Before embarking on a Tropical Paradise retreat its good to know what the weather is doing and get clear on information such as the Monsoon patterns.

Known by locals as Tongtakien Bay, this small beach nestles between Lamai and Chaweng, and is a delightful spot just off the main road between those main centres. With three beach resorts there can be moderate crowds during peak season (December) but when it’s quiet – which is most of the time – it is a great place to chill and take in the stunning surroundings: crystal clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand and craggy limestone boulders surrounded by lush tropical greenery. This is everyone’s idea of a paradise beach!

The west coast of Koh Samui is the least developed area on the island, with large swathes of deserted jungle fringed beaches with the clear blue sea lapping quietly on the sleepy shores. There is […]

South of Nathon and Lipa Noi lies another stretch of pretty, unspoilt beach away from the crowds of Chaweng and Lamai. Fabulous views and magical sunsets highlight the Five Islands – a cluster of small […]

Thong Krut Bay is found in Samui’s deep south and the fishing village here has largely been given over tour operators and restaurants due to the proximity of the highly picturesque islands of Koh Tan and Koh Mudsum a few kilometres off the beach. The area is not good for swimming as there are extensive mudflats at low tide and you’ll be fighting busy boat traffic when the tide is in, but you are very close to Bang Kao and Taling Ngam with their spectacular and peaceful powder beaches if you decide to base yourself here.

Heading west of Hua Thanon and detouring south off the ring road brings a whole new aspect to Samui and delivers a nature lover’s ideal holiday area . The beaches from Bang Kao, through Thong Krut and Taling Ngam Bays to Lipa Noi are all relatively undeveloped and gaining a reputation as the most desirable area on the island. New developments are appearing, but the pace of change is much slower than the busy resorts to the east and north, and these recently built properties, resorts and facilities are generally aimed at up-market travellers and jet-setters who have recently discovered the fabulous natural beauty of this tropical island.

Until recently this sleepy little beach, just 10 minutes north of Chaweng, was one of Samui’s best kept secrets. As Samui has got busier, more guests have discovered the delights of this beautiful bay, with […]

Heading west from Bophut towards Nathon on the island’s ring road, Maenam appears to be an uninspiring potpourri of bleak concrete shophouses, scruffy bars and mostly mediocre restaurants, interspersed with the occasional top notch resort […]

Bophut beach is situated on the north of Koh Samui between Maenam and Big Buddha beach and, like its neighbours, is much quieter than Chaweng and Lamai, though still only a 20 to 30 minute taxi ride from the action.

Ultra rich holidaymakers or budget-lead tourists come to Koh Samui to enjoy its beauty and its attractions. Many people travel to this idyllic location to use it as a base for a month or two so that they can really explore the area and its surroundings…

Located on the northeast of the island, maybe twenty minutes cab ride from Chaweng, Bangrak village and the Big Buddha Beach provide a quiet location away from the tourist crowds. Often overlooked by many who […]

Lamai beach is located on the Eastern coast of Koh Samui, just south of Chaweng. Shopping, nightlife… Lamai has it all and is a fast growing competitor to Chaweng. Find out more in this article.

If you like to party or want to shop until you drop, then Chaweng is the place for you! This is the throbbing heart of the island, with the busiest beach and plentiful nightlife offering […]
