About The Kala Samui

The Kala Samui is a boutique resort set into the cliffs above Chaweng Noi Bay on Koh Samui, hosting weddings of up to 100 guests on sea-facing decks.

The Kala Samui is a boutique resort set into the cliffs above Chaweng Noi Bay on Koh Samui. The name comes from the Thai word for coconut shell, and its approach is natural and simply made, shaped around the cliff, the sea and the wind rather than built over them. Accommodation ranges from Deluxe Double and Twin rooms to private pool villas and a two-bedroom signature villa, all facing the water or the gardens.

Weddings and private events are held on the resort's sea-facing decks, with ceremonies set up on the deck, in the garden or indoors. A dedicated wedding and event planner coordinates the day, and the standard ceremony setup is sustainable in theme, using natural and eco-conscious decor. Couples who want a fully customised design can be introduced to a trusted wedding planner. Dinners can be an elegant sit-down meal, a Thai buffet or an alfresco barbecue, with catering by the resort's Ninth Shell restaurant, which serves Thai comfort dishes and seafood on an open-air terrace over the Gulf of Thailand. Anahata Spa, which draws on Thai healing traditions, offers bridal spa packages, and floral styling and exclusive buyout options are available for private celebrations.

A cliffside retreat above the bay

The Kala Samui is set gently into the cliffs above Chaweng Noi Bay, surrounded by sea and sky. The name comes from the Thai word for coconut shell, chosen to reflect a humble, natural and simple way of doing things. The resort was shaped around the cliff, the sea and the wind rather than built over them, and its pools, terraces and sala look out over the Gulf of Thailand.
