Sala Samui Resort & Spa, Choengmon

Sala Samui Resort & Spa, Choengmon

The Sala Samui Resort & Spa, Choengmon is a fairly new resort located at Choengmon beach, one of our favorite beaches on the island and around the corner of where we live in the northeastern corner of Koh Samui. They openened their doors almost to the date 7 years ago, 8th August 2009, and everything still looks sparkling and well maintained.

With 53 out of 69 total of villas and suites featuring their own private pool, plus there are two big shared swiming pools at the beach. It's a nice getaway in quiet surroundings with still a lot of things to do within hand reach. 

Choengmon is not a thrilling and active village but there are plenty of nice restaurants and shops to offer a variety of options in case you want a change of scenery from the resort and it's activities and restaurants and many attractions are nearby, like Big Buddha or Wat Plai Laem. Chaweng with all it's hustle and bustle is also just some 10 to 15 minutes away, at most and Fisherman's Village is not much further away, in the opposite direction.

Sala Samui Resort & Spa, Choengmon caters to families but just as good to people looking for a romantic getaway. The reviews across the board are excellent and currently I would state without much doubt that the Sala Samui is your best choice in the Choengmon area.

With state of the art facilities and great hospitality it's time to dip into some pampering and relaxation time. A highly recommend stay in a 5 start environment for reasobale prices in this price segment.

Portofino Baywater Resort, Choengmon

The Portofino Baywater Resort, Choengmon is the latest addition in Choengmon when it opened it's doors in March 2015 and since we live nearby, we have seen it being build from scratch, over the years.

Akaryn, Choengmon

Akaryn, Choengmon

We're back in the life of luxury and with the Akaryn you will be in good hands. As the hotel calls it " We call it intuitive luxury. It means we know what you want, almost before you do. It means the freedom to indulge indulgence, restore wellness, explore romance and embrace nature. It means service that need not shout its name, and ‘wow factor’ in lower case."

The location in Hanuman Bay, in Choengmon, is perfectly chosen since it's a very secluded bay with only the Akaryn and the beach has a 70 meter sand bottom area surrounded by spectacular granite headlands. Seclusion is your to enjoy!

The 52 stand-alone suites and villas offer all that can be expected on tropical modern, full of light and space, graced with private pools and mature gardens, pointed towards the turquoise arc of the bay. Wifi is available throughout the resort but was that even a doubt at all?

The prices are accordingly but currently they run an amazing special deal. Enjoy this secluded enclave to the fullest and get some class A relaxation and rest.

Melati Beach Resort, Choengmon

We're moving into the higher end of the luxury resorts with the Melati Resort. The bungalows, all 77 of them, including a remarkable presidential villa with around 250 square meters of space, are in the higher price segment but with that come all mod cons! There are also two restaurants on the premises in case you get hungry.

More than 70% of all rooms have a private pool and if that isn't enough, the resort is located at a private beach, hidden away in a Thongson Bay.

The architecture of the Melati has elements of traditional Southern Thai styles incorporating important parts of feng shui combined with modern day chic, thus creating a perfect harmony to pampering for guests at every level. A truelly 5 star experience indeed.

Located just 10 minutes away from Samui airport and about 15 minutes to the hustle and bustle of Chaweng.

Karma Resort, Choengmon

Karma Resort, Choengmon

The Karma Resort is located at the road between Chaweng and Choengmon and I regularly pass by here during one of my runs, a 7.5km loop I run.

The place is fairly new and is located on one of fave roads on Koh Samui, although too much has been build on this road unfortunately. The views however are fantastic and breathtaking!

It's a short taxi ride into Chaweng or to Choengmon even shorter, if you need some action or are looking for a restaurant.

The villa-style resort sits on a gentle hillside, offering stunning views of the Gulf of Thailand. All 36 villas are spacious and beautifully furnished with Thai silks and handcrafted works, and are fitted with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. Guests can take advantage of the many on-site facilities including the Lounge Bar, Poolside Bar, library and complimentary shuttle service. Karma Samui offers a unique retreat of luxury and a relaxed environment, ensuring a memorable stay.

Up scale accommodation and a quiet area but still close to shopping and action, Karma Resort may be just down your alley.

Choengmon Beach Hotel & Spa, Choengmon

Choengmon Beach Hotel & Spa, Choengmon

This fairly new hotel in Choengmon is located on my favourite beach and bay of the island, as stated regularly in my various blogs.

