Destinations

Hotels in Koh Samui

One of the largest and best connected islands in Thailand. Its exotic beaches, waterfalls, tropical jungle, temples with giant Buddhas and lively nightlife make it an ideal destination.

So much to see and do

The diversity of the scenery in Koh Samui in just 240 square kilometres is truly amazing. The beaches at Chaweng, Lamai and Bophut are great places to relax on the fine white sand surrounded by palm trees. Although smaller and less well known, Silver Beach is also a great place to sunbathe, snorkel or even go canoeing. Big Buddha is the largest and most popular Buddhist temple on the island. The Angthong National Marine Park consists of 42 islands with mangrove forests, waterfalls, white-sand beaches and lakes that you will love.
