We stayed for four weeks in the apartment at the Samui Zenity Hotel. From day one, we felt at home. Nice swimming pool. We received a warm welcome from Stefany and Syril. The staff were also very friendly and always ready to help. The location is perfect for trips around the entire island. The most beautiful beaches are just a few minutes' drive away. The apartment was cleaned weekly and was fully equipped. The lovely balcony with its stunning view was our spot for daily breakfast. We will definitely be back. I recommend everyone to stay with Stefany and Syril in the large and spacious apartment at the Samui Zenity Hotel when visiting Samui.

I absolutely LOVED Goodthing Hotel! I love that it’s a boutique hotel with just a couple of rooms, so unique and special. The room was huge and so nicely decorated. Location is also perfect, right at the center of Fisherman’s Village. Not to mention the ladies at the cafe, so nice and so welcoming! Wish I could extend my stay! Would recommend without a doubt :)

Great place, stunning view of the bay, well-kept garden, very clean villas, high level of hospitality, care for visitors. A special pleasant observation - fresh fruits and flowers in the room, as well as refreshing towels and drinks upon arrival. Convenient location, close to the airport and shopping center, from the night there is a view of the fishing bay with the lights of boats. We leave this villa with the desire to return here with friends, this is definitely the best place on Koh Samui.

Koh Samui highlights

Chaweng Beach

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.

Chaweng Boxing Stadium

Fancy an adrenaline-inducing spectator sport? Drop by Chaweng Stadium for a Muay Thai boxing match, complete with a live commentator.

Jungle Club

Watch busy Chaweng from above on the Jungle Club’s chilled-out terrace over drinks and a tasty meal.

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.

This was my 2nd stay in Nova Samui Resort. I liked the hotel as it is a great "base" for exploring Chaweng and Bo Phut. Everything needed is close within walking distance (less than 1km to 7/11, SuperCheap and/or Lotus supermarket and different food places as well as pharmacy, motorbike & car rental and ThaiMassage). Some things I would like to highlight for other guests as well: The Pool is opened all day until 6pm (after that pool is closed for cleaning etc). I was in the hotel during dry season and there is no breakfast, lunch or dinner provided (not sure if this applies during high season as well, please check with hotel staff) Another plus is, the hotel has its own ThaiMassage with really fair prices. The rooms are big and with a lot of nice details - I like the dark wood very much. AC works very well and is clean. What I would like to mention as a big plus: I had an issue with the first room assigned to me, after a quick talk with the nice people at the reception this could be resolved above my expectation by assigning another room - no stress, no trouble, all went smooth, again thank you for that! What guests should know: Since the hotel is pretty close to Chaweng Beach and the "party centre" you can expect some "sound entertainment" until late evening - have that in mind!

This is an amazing hotel. It is set in a tropical forest on a hill overlooking the sea All villas are large and spacious with pools and incredible views. The service is just on another level. Staff caters to absolutely any of your needs. Everything was just impeccable. The food at the beachfront restaurant or the main Thai restaurant was incredible. The pool in front of the bar next to the beach was very big and it was a great place to relax and have a nice cocktail. Unlike many other hotels on the island, the beach here is private and accessible only to hotel guests. The SPA area and the massages were also extraordinary! The women at the Kid's corner were incredible and our daughter had a great time with all sorts of fun activities. We had an amazing once in a lifetime experience at this hotel! It was definitely money well spent. I highly recommend it to everyone!

This cozy boutique hotel has a neat garden and everything is well-kept. We stayed in the family room. The terrace faces the sea and beach, and the fantastic pool is just a few steps away. We practically had the pool to ourselves every day, making it perfect for relaxation. There are a few restaurants nearby, but if you're seeking more activity, you'll need to take a 5-10 minute taxi ride. I highly recommend this hotel.

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.

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
