Room types to know (and why pool villas are the move)

If you’re going luxe in Koh Samui, a private pool villa is the power play. You get total privacy, romantic vibes, and that “wake up, jump in, repeat” energy that makes the island feel like a true escape.

Not everyone needs a villa though. If you’re planning to spend your days beach-hopping and your nights out, a standard room or suite can be the smartest value, then you splurge on experiences instead.

Quick picks:

• Best for mountain and sea views: Conrad Koh Samui (all-villa setup with private pools and huge sunset views)
  
• Best for overall design: W Koh Samui (iconic style, private pool villas, and serious resort facilities)
  
• Best value: Avani+ Samui (spacious deluxe rooms plus the option to upgrade to a private pool villa)
  
• Most romantic: Vana Belle (intimate setting, couples-first energy, and suites or villas with private pools)

Where to Stay in Koh Samui for Gay Travelers

Koh Samui doesn’t have one official gayborhood, so your best move is picking an area that matches your trip vibe.

Chaweng (nightlife and gay scene): If you want the most gay energy, stay in Chaweng. It’s Koh Samui’s busiest hub, close to the Green Mango strip, with gay bars nearby. It’s also home to Alpha Gay Resort & Spa, the island’s only gay men-only hotel and the best base if you want to be plugged into the local scene.

Chaweng Noi (luxe but still close): Want beach romance without being in the middle of the chaos? Vana Belle sits on the semi-private sands of Chaweng Noi, right between Chaweng and Lamai, so you can dip into nightlife when you want and disappear when you don’t.

Lamai (chiller nights, easy access): Silavadee Pool Spa Resort is near Lamai, which has a few nightlife options but feels quieter than Chaweng. You can still hit both Lamai and Chaweng easily thanks to the hotel shuttle.

Mae Nam (design-forward escape): W Koh Samui is up on peaceful Mae Nam Beach, about a 30-minute ride from Chaweng, with a free shuttle that keeps you connected to the action. Expect high-concept style, villas with private pools, and a fun, youthful resort vibe.

Secluded hillside (private pool villa energy): If you want full hideaway mode, Conrad Koh Samui is a villa-only flex on a secluded hillside with private pools and big sunset views, plus serious dining across its restaurants and bars.

If you’re the type who likes to see the vibe before you commit, some of these stays also feature original videos and creator content right on our site, so you can book with way more confidence.
