About The Library

The Library is a beachfront design hotel on Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui, with wedding ceremonies and receptions on the beach, at its Red and Long Pools and in the garden.

The Library is a design hotel set on a 6,400 square metre plot of heritage land on Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui, with a 50-metre beachfront. The concept grew from a love of books, and the architecture is semi-minimalist, in a palette of white, red, black and grey. The buildings were designed without bulldozers so that the old trees could remain, and many rooms look out through them to the sea. The Red Pool, tiled in orange, yellow and deep red, sits between The Lib, a reading room holding over 1,400 books, and The Page, the beachfront restaurant serving Thai and international dishes.

Weddings are planned around five themes, from bohemian and tropical to a traditional Thai ceremony with a monk blessing and a long drum parade. Ceremonies and receptions take place on the beach, at the Red and Long Pool, in the garden or at The Page, for up to 80 guests, while The Lib suits Thai ceremonies of up to 30. Couples stay in an Exotic Suite, a Secret Pool Villa or The Writer, a beachfront villa with its own pool, and the accommodation also includes studios, family suites and the adults-only villa The Editor. The Drawing Room serves Samuian dishes and afternoon tea, and The Index offers spa treatments on call.
