fun, non-fussy atmosphere. For a slightly less busy beach holiday, select Le Meridien Koh Samui, which offers tempting spa treatments near Lamai Beach.

Thailand family holidays in Koh Samui

With beautiful beaches and cultural attractions, Koh Samui is a dream destination for families. Even if you prefer to settle down and relax in a lovely resort for most of your holiday, your children will be happily entertained at dedicated kids’ clubs when you stay at Sheraton Samui Resort or The Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui. In addition to two secluded beaches, The Ritz-Carlton also has a great reef for snorkelling.

Luxury Thailand villas in Koh Samui

You will feel at home when you spread out into one of Koh Samui’s luxury Thai villas. Embrace the independence of enjoying your holiday on your own time and appreciate your spacious surrounds. With more bedrooms, you can also share your Koh Samui experience with larger groups of family and friends. If you are interested in more contemporary villas, check into Vana Belle, a Luxury Collection Resort. Simply luxuriate in your own private paradise.

Thailand multi-centre holidays

If you are travelling to Koh Samui from afar, you should venture to other incredible nearby destinations, too. First, you can stay in Bangkok for a few nights to see the Grand Palace and floating market at Amari Watergate. Next, relax at Mai Samui Beach resort & Spa in Koh Samui (one of the best islands in Thailand), and finish your trip in Singapore. Wander around the famous ‘solar trees’ in the park and check out the famous Raffles hotel before returning to the Mandarin Oriental or Park Hotel Clarke Quay.

Explore the different island neighbourhoods

North-east: Thongson Bay

For a more secluded island feel, settle towards Thongson Bay in the north-east. The quiet peninsula is scenic, and The Tongsai Bay hotel stretches out across the lush green hillside. If you prefer to spend your time on the beach and in gorgeous gardens while your children stay busy at the kids’ club, choose Melati Beach Resort & Spa. Six Senses Samui provides a haven for a wellness with wonderful water views further north.

North: Bophut Beach

You will find many resorts along the north coast of Koh Samui, which is quite popular with travellers. Here, you can spend sunny afternoons at four beaches: Maenam, Bang Po Beach, Bang Rak Beach and Bophut. (Maenam is especially good for swimming.) For a dash of culture, the Friday night market in Fisherman’s Village is a must – as is a visit to Wat Phra Yai (aka: Big Buddha Temple). Stay at the nearby Anantara Bophut Resort & Spa or travel to the stunning, secluded beach at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. The Mai Samui Beach Resort & Spa in the north-west also offers a serene getaway.

West: Nathon Town South: Laem Set Beach

South: Laem Set Beach

The south of Koh Samui is sparsely populated with the houses of fishermen. It’s also a great place to stop for authentic Thai food and incredibly fresh seafood, which also gets shipped to Thailand’s mainland. Stop by the beach-side restaurants in Baan Thong Krut. Laem Set Beach on the east is topped with granite boulders and surrounded by low hills. The secluded coves and thick forest make this area unique.

South-east: From Chaweng to Lamai

Although not quite as remote as the south, Koh Samui’s south-east coast is very tranquil. Nature lovers will appreciate the scenic beaches in addition to the small, secluded coves. You can find large rock formations here, too, some of which reach into the turquoise water. Once you get past the large boulders, this is a good area for swimming and snorkelling. The hotels perched on the hills here also have stunning views.
