Whether you’re seeking a peaceful weekend in a private beachside bungalow or looking to party until the sun comes up, Ko Samui has you covered. Head to Chaweng Beach for vibrant nightlife or go for a swim at Lamai Beach. While both shores offer thrilling water sports, ample accommodations and top-notch amenities (including relaxing massages on the beach), Lamai is more family-friendly. If rest and relaxation is your goal, consider laying down your towel at Silver Beach or Maenam Beach. Calmer and more private than their boisterous neighbors, these tranquil stretches of sand are best for swimming, snorkeling and sea kayaking.
