Koh Samui Resorts

Tourism on Koh Samui continues to develop as the islands reputation grows, following in the footsteps of more established holiday locations such as Phuket. Famed for its tropical beaches and relaxed lifestyle, Samui is able to combine this island style charm with the luxury and standards associated with a world class holiday destination. International brand hotels, exclusive boutique resorts like Zaea Beach resort and classical Asian Hotel groups are all represented on Samui, defined by a blend of luxurious modern architecture combined with exquisite Thai furnishings, tropical gardens and breathtaking views.

Strictly enforced building regulations ensure there are no high rise condominiums or tower blocks on Samui, and many hotels have successfully created a symbiosis with the environment utilising the granite rocks, and using natural materials such as bamboo and teak.

Samui has accommodation to suit every budget and there are now many mid-range resorts like Zara Beach Resort offer extremely comfortable and stylish accommodation. Family run bungalow operations are now harder to find, and many have refurbished to meet the change in demand, although those that have survived have gained almost legendary status, as a reminder of the old Samui.
