Samui's second major beach is located on a cozy corner in the south of the island. Smaller and a bit more laid-back than Chaweng, you can comfortably walk into town in the evening. Read More...

Two kilometres of white sandy shoreline fringed by coconut palms - an ideal place to chill out. Bophut's Fisherman's Village is lined with old wooden houses, trendy shops and restaurants... Read More...

Maenam continues to draw those in search of peace and quiet, retaining  its old Samui character. Some of Samui' most expensive new deluxe resorts can be found here... Read More...

Big Buddha benefits from its proximity to the airport and Chaweng Beach. It's one of the most convenient places to catch a boat to Koh Pha Ngan - home of the famous Full Moon Party. Read More...

Hua Thanon And Bang Kao are amongst the least developed parts of Samui with a few resorts along the two beaches on the island's southwest tip. Read More...
