Exquisite private beaches<\/a>, chill holiday vibes and buzzing street markets – the popular resort island of Koh Samui is Thailand\u2019s second largest island. A former fishing community, the place is now a peaceful vacation spot perfect for immersing yourself in local culture, watching sunsets on beautiful beaches, and visiting tranquil temples. If you need more reasons to holiday there, scroll through our list of hot hotels and fantastic things to do in Koh Samui.<\/p>\n

Top things to do in Koh Samui: Explore and shop<\/h2>\n

1. Live the beach life<\/h3>\n
\"koh
What a beautiful sight. Photography: Rebecca Cairns via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Koh Samui may not be as sought-after as Phuket<\/a>, but you can\u2019t vacay here without hitting the beach. The island is full of fabulous spots boasting powdery white sand, sparkling waters and views that instantly put you in relaxation mode.<\/p>\n

Bophut Beach attracts countless visitors to its beautiful long coastline, while Maenam Beach is a quiet destination that provides an escape from the bustling streets. If you\u2019re bringing the fam, head off the beaten track to Lipa Noi Beach for shallow waters and soft sand. So you\u2019re a night owl? Pop over to the popular (and touristy) Chaweng Beach in the island\u2019s biggest town for boozy beach clubs and non-stop parties.<\/p>\n

2. Meet and feed the elephants<\/h3>\n
\"Samui

Elephants play a large part in Thailand’s culture; sadly, many of them are mistreated and involved in strenuous (and illegal) activities. Koh Samui is home to many missions that aim to rescue these majestic creatures and house them in ethical sanctuaries for a shot at a better life.<\/p>\n

The award-winning Samui Elephant Sanctuary<\/a> is the most well-known, with two locations on the island. We recommend you book a half-day guided tour experience to make elephant food, get up close and feed the rescues, and learn more about them through anecdotes.<\/p>\n

3. Have a thrilling time with water sports<\/h3>\n
\"koh

Any adrenaline junkies in the house? Dive into the sea with your choice of water sports. Kayak on gleaming waters for undisturbed views, put your balance to the test with stand-up paddleboarding (try it at sunrise for gorgeous sights!), or gear up for a diving, snorkelling and scuba diving sesh.<\/p>\n

For a day of adventure, hop on board a speedboat or catamaran to cruise around Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Koh Taen and more. To get your heart pumping, opt for the 20-minute Tornado Water Xtreme ride that\u2019ll see you twisting, spinning and drifting on a high-speed jet.<\/p>\n

4. Let’s go chasing waterfalls<\/h3>\n
\"koh
Take in the sights at Hin Lad waterfall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Venture deep into Koh Samui\u2019s lush jungles to feast your eyes on awe-inspiring waterfalls. Na Muang – a pair of waterfalls about half an hour away from each other – offer splendid views, a chance to dip into the waters, and nearby stalls for snack and souvenir shopping. Hin Lad is located near an elephant reserve and a Buddhist temple, but you\u2019ll need to trek in to find the falls.<\/p>\n

For a hidden gem, swing by Tan Rua Falls (otherwise known as Secret Falls). It requires a bit of navigation to get there, but you\u2019ll be rewarded with amazing views. Plus, Canopy Adventures is nearby if you\u2019re up for a ziplining experience.<\/p>\n

5. Explore Ang Thong National Marine Park<\/h3>\n
\"koh
Bask in the beauty of Ang Thong National Marine Park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This national marine park, established in 1980, is an archipelago of 42 islands. The seascape is spectacular, with magnificent beaches, towering cliffs and epic caves home to all kinds of wildlife. Jump on board a boat for a day trip to take in the view or splash into the sea for an afternoon of kayaking and snorkelling. Check out the largest (and busiest) island, Koh Wua Talap, and make a pitstop at the famous Emerald Lake (from Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s movie The Beach).<\/p>\n

6. Admire the charm of Fisherman\u2019s Village<\/h3>\n

One of the well-known attractions in Bophut, Fisherman\u2019s Village is nestled by the beach, with a lovely street of delightful boutiques, spas and chill eateries with a view. But take note it\u2019s a pretty touristy area, so expect to see higher prices. If you\u2019re coming by in the evening, check out the night market for street food and knick knacks.<\/p>\n

7. Hit the streets<\/h3>\n
\"koh

Love a good local market experience? Traipse across the island for tidbits, souvenirs and rousing entertainment. Lamai Night Market is one of the busiest, offering street performances, local food and handicrafts on Sunday evenings. Foodies can make a beeline for Chaweng Night Market for fuss-free shopping and eating, followed by a night out at bars and clubs.<\/p>\n

8. Go on a temple run<\/h3>\n
\"koh

Temples are aplenty on Koh Samui, which means most visitors add them to their list of things to do. Just remember to stick to the dress code at these religious sites. The most popular one has to be Big Buddha Temple, a massive 12m-high gold statue located near Wat Plai Laem temple.<\/p>\n

Other architectural marvels to see include Wat Ratchathammaram (better known as the Red Temple) and Wat Khunaram (where you\u2019ll find the mummified monk). If you\u2019re heading to Pom Mountain, one of the island\u2019s highest peaks, you\u2019ll find the Secret Buddha Garden of sculptures at the summit.<\/p>\n

Chaweng has plenty of hotels, but nothing compares to Vana Belle, a Luxury Collection, Koh Samui<\/a>. This hidden gem has a private beach: imagine frolicking in the sand and enjoying a dip in the clear waters without a massive crowd. It’s also a gorgeous place to be when the sun sets. Grab a table at Panali, the beachfront restaurant, and savour Southern Thai cuisine that’s bursting with flavour and spices. We love the hotel’s rustic and romantic vibes \u2013 it’s perfect for honeymooners and couples on an “adults-only” vacation.

The luxe resort, situated on the northern edge of the island, is home to villas that come with private pools and ocean or tropical views. This private retreat is all about pampering yourself in your home away from home. The award-winning Dining on the Rocks serves fresh, innovative creations on the terrace deck, while Dining on the Hill offers Thai and home-style dishes paired with wine.<\/p>\n

For an indulgent time, try rejuvenating massage or facial treatments, vitality retreats, or mani-pedi sessions. We also love how the hotel cares about sustainability and the community. At its farm, it converts waste to minimalise its environmental footprint. The team also participates regularly in events to raise awareness about going plastic-free and living the zero-waste lifestyle.

It offers 58 cosy rooms and breathtaking pool villas (including ones by the beach) – perfect for a romantic escape or a digital detox.<\/p>\n

We say go for the private pool villa, where you can jump out of bed and dive straight into the water to enjoy your floating breakfast. For a mid-morning activity, board the longtail boat at the beach to Koh Madsum (aka Pig Island) where you\u2019ll find the wild animals and Insta-worthy swings on the beach. After a snorkelling sesh, take it easy at AvaniSpa with an invigorating massage. Total bliss!

The rooms are cosy with sweet views, but you won\u2019t be spending too much time snuggled in bed when you can lounge by the pool in cabanas, hang by the 24\/7 bar or work up a sweat at the all-hours gym.
