It was one of the best hotel we have ever stayed! Sea view room with balcony is amazing! Own beach that is just 5 meters from the hotel. The street the hotel is situated with a lot of restaurants and bars. Very close to everything! Thank you housekeeping stuff who cleaned the room every day and leave the new towels every day too. It was so nice to come back to the clean room. Pito, Hotel Manager, is very serviceminded and friendly guy. He knows everything about the island and can give a lot of good advices. So take a cup of coffee with him in the lobby balcony with the view to the sea! We recommend this place to everyone and we will come back again to this hotel.

Nam was a great host, she helped us get an excellent ocean view room. She also helped arrange scooter for our travel to the market. Service throughout was fantastic and very proactive. We were allowed a late checkout upon request as we were late in packing our stuff. The whole staff was very friendly and attentive. The massage lady onsite had amazing technique and was very knowledgeable. The room quality was of a very high standard, furnishings and equipment was very modern. Although we didn’t use it but the property has direct access to the beach and swimming pool. If we visit Ko Samui again we will definitely be staying at Blue Mango and would really want Nam as our host again !!!

Chaweng’s beach is the biggest and most vibrant on the island, with powdery white sand, pubs and fine dining.

Angthong National Marine Park

Sailing through its lush green archipelago, the "Golden Bowl" is truly heaven for eco-adventure lovers.

Fisherman's Village

The streets of this charming fisherman’s village are lined with wooden Chinese shop houses, coffee shops and restaurants.

Big Buddha

Locally known as Wat Phra Yai, this modern Buddha stands 15 metres high against a background of the sea and sky.

Grandfather and Grandmother Stone

Known in Thai as Hin-Ta and Hin-Yai, these rocks are shaped like genitalia and attract plenty of giggling tourists.

FAQs about hotels on Koh Samui

Palm Trees and Pristine Seas

One of Thailand’s most famous islands, Koh Samui (or Ko Samui) is a tropical paradise whose palm trees emerge from the pristine white sands at unbelievable angles, and whose offshore reefs make for great diving.

The most developed resort is Chaweng, though most bars and clubs are set back from the beautiful beach, so the views are still wonderful. Slightly less lively is Lamai, though its beach is no less impressive. Both of these resorts are home to a large number of Koh Samui hotels with private pools, a popular requirement of many visitors, despite the wonderfully warm waters.

Lipa Noi in the west faces Thailand’s east coast and has some beautiful sunsets, while the northern fishing village of Bo Phut is gaining in popularity. Nearby Mae Nam and Cheong Mon both have sweeping beaches that gently shelve into the sea, making them popular family choices.

Travellers don't go tot Koh Samui for its sights – but interesting attractions include the Big Buddha at Bangrak’s Wat Phra Yai temple, and the Wat Khunaram Ko Samui temple inland from Hua Thanon.

As well as a great range of apartments, resorts and villas, Booking.com also has Koh Samui hotel deals to help you get the most for your money on this beautiful island.

I thought really hard and couldn't find a single thing I could fault. The almost rainforest like property is beautiful and each villa is a delight to the eyes. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool in the villa and the space itself. My 5 year old couldn't get enough. While the beach isn't much to talk about it's still private enough and the waters were calm enough to take a good dip in the ocean. The two things that made this stay go from great to exceptional for us were - 1. The extremely hospitable staff and I mean each of them. They all knew my son's name from the say we arrived - from the buggy drivers to the servers at the restaurants to just about everyone. 2. Their kids club is small but has the most fantastic caretakers. I want to especially call out Sunny and Nguyen at the kids club who were so good with our son that he was perfectly fine playing there without us (a first). It's not cheap for sure but it was more than worth it for us.

The resort was phenomenal. Everything exceeded our expectations from the room to the breakfast to the service. We booked the sea facing villa which had a huge bedroom, opens to the private pool and overlooks the sea. The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious (the bath had 2 standing showers and 1 bath tub) and even the private pool was pretty huge. The facility is in great condition and everything worked fine. The breakfast was very grand and had a lot of options. We were greeted with welcome drinks and since we were on our honeymoon, we got complementary cake and decor for the room. We couldn't do a dinner at the beach (needs to be booked separately) so they were kind enough to setup a table in our villa. Overall a great experience with friendly staff and amazing views.

Explicitly only the beach, not the "city of Chaweng":

Explicitly only the beach, not the "city of Chaweng": The beach is massively crowded by the guests from the hotels there. A lot of hotels claim the beach in front of the buildings as private area, which is bullsh*t. Besides there are only two public entrances ( I found) and there some people tried to get a fee from me for accessing the beach.

I really enjoyed the half day Elephant Sanctuary tour, it was really enjoyable. We also went on a half day tour of Koh Samui which was interesting, it was a shame about the people we had to share the tour with but you can't help that. Bophut is a lovely area and the beach is good, I did find the floor of the beach felt slimy and muddy but you could go quite far out and still stand.

They do not include any bad photos in their portfolio Which is horrifying when you see what the reality is the room was due to be upgraded but they are still offering it now , but you only see under the guise of the new ones that are online. It was beside a demolished property with rubble and broken tiles , you gave to cross over this to get to the beach . When we arrived the light were not switched on by the staff they are probably ashamed .

It's not the best beach to be at. Personally, I only found the space in front of The Culture Hotel to be the nicest. Other spaces, the beach is very short and it doesn't look great. Some restaurants or mixed used spaces dump their water in it when cleaning the floor and such, so probably not the healthiest either. There are many piers along the beach and it's busy with boats

Chaweng Noi Beach was one of my favorite spots on Koh Samui.

Chaweng Noi Beach was one of my favorite spots on Koh Samui. It’s incredibly beautiful — soft white sand, calm turquoise water, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels like a little escape from the busier parts of the island. I loved how quiet and relaxed it was, perfect for swimming or just lying under the sun. The view with the green hills around was stunning. That said, it’s not the best during low tide — the rocks and coral can make it tricky to get in the water. Also, there’s not much going on nearby in terms of shops or nightlife, and some areas can get a bit pricey because of the luxury resorts. Still, for a calm beach day with amazing views, I’d go back in a heartbeat.

A nice place with a relatively clean and spacious beach. You can do a lot of sea and beach sport activities, including watching the sunset and enjoying the night on the beach. There are a lot of restaurants with local and Europian cousine - low, average and higher prices, 7/11 shops, rent-a-car, laundry and other services. Grab is available on slightly higher cost. Renting a motorbike or car is the most preferable option for exploring the surrounding area and Koh Samui in general.

Great location in a quiet area of the island.

Great location in a quiet area of the island. Massage , supermarket and restaurant facilities nearby. Relaxing vacation surrounded by nature. Friendly staff at the hotel and nearby commerce. Waterfall near by.

The location is very quiet and there are no crowds on this part of the island. It’s the opposite of Chaweng beach, where there’s mass tourism. The staff in restaurants and shops around there are very friendly and helpful. Recommend to wear some kind of sandals. Main transport with a scooter makes it much easier to get around since there are less drivers available (we only used Grab twice). Activities: Waterfall, Snorkeling, Swimming, Paddel, near an Animal Shelter (DCRS) where you can walk or pet the dogs), Sunsets, Hiking, Viewpoints, Temples
