The Beach Samui
Compare prices
Situated in Thong Krut on the southern coast of Koh Samui, The Beach Samui offers direct beachfront access in one of the island's more peaceful corners. Away from the crowds of Chaweng and Lamai, the resort appeals to travellers looking for a quieter seaside stay without sacrificing access to the island's broader attractions. The combination of a relaxed coastal setting and consistent guest ratings makes it a solid choice for those prioritising comfort and atmosphere over nightlife proximity.
Guests can expect a laid-back beachside experience with coastal views and convenient access to local dining and water activities. The Thong Krut area is known for its calmer pace, making it well-suited to couples, families, or solo travellers seeking a more unhurried island experience. The resort operates daily from 7am until midnight, offering flexibility whether guests are heading out early for a boat trip or returning late from an evening exploring the island.
For practical planning, Koh Samui's dry season runs roughly from February to October, with these months offering the most reliable conditions for beach activities. The resort is open seven days a week, and booking ahead is advisable during the peak December to January period. Light, breathable clothing suits the tropical climate, though a layer is useful for air-conditioned spaces. Visitors should note that Thong Krut is best navigated with a scooter rental or taxi, as the area is spread out and not easily walkable to the island's main hubs.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Book Shoulder Season

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
