Saikaew Beach Resort
Compare prices
Saikaew Beach Resort sits directly on one of Koh Samet's most popular stretches of coastline, offering guests an upscale retreat within easy reach of Bangkok. The resort is part of the established Samed Resorts group and draws a loyal following for its combination of well-appointed rooms, a relaxed beachfront atmosphere, and a solid range of on-site facilities that make it easy to stay put and unwind. Guests can choose from three swimming pools, enjoy treatments at the spa, and dine at the open-air restaurant overlooking the beach. The rooms are bright and comfortable, designed to make the most of the tropical setting. The beachfront location means direct access to the white sand and clear water that Koh Samet is known for, without needing to travel far from the property. Koh Samet sits within a national park, so visitors should be aware that a park entrance fee applies upon arrival at the island — this is not included in the resort rate. The island is a popular weekend escape for Bangkok residents, so the resort tends to fill up quickly on Friday and Saturday nights, particularly during Thai public holidays. Booking well in advance is advisable for those travelling on weekends or during peak season between November and April. The resort's website at samedresorts.com/saikaew provides direct booking options.
