Welcome

A cliffside retreat above the bay

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 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.
