Best Hotels & Resorts in Koh Samui

86 places found in Koh Samui

Koh Samui delivers the quintessential Thai island hotel experience — palm-fringed pools, beachfront bungalows, and some of the country's most celebrated luxury resorts. Chaweng Beach has the widest selection, from budget guesthouses to five-star properties, plus the island's best nightlife. Lamai is similar but more relaxed, with better value for mid-range travellers.

For a honeymoon or special occasion, Bophut's Fisherman's Village offers boutique charm, while the northern and western coasts (Maenam, Lipa Noi) have secluded villas with private beach access. Samui's luxury tier rivals anywhere in Southeast Asia — properties like Four Seasons, Banyan Tree, and Six Senses set the benchmark — yet mid-range options with sea views are plentiful from 1,500 THB/night.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best beach to stay on in Koh Samui?

Chaweng is best for first-timers — most hotels, restaurants, and nightlife. Lamai suits couples and mid-range budgets. Bophut/Fisherman's Village is charming and walkable. Maenam is the quietest with the most local feel.

How do I get to Koh Samui?

Fly direct to Samui Airport (USM) — Bangkok Airways operates most routes from Bangkok (1 hour). Alternatively, fly to Surat Thani (URT) and take a ferry (2-3 hours total, significantly cheaper). High-speed ferries also run from Don Sak pier.

Is Koh Samui expensive compared to other Thai islands?

Samui is generally pricier than Koh Phangan or Koh Tao, primarily because Bangkok Airways has a near-monopoly on flights. Hotels at every tier are 20-30% more than equivalent stays in Krabi. However, quality and infrastructure are consistently higher.
