Kimpton Kitalay Samui
About this hotel
Located on the quieter northern shores of Koh Samui, Kimpton Kitalay Samui brings a fresh, design-forward perspective to Choeng Mon Bay. The resort balances the architectural precision of its contemporary pool villas and suites with a relaxed, communal atmosphere. Spread across lush, landscaped gardens, the property is anchored by a striking two-tier lagoon pool that draws the eye toward the private stretch of beach. The aesthetic leans into refined coastal charm, blending sophisticated textures with an airy, open-plan design that encourages outdoor living. It is a destination that appeals equally to families seeking a balance of activity and relaxation, and couples looking for a tranquil base that avoids the frantic pace of Chaweng. Signature experiences are centred around the water and the local culinary scene. Spend mornings by the lagoon or take advantage of the direct beach access for an afternoon swim. Dining is deliberately varied, ranging from the all-day versatility of Jaras to the focus on regional Thai seafood at Talay. For those looking to reset, the Atikan Spa provides a dedicated space for treatments, while the fitness centre and kids’ club ensure that guests of all ages are well-catered for. Whether you are retreating to a One-Bedroom Pool Villa or opting for the sprawling space of a Two-Bedroom Beachfront Pool Villa, the resort offers a polished, modern sanctuary that feels firmly rooted in its Samui setting.
Why we love it
Tranquil Choeng Mon Location
The resort is perfectly positioned on Choeng Mon Bay, a stretch of coastline known for being significantly more peaceful than the island’s southern tourist hubs. The direct beachfront access allows for easy transitions from your suite to the sand, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing or gentle swimming.
Signature Lagoon Pool
The centrepiece of the resort is its two-tier lagoon pool, a visually impressive feature that provides ample space for both cooling off and lounging. It acts as the heart of the property, connecting the villa and suite clusters with the beachfront.
Versatile Villa & Suite Collection
With options ranging from stylish King Rooms and Pool Access Suites to expansive One- and Two-Bedroom Pool Villas, there is genuine flexibility for different travellers. The beachfront pool villas offer a particularly high level of privacy and direct sea views.
Exceptional On-Site Dining
The dining programme is well-rounded, covering both the casual and the refined. Jaras serves as the reliable all-day destination, while Talay specialises in locally-inspired Thai seafood, ensuring you have quality options without needing to leave the resort grounds.
Family-Friendly Sophistication
It is a rare find in Samui: a design-led luxury resort that genuinely welcomes families. The dedicated kids' club is thoughtfully integrated into the property, allowing parents to enjoy the Atikan Spa or a quiet drink at Bar Nahm with the peace of mind that children are entertained nearby.
Atikan Spa Retreat
The Atikan Spa provides a quiet sanctuary for those looking to unwind. Rather than just offering basic services, it is designed as a destination within the resort, focusing on holistic treatments that help guests fully settle into the slower pace of island life.
