While staying on stunning Koh Samui Island, there are incomparable destinations and areas that will ensure guests have an unforgettable experience. Between event activities, after a day of meetings, or on leisure days, attendees will find lively nightlife, white sand beaches, and charming small towns with these five unique areas.

Chaweng

As a more developed tourist area, Chaweng offers a stunning beach with scores of varied international cuisines to choose from. From chilled-out bars to cabaret shows, and techno clubs to Thai boxing stadia, Chaweng’s vibrant nightlife has something for everyone. Chaweng is an unbeatable location for travelers that wish to experience the heart of action and activities. W Koh Samui is a quick 15-minute drive from Chaweng, making it easier than ever to head out for the night after a few drinks at the WOOBAR.

Chaweng Noi

The quieter counterpart to Chaweng is Chaweng Noi. It is a highly sought-after area due to its tranquil beach and upscale resorts. More selective travelers will find a more peaceful, serene experience though it is still within easy reach of the island’s main attractions and nightlife. Still, only a 20-minute drive from W Koh Samui, Chaweng Noi is an easy evening trip to make after a day’s event or when there is some spare free time between activities and meetings.

Fisherman’s Village

A historically thriving fishing community, the Fisherman’s Village of Koh Samui is now a popular area to walk around and explore for visitors. From beautiful, rustic buildings to trendy dining hotspots, this quaint area is the perfect choice for a family-friendly beach and local shops or restaurants. This charming village is a quick 8-minute car ride or leisurely 40-minute stroll along the beach from W Koh Samui. A morning stroll to Fisherman’s Village along the beach can help awaken and revive the senses before the day’s more fast-paced activities.

Maenam

For a quiet coastal beach along the north side of Koh Samui, Maenam has a quaint town center featuring a charming Chinese temple. Watching the sunrise from this gorgeous beach is an absolute must while visiting the island. An evening well spent in picturesque Maenam includes sampling cuisine and drinks from the various local restaurants and bars. A group outing can be arranged as a tour to sample the local foods and drinks, considering guests can walk to this coastal town in about 30 minutes.

Lamai

For a more laid-back, serene atmosphere, Lamai’s stretch of soft, white-sand beach is ideal. Stunning sunsets offer some of the best views of the island, though this location is situated quite far from the bustling nightlife of Chaweng and the Fisherman’s Village. Therefore guests searching for a more meditative space should add Lamai to their list to visit while on Koh Samui island. While one of the farther spots on the island with a 30-minute drive from W Koh Samui, Lamai is the ideal location to get away and unwind from a busy day.

Guests can discover the tranquility and adventure that Thailand has to offer at W Koh Samui. From stunning beach views to revitalizing swim in the WET® pool, visitors can spend the morning or evening unwinding and relaxing after an exhilarating event. For the best experience, it is recommended that guests stay at least a week to experience Koh Samui fully. Cultural sites, authentic cuisine, and local villages abound, with endless possibilities to see and do in Koh Samui.
