"A village-style oceanfront escape with a deliciously secluded feel, Kimpton Kitalay Samui boasts serene accommodations, a colourful dining scene and a lovely spa."

The only village-style oceanfront resort in Koh Samui, Kimpton Kitalay Samui is a deliciously secluded getaway with amenities to match. The resort feels almost like its own private island-within-an-island, thanks to its intimate, community-focused layout and dazzling views over Choeng Mon Beach and the sparkling sea beyond. In keeping with Kimpton tradition, the resort welcomes both children and pets with open arms.

The property’s 138 accommodations are divided up into an assortment of rooms, suites and villas, all of which share an attractive design scheme that blends contemporary aesthetics with traditional accents. Also shared between accommodations is a clever layout designed to let the spaces flow effortlessly together and to invite indoors the beauty of the surrounding natural world. Rooms feel serene yet spirited: the perfect place to simultaneously unwind and be inspired. The true stars of the show are the villas, of which there are twenty in all: eight One Bedroom Garden Pool Villas and twelve One Bedroom Oceanfront Pool Villas. All are utterly indulgent with their expansive layouts, generously sized plunge pools and fabulous private outdoor spaces.

Five restaurants and bars comprise the dining scene at Kimpton Kitalay Samui, which features a vibrant range of cuisines sure to please any palate. After sleeping in to your heart’s content, begin your morning at HOM Baking Company, which is an imaginative little eatery that serves everything from ice cream sandwiches and pastries to cold press juices and bubble tea. Early birds can grab breakfast at the locally inspired Boho Thai Lifestyle Café, which serves both Thai and Western favourites for all meals of the day. Later on, the beachfront Fish House (which was recently recognised by the 2024 MICHELIN Guide) is a must-visit for a delightful dining experience that has the sea (and its bounty) at its heart. For drinks, you’ll have both the stylish Lanai Bar & Lounge as well as the poolside SHADES Ocean Lounge & Bar to choose from.

Kivataree Spa & Wellness is the resort’s one-stop spot for all things indulgent, whether that means a traditional Nuad Thai massage or an invigorating body wrap. Spa treatments are just the tip of the iceberg at Kivataree, where you’ll also find a light-filled, well-equipped fitness room, as well as the superb Kids Club JUNIO. Of course, you won’t want to spend too much time inside, not with the resort’s magnificent beach (and all the adventure to be had there) right outside your doors.
