Bandara Resort & Spa - Koh Samui

Nestled in a quiet bay in the north of Koh Samui is Bo Phut Beach. Everything about the place oozes tropical paradise, with a view of gentle, lapping waves, swaying palm trees and fine, golden sand. And right here, on the edge of the beach is Bandara Resort & Spa.

The resort is located in a scenic area surrounded by both lush nature and the local buzz of the town. The resort is located around a 15-minute walk from the charming, old Fisherman’s Village, where fabulous restaurants and street kitchens lie side by side, and there is plenty of opportunity to indulge in all manner of taste sensations offered by the fresh Thai cuisine. If a lively urban scene and shops are more your thing, a visit to Chaweng, which is just 15 minutes away by taxi, may be just the ticket.

The resort has 168 light, welcoming rooms, decorated in a simple, modern style. The rooms offer air conditioning, Wi-Fi, an electric kettle, a safe and an en suite bathroom with a hair dryer, toiletries, and bathrobes. There is also a small desk and a private balcony furnished with a daybed. The balcony is the perfect place for a gentle start to the day with a cup of coffee, or perhaps to end the day with a cold drink in the gentle evening breeze before bed.

During the day, you can hang out in the two pool areas or walk the few steps into the warm sea. You can also swap the sun lounger for a stroll in the resort’s tropical garden or trip to the gym. And your appetite for both food and a view can be satisfied at the Chom Dao Beach restaurant, which serves delicious international and Thai dishes right by the sea. This is one of those meal breaks that you can absolutely take your time over.
