I -Talay Resort

Bungalows are small and basic, but it's all about the location: right on the beach, very peaceful. We had a wonderful stay, if you really want to appreciate it get a moped (owner is more than happy to arrange one for you). Plus points for the lovely black cat that sits by the till!

We very much enjoyed our meal here. Great breeze on the beach with a beautiful view. Good food with a full page of vegetarian options available, and crispy bacon. Excellent service. We look forward to coming back.

I don't know how I have missed going to this gem location before. Located on the south west coast of Samui, it's a stunning location for watching sunsets with wonderful views out to the nearby islands. At the entrance there's a wooden bridge that spans across a lake with colourful lotus flowers. The restaurant serves amazing food and cocktails to sip while watching sunset. The restaurant also has beach bungalows for hire. Certainly a highlight of this trip
