From palm-fringed beaches to lush rainforests and tranquil sunsets, a whole world of tropical charm awaits the travellers headed to Koh Samui. Come, treat yourself to a tropical island getaway like no other, immersing yourself in the myriad of unforgettable experiences the Thai island has to offer.
It would be no holiday in Koh Samui without experiencing its picture-postcard beaches and the Thai island surely has got plenty. Longing beach bums and sun lovers are spoiled for choice, as there’s nothing but sugary white sands and turquoise blue waters ringing the tropical island. Lounge under swaying palms, sip on tropical cocktails and bask in the soothing sun until the golden sunset bids farewell for a day well spent. No matter whether it’s the vibrant Chaweng Beach, the more laid-back Lamai Beach or the secluded Silver Beach, you are treated to a blissful beach day nonetheless.
The stunning beaches of Koh Samui aren’t only meant for immersive contemplation. For those looking for a bit of adventure, the waters that surround the Thai island play host to a plethora of exhilarating water sports. From daredevil jet skiing and parasailing to wonderful snorkelling and scuba diving, and sea kayaking and banana boating that make great fun for the entire family, a world of thrill and joy awaits you. No matter your idea of fun in the water, you are surely treated to your slice of bliss.
Fun, exciting and fascinating things to do in Koh Samui are undoubtedly plentiful, but your time on the Thai island wouldn’t be complete without getting a taste of the Southeast Asian nation’s authentic local cuisine. Embark on an exploration of local cuisine at one of the island’s finest hotels or resorts, including the likes of SAii Koh Samui Villas, and let the longing taste buds wallow in the blend of traditional flavours.
Your tropical island experience would hardly be complete without a relaxing spa day, especially if you are staying at a ritzy private pool villa in Koh Samui. Holidaying with your loved one? Make it a couples spa day for you and yours, and let your body, mind and soul wallow in rejuvenation together like never before. Choose from a wide range of traditional Thai massages, herbal treatments, and relaxing facials.
As the sun goes down and the darkness descends upon the idyllic island, there’s no place you’d rather be for a lovely evening than its local night markets. Shopping has evolved to be a part of the classic holiday experience, and the vibrant night markets are Koh Samui’s way of letting you enjoy the quintessential experience. From the local crafts and live music at Fisherman’s Village Walking Street to the delectable seafood galore at Lamai Night Market, you are not merely treated to a shopping experience but a glimpse into local culture.