Choengmon bay is just nice and relaxed and plenty of pictures can be found on my Samui info and weather blog of exactly this bay. Nice sand, in general very quiet and very shallow water which makes it perfect for kids to play in the water.

Back to the Choengmon Beach Hotel though, it's exactly their part of the beach that we always use when we go and visit Choengmon!

The hotel is a beautiful, newly-opened bungalows and hotel resort, featuring a large swimming pool, tropical gardens and two restaurants. A comfortable, relaxing ambiance is created by a unique blend of the same old-fashioned simple, traditional and personalized hospitality of the owner, combined with modern facilities and amenities. Friendly, well-trained staff pamper guests with professional, personalized service.

Choengmon Beach Hotel comprises 28 Beach Bungalow as well as three low-rise accommodation wings with spectacular view of Choengmon bay.

The rooms in the low rise are basic but spacious, the restaurants give excellent choice and value for Western and Thai dishes but the breakfast is not much to write home about.

The bungalows on the beach have been around for a while.

There are plenty of restaurants on the beach and in the small village of Choengmon.

All in all an excellent budget hotel with friendly staff in a good location, near Big Buddha and not far away from Chaweng if you need to see some people or want some action.

Located only seven kilometers from Samui Airport, the Q Signature Samui Hotel is a modern luxurious spa and hotel. The Q Signature Samui Hotel comprises of 20 elegant Thai design villas with private pools, 55 apartments and 3 communal pools.

The Samudra Retreat Samui Hotel is also part of this complex and was also known as The Peninsula. In total they host 132 rooms and villas.

The location is really nice and fairly secluded, it's build on a hill and golf carts take you around the place. There's also a nice beach in front of the resort and around the corner of this beach, in walking distance over the beach is Choengmon Bay, in my opinion the nicest bay of Samui island. This bay hosts plenty of restaurants and bars which can give a nice break to the furthermore excellent restaurants at Q signature;

The Royal Siam restaurant, the Aow Thai Terrace, The Royal Pool Bar and the Royal Mountain Pool Bar.

It's a vast complex with all necessary and required amenities and beautifully located in Choengmon Bay.

The White House, Choengmon Beach

The White House on Choengmon Beach

Is a very romantic and nice hotel, located at my favorite beach on Samui, the Choengmon Beach.

Various friends have stayed there over the years and they were always very satisfied with the hotel.

The setting is good and they have a beautiful garden with lots of exotic flowers. The hotel is located directly at the beach in Choengmon Bay.

Their new rates however don't show them to be very child friendly, a child under 12 is charged 400,-Baht per night and a second child under 12 sharing the room (with an extra bed) is charged 1.000,-Baht per night.

The Imperial Boathouse, Choengmon

The Imperial Boathouse in Choengmon

Another hotel with fond memories for me. This was the first hotel on Samui that I worked at, in the local dive shop and this is also where I met my wife.

It's part of the Imperial hotel chain that hosts the Imperial Samui Hotel in Chaweng and the Imperial Queen's Park Hotel in Bangkok.

Besides these details, the hotel is superb and my sister stayed in one of their re-build boats, which I can highly recommend.

These boats are fantastic and consist of old Bangkok rice barges that are re-build into apartments. They make for a very romantic feeling to the room.

All in all they have 210 rooms including 11 poolside terrace, 115 premier, 8 honeymoon suite, 42 superior and 34 boat suites, all rooms have a bathroom with bathtub, hair dryer, 220V electrical points, complimentary bathroom toiletries, personal safe, mini bar, color TV with in house videos and satellite reception, private large terrace with garden or pool view. Coffee and tea making facilities in all rooms. Non-smoking rooms are available.

It's located in Choengmon, my most preferred bay on Samui, a bay where we still go on a very regular base, to play with our children.

The Boathouse supports also 'The Captain's Choice' restaurant, which has a magnificent view over the Choengmon Bay and on top of that, the food is delicious.

With two large swimming pools and direct access to the beach, the water lovers will enjoy the setting to the max. Especially the large pool next to the beach is a beauty, build in the shape of a boat!

Another plus in my opinion, the location at Choengmon Bay, quiet and relaxed and still, not too far away from Chaweng. Outside the hotel there are plenty of restaurant choices both on the beach and in Choengmon itself.

The Imperial Boathouse comes highly recommended by me.
