Crystal Bay Beach Resort
An icon of coastal relaxation, Crystal Bay Beach Resort sits gracefully on Thong Takian, Koh Samui, overseeing one of the world's most picturesque beaches. First impressions delight, as the lush tropical gardens layer the path to the lobby, where warm smiles and the scent of the ocean greet you. A blend of contemporary Asian design fills the open-air lobby; expertly woven rattan furniture, hues of aqua, and local art installations hint at the exquisite experiences that await. You can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves; it's a stunning backdrop to your arrival. The resort's heartbeat can be found at the Beach Club, inviting guests to indulge in culinary explorations of Thai and international cuisine, while moonlit dinners beckon with live music on select nights. The pièce de résistance is the pristine outdoor pool integrated into the beachfront experience; sun loungers dot the landscape, mingling with the sounds of laughter and waves crashing ashore. Whether you choose a beachfront massage that unravels the stress of everyday life or a game of pool tournament on the island's best table, serenity rests at every turn.
Explore the Local Area
Crystal Bay Beach Resort's prime location situates guests within reach of Koh Samui's vibrant essence. Only a 10-minute jaunt from Chaweng's Central Festival - a lively hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment - it offers a diverse mix of restaurants and retail therapy. Nearby, the famed Hin Ta Hin Yai rock formations whisper stories of local legend, while the tranquil beaches of Silver Beach promise a sun-soaked escape. Culture enthusiasts can seek sanctuary within the sacred walls of Wat Pho or rejuvenate at the Tamarind Springs Forest Spa. Proximity is key - major attractions are a mere 2-3 kilometers away, easily accessible via private taxi, rewarding with scenic views along the way. And for those jetting in, Samui International Airport is just a 30-minute drive, transforming travel time into unforgettable landscape views.
Room Information
Crystal Bay Beach Resort boasts a collection of 30 well-appointed guest villas, each designed to blend modernity with Thai charm. Standard features include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and private balconies with striking sea views. The layout invites relaxation, while spacious interiors average around 600 sq ft; a convenient private entrance creates an atmosphere of tranquility. Each villa is a retreat of comfort-either with a king bed or two for the larger family villas. Amenities such as complimentary toiletries, electric kettles, and seating areas provide added layers of convenience and ease.
Room Upgrades
Upgrade your stay by choosing from two stunning suite variations: the Seaview Villas at 800 sq ft and the expansive Family Villa at 1,200 sq ft. The Seaview Villas offer panoramic vistas that might just distract you from your plans, featuring luxurious amenities like rainfall showerheads and plush seating. The Family Villa, perfect for larger groups, hosts two king beds and additional space designed for socializing, making it an ideal haven for families. Both upgraded options ensure a private terrace where awe-inspiring sunset views serve as the cherry on top of an already delightful stay.
“This beachfront location on what's arguably Koh Samui's prettiest beach is a major draw. It's a pleasure to have access to both the resort's own facilities and those of the Crystal Bay Yacht Club. For couples or families seeking a more intimate experience than larger resorts offer, this feels a solid choice.”
