Latest reviews on Ko Samui's beaches

The Ritz Carlton
10 John Sullivan

We stayed at the resort for a week and found everything about it to be absolutely amazing. The resort had a stunning infinity pool with a swim-up bar where we could enjoy half price cocktails twice a day, and the views overlooking Ko Pha Ngan were fantastic. The food was also outstanding, but what truly stood out about the Melati was the staff - they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. My family is already eager to come back, and next time we plan on staying even longer.

East Tien Beach

This secluded beach is perfect for swimming and snorkeling, with beautiful coral reefs to explore. The shoreline can be rocky during low tide, but remains visible even at high tide. The area near The Sanctuary resort is ideal for sunbathing and swimming, with detox and yoga programs available. The resort also offers a spa with steam room and massage sessions, as well as a beachside restaurant and bar. For dining options, the restaurant "Spice" offers traditional Thai and seafood dishes. A steep stairway at the corner of Had Tien beach leads to Had Yuan beach, where a hiking trail offers stunning views of Koh Phangan. The hike to Had Rin on the other side of the island takes about 1.5 hours.

Coconut Tree
10 Liana Marquez

This tranquil and stunning beach is truly a sight to behold. However, it is advised to steer clear of the coconut tree and avoid any attempts at climbing it. This tree has stood the test of time and must be quite ancient. It's a shame, but safety should always be the top priority. 😅😅
