InterContinental Koh Samui Resort
Feel the salt breeze on your face and savour every moment of decadence when you step into this immaculate, five-star resort in Koh Samui, dramatically positioned on jungled hilltops overlooking the dazzling Gulf of Thailand. With a 22-acre private beachfront and countless awards and accolades – this resort is one of Koh Samui’s most coveted destinations.
Dining is accompanied by simmering ocean views at every table, whether you’re dining in front of the live cooking station at Amber – paired with a vintage from its 1,000-strong wine cellar – or beneath the stars at the Thai-European fusion restaurant, Flames. Look out onto one of the world’s most breathtaking sunsets at Air Bar, featured in a New York Times bestseller, and float into bliss with cocktails at the Pool Bar.
InterContinental Koh Samui Resort is beautifully situated on the tranquil west coast of Koh Samui, boasting 22-acres of private beachfront. The resort is just one short, serene boat ride from the stunning Ang Thong National Marine Park and the famed Five Islands. The resort is approximately a 45-minute drive from Samui International Airport (USM). Airport transfers are included in upgraded Packages, see Fine Print for details.

The Resort – Award-winning opulence with bucket-list views
Crowned Asia’s Leading Beach Resort 2023 and Thailand’s Leading Beach Resort at the 30th World Travel Awards, InterContinental Koh Samui Resort is a masterpiece of island luxury, where cliffside elegance meets the endless blues of the Gulf of Thailand. Spanning 22 acres of private shores, this sanctuary is designed for those who seek exquisite refinement in every moment.
Six infinity pools appear to dissolve into the horizon, the private beachfront glows under golden sunsets, and the legendary Air Bar – lauded in a New York Times bestseller—sets the scene for sundowners with live music and spellbinding panoramic views. Every meal here is an experience to be savoured, from the live cooking theatrics at Amber to flame-grilled seafood beneath the stars at Flames, where the ocean’s whispers accompany every bite.
The Baan Thai Spa by HARNN is an enclave of tranquillity, where bespoke therapies draw from Thailand’s ancient wellness rituals. Recline in the exclusive couple’s suite, luxuriate in a Balneo bath infused with aromatic botanicals, and conclude your treatment with a rare healing tea from Tichaa, sipped on a private balcony that gazes out to the horizon. For families, Planet Trekkers Kids’ Club ensures younger guests are as enchanted as their parents with coconut-leaf weaving, Junior Master Chef cooking classes, and crab-hunting adventures along the shore. Venture beyond the resort to explore Koh Tao’s pristine coral gardens, kayak through the hidden coves of Angthong National Marine Park or bask in the untouched serenity of Koh Mudsum, where the famed Pig Island awaits. From the moment you arrive, InterContinental Koh Samui Resort promises excellence.
