Best Hotels Koh Samui — FAQ
The Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Maenam is consistently rated the #1 hotel on the island with a 9.6/10 score on Agoda. It offers hillside infinity pool villas with breathtaking Gulf views, a personal host and private beach. For couples and honeymooners, the Conrad Koh Samui is also exceptional with its 10-metre private infinity pools. The Ritz-Carlton delivers the most attentive white-glove service.
Hotel prices in Koh Samui range from around $60/night for budget options like ibis Samui, to $120-300/night for mid-range properties like Chaweng Regent and Samui Buri, up to $280-900+/night for luxury resorts. The Four Seasons starts from $900/night, Conrad from $600 and Banyan Tree from $400. Prices are highest in December-January and lowest in low season (May-June).
It depends on your priorities. Chaweng has the most hotels and the longest beach with good nightlife. Bophut offers charming Fisherman's Village with boutique resorts. Maenam is quietest, best for families. The west coast (Taling Ngam, Lipa Noi) has the most secluded luxury resorts and best sunsets. For first-time visitors, Chaweng or Bophut are the most convenient bases.
Book 2-3 months in advance for December-January stays and during school holidays. Shoulder season (February-June) offers the best value with lower prices and good weather. October-November brings heavy rain to the east coast so opt for west coast hotels if visiting then. Always book via Agoda for the best rates and free cancellation on most bookings.
