At a glance
W Koh Samui sits on a small peninsula between Maenam and Bo Phut on the north coast of the island, with 74 private pool villas set across a hillside that faces both west toward sunset and east toward sunrise. The position gives the resort two distinct beach settings and panoramic views across the Gulf of Thailand.
The resort was designed by award-winning designer Carl Almeida of P49 Design, and the W brand’s energy runs through everything here, from the nightly fire shows and DJ sets at WOOBAR to the Japanese restaurant Namu overlooking the water.
Every villa has a private pool and a king-sized bed with 350-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and a goose-down duvet. The days are built around the beach, the pools and AWAY Spa. The evenings take care of themselves.
Koh Samui has an established and growing LGBTQ+ travel scene, concentrated in Chaweng and Bo Phut, both within easy reach of the resort. Complimentary daily shuttles run to central Chaweng for those wanting to explore the island.
