Over the past couple of decades, Koh Samui has made quite a few changes, now making it one of the most sought after tourist destinations, not only in Bali, but all over the world. Visitors tend to opt for Koh Samui for its generally relaxing atmosphere provided by its pristine beaches with clear blue waters and powdery white sands. Lounging around with a drink in hand and taking in that golden tan is all one wants to do at Koh Samui. Located on the way to Koh Phangan, resorts are aplenty to pick from on the island. The wide selection of accommodation provides for every person’s budget-be it simple, rustic hospitality to more high end luxury, one such example being the Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort.
There are six main beaches, Chaweng and Lamai along the east coast probably being the most popular choices amongst travellers. However, if privacy and alone time is what you’re into, then there are still many more hidden beaches and bays along the island’s coast that will protect you from the crowds. The best method to discover such secluded areas would be to either hire a bicycle or perhaps even a motorcycle or car or go off wandering by yourself, looking for the hidden gem that is ideal for you.
The beaches of Bophut and Cheongmon are great for those more interested in diving into the azure surrounds in order to explore life beyond the beach. Mae Nam is perfect for your family getaway. Get the kids out building sandcastles whilst you enjoy bask in some sunbathing yourself. The exact opposite kind of atmosphere can be found over at Chaweng. The beach is the party animal’s ultimate destination. Lamai on the other hand is the perfect blend, suitable for every kind of traveller.
