Vimarn Samed Resort

4.1(492 reviews)

Vimarn Samed Resort offers a relaxed beachside retreat on Koh Samet, one of Thailand's most accessible island getaways, located just a few hours from Bangkok. Set along the waterfront, the resort features airy rooms designed to make the most of the coastal setting, along with an infinity pool and an on-site restaurant and bar — giving guests most of what they need without having to venture far. The atmosphere here is unhurried and straightforward, catering to travellers who want a comfortable base for island life rather than a flashy luxury experience. The waterfront position is the standout draw, with guests able to enjoy sea views and easy beach access as part of their stay. The infinity pool and dining options add convenience for those who prefer to spend their downtime on the property. Koh Samet sits within Khao Laem Ya — Mu Ko Samet National Park, which means visitors pay a national park entry fee upon arrival on the island. The resort is well-suited for weekend travellers from Bangkok looking for a quick coastal escape. Prospective guests should note that the resort maintains a Facebook page rather than a dedicated website, so reaching out directly via that channel is the most reliable way to confirm availability, current rates, and any seasonal promotions before booking.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
