Luxury Beachfront Hotels in Koh Samui, Thailand
In recent years years this popular Idyllic island has more luxury retreats than the renowned backpacking hostels and beach huts, which it was for many years well known for.
So what makes Koh Samui such a fascinating place for us to visit? For me personally, it is the Thai people who are so humble and welcoming and most of the time with a big genuine smile, second Its the food, with such delicate and aromatic flavours which is one of most delicious of cuisines, next it has to be the Luxury Hotels, with their open air spaces, amazing views of the sea, the most attentive of staff and the attention to detail is second to none.
From the moment you arrive on the island, you are in paradise, the open air Airport, with its bamboo structures and simplicity really does help for a relaxing start to your stay.
We have created a list of the Best 5 and 4 star hotels and resorts on this amazing Island.
MELIÁ KOH SAMUI, Choeng Mon Beach
5 STAR HOTEL
Escape to Meliá Koh Samui, the idyllic beachfront retreat that harmoniously blends rich Southern Thai maritime flair with luxurious rooms and exceptional facilities, located on the pristine Choeng Mon Beach overlooking the glistening Gulf of Thailand. Old-time Samui visitors will remember The Imperial Boat House in Choeng Mon, which closed in perhaps eighteen months ago for a total rebranding and renewal. Just opened in its stead is Meliá Koh Samui – doors literally installed and opened last week.
Sticking with its Boat House roots, Meliá has retained the original boathouses and added “nautical-themed luxury” throughout. A favourite aspect on an early visit? Blue and white striped beach cushions, and easily a million coconut trees. The new hotel has 159 rooms and 41 suites, plus tons of brand new facilities for both families and large events. (Planning a wedding? Consider Meliá’s 200-person ballroom or poolside space for up to 500).
A redesign of the original boat-shaped pool now makes more use of the area – beachfront pool 2.0 features a mini water park and lots of shallow-entry spots for lounging. There’s also a 24-hour gym and a kids’ club.
