Luxury Hotels in Koh Samui Islands

Boasting a portfolio of hundreds of hotels and resorts, the island of Koh Samui has everything from basic guest houses for travellers on shoestring budgets to luxury hotels that really pamper guests with every conceivable amenity and service. Luxury hotels in Koh Samui are not just confined to the main resort areas at Lamai and Chaweng.

If they so wish, holidaymakers can book themselves Koh Samui luxury hotels in all the other key resort areas of Hua Thanon, Laem Set, Taling Ngam, Mae Nam, Bo Phut Beach and Choeng Mon. The latter is one of Samui’s most exclusive areas and beaches here are never crowded. Thispart of Koh Samui puts hotels residents close to Chaweng and its diverse draws plus the Big Buddha Statue and the international airport.

Tongsai Grand Villas perches on a hill overlooking a stretch of private golden beach at Choeng Mon. The establishment’s 80-plus well-appointed accommodation units boast lovely additions such as terraces with deep-soak bathtubs and opulent decor themed on traditional Thai designs.

The colonial inspired Baan Sijan Villa Resort is a deluxe option with just six rooms at Na Thon offering a swimming pool, a bar-lounge, a gym and rooms with nice touches like Egyptian bedding and complimentary mini-bars. Na Thon is a good choice for visitors arriving on ferries from Surathani and Koh Tao.

On the north coast, between Na Thon and Choeng Mon, there is a varied selection of luxury hotels in Koh Samui. These include the very opulent Infinity Residences, Kirikayan Luxury Pool Villas along with the W Retreat. The Kirikayan is the epitome of style and its rooms and villas are decorated in peerless style that features amazing artworks. It has a sister resort at Chaweng offering similar superior accommodation and a host of guest facilities.

The southern half of Koh Samui is less developed and perfect for those looking for solitude. The Sha Shaat Laem Set and Hua Thanon’s X2 Resort and Villa Nalinnadda are among south Koh Samui luxury hotels. The south takes the longest to reach from both the airport and Na Thon port, but even so transfer times by limousine or hotel shuttle buses seldom take more than 40 minutes.
