WELCOME TO KOH SAMUI

Koh Samui is an island in the Gulf of Siam, south of Bangkok. It is famous for its numerous bays and beaches, and the welcoming attitude of the peaceful Thai people.
Koh Samui has over 150years established coconut farming. Over 2 million coconuts are harvested monthly. Fishing has also been the livelihood for many island people. You can still see unaffected fishing villages which give a timeless view of island life. Hence the fishing harbor in front of Spa Samui Beach Resort, Lamai Beach.


The “Samui folks”, as they are called, are easy going and full of laughter. This beautiful tropical island, Koh Samui, is known as the “Island of Smiles”. Buddhism is the religion of over 90% of the island. Some of the attractions include The Big Buddha Temple, rocky coast lines and tropical waterfalls such as Hin Lat and Na Muang. When was the last time you showered under a waterfall? A perfect place to relax , contemplate, meditate....

The Spa Village is in the tranquil Lamai Valley and is designed with your physical and emotional health in mind. You can relax by the pool under the swaying palms sipping ‘young coconut juice’......or take advantage of all Spa Samui’s optional extras: take a mountain bike trek, do a jungle hike, take the shuttle bus to the beach or the markets, indulge in massage, reiki, craniosacral therapy, numerology, hypnotherapy, chiropractic, healthy lectures, tea ceremony.... A great spot to rejuvenate one’s body, mind, and soul.
