A lively beach paradise with pristine white sand and crystal-blue oceans, Koh Samui is a popular holiday spot for newlyweds.
When looking for a perfect Koh Samui Resort, then the Sala Samui Resort is a popular choice for a truly magical honeymoon. The resort makes the most of Thailand’s tropical weather with its beautiful outdoor restaurant and impressive infinity pools, overlooking the calm Choeng Mon beach.
Sala’s best feature is undoubtedly the private pool villas – individual suites enclosed by wooden fences around the perimeter. The villas include a sizable canopy daybed by the pool and outdoor bathroom, to ensure absolute privacy.
Another fantastic option is the Six Senses Hideaway Samui, located on a headland on the northern tip of Samui Island, and home to the signature restaurant Dining on the Rocks, which has carved a reputation for its modern Asian cuisine. The restaurant’s unique setup of nine open decks perched high upon a rocky mountain face provides stunning uninterrupted views of the surrounding islands and Gulf of Siam.
Koh Samui is also a great base for the vast array of diving, sea kayaking, snorkeling and fishing activities available both on the island and on the nearby Koh Phangan and Koh Tao islands. Elephant trekking and safari tours across Samui’s mountains are popular as are the local attractions: the Mummified Monk, Grandmother and Grandfather rocks and the picturesque Hin Lad waterfalls.
For a night on the town, head to the island’s main strip, Chaweng, for plenty of action and shopping. Start your night at the Green Mango bar where you can recline on hardwood deck chairs and listen to the latest club anthems while waiters serve you cocktails. Chaweng is also famous for its beach bars, where you can sip a local beer, have a late snack, enjoy frequent performances by fire throwers or play a game with the local children – for a few baht of course!
