Swaying palm trees and gently crashing waves await on Thailand’s second-largest island. Samui has long been one of the region’s most popular tropical getaways among families and couples. With its white sands, colorful reefs, limestone cliffs, hidden waterfalls and tantalizing night markets, it’s easy to see why. Spend the day digging your toes into the sand or hopping on a motorbike for a loop around the islands’ coconut-lined ring road. However you decide to spend your time on Samui, it’s pure paradise.

GRAND OPENING: Kimpton Koh Samui will open in Koh Samui, Thailand in Fall 2021. Learn more
