Meliá Koh Samui

Modern beachside boutique-style resort, close to Koh Samui Airport.

If you’re searching for a convenient beachside location in southwest Thailand, Meliá Koh Samui is an ideal option. Situated just a five-minute drive from the airport, on the powdery white sands of Choeng Mon Beach, this contemporary hotel has got everything you need for an elegant and easy going break on the Gulf of Thailand.

Guest rooms and suites are super spacious, and all have their own outdoor balcony where you can kick back and relax and soak up the garden and pool views. The pool, itself, twists and turns around the resort in an elongated loop so there’s no chance you’ll miss it, no matter where you’re staying. And after enjoying a couple of cocktails or Thai bites at the pool bar, there’s nothing better than an afternoon at the beach to work on your tan.

Once you’re ready to ease into the evening, the Mediterranean-style Breeza Beach Restaurant & Bar is on hand to help you do just that. Alternatively, if you’re hoping to try your hand at creating a few Thai dishes for yourself, the hotel also offers a choice of authentic cooking classes using only the freshest of locally sourced ingredients.

From yoga classes and spa treatments to visits to the Big Buddha Temple and Thongson Beach, there’s nothing like a holiday in Koh Samui for active travellers looking to unwind.
