The InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort sits perched on the western coast of Thailand’s third largest island, boasting views of the Gulf of Thailand and the five islands beyond. The resort’s spacious rooms and villas are designed with traditional Thai features like vaulted ceilings, ornate fretwork, and intricate, open-air sala pavilions inspired by Buddhist temples. Baah Thai Spa sits nestled on a cliff overlooking Taling Ngam Bay, surrounded by a lush forest of banyan & palm trees. The spa specializes in relaxation treatments, utilizing local tropical elements, like Thai oil, kaffir lime leaf, and Samui Island Coconut husks. At Amber Restaurant, which overlooks the Gulf of Thailand, Master Chef Tao infuses Thai classics with his own style, dishing up rich Kurobuta Pork Chops. On the beach, guests can dine by lantern and torchlight at Flames Restaurant, specializing in curries and grilled seafood. The area’s seclusion, relaxed atmosphere, and reputation for brilliant sunsets earned The InterContinental Samui the title of “Leading Honeymoon Resort” in Asia.

One of the best hotels and resorts that we have stayed at. Staff go over and beyond to treat you like loyalty. Food is also halaal. Even if I tried to find 1 fault I wouldn't be able to. Would definitely go back to this resort

My hydrating facial by Ae was absolutely fantastic. So relaxing, and great for my skin. 10/10! I would highly recommend the spa treatments at Intercontinental Koh Samui Baan Thai Spa!

Fantastic resort: Grand View Suite had spectacular views, common areas had stunning views. Stuff had enough range of English for most communication to not be an issue. Food at restaurants and breakfast buffets generously portioned if not inexpensive. Family-friendly, we brought our 9 year old daughter and saw many other families with young kids, not so many as to be concerned about ambience (the resort demographic was evenly distributed in age, family composition and diversity). Those with kids caused no disturbances, no doubt due to good manners likely taught by their families. Room type can perhaps make the difference. Ours was a king type suite with ocean views that one could enjoy while taking a bath in a sumptuous bathtub with the ocean line spanning 180 degrees. Therefore, we can vouch for this room type. Touches of detail made for an overall pampering experience: - The Club lounge offers more-than-appetizers that will satisfy your food cravings throughout the day; the challenge for our family was how to not gain weight from the ample food available to us. - The scavenger hunt for kids resulted in a very large elephant plush prize, the size of which we were astounded. - even a kid sized robe fitting for our 9-year old was in the closet. - The little treats in our rooms and even upon saying no to the turndown service together all made the experience especially pleasant. - The (very many) staff’s English is commendable given that we later stayed at the Ritz on the other side of Koh Samui and did not find comparable quality. Lack of minimal fluency at the Ritz meant frustrations in communication and not being able to get at what we desired, but we did not experience this at the Intercon and instead were pleasantly surprised the stay felt effortless, though I know much thought and detail goes into creating that impression. I was a relatively new Intercontinental platinum member and its benefits, together with this Intercontinental location, will indeed make me seek out more Intercontinental locations in other countries going forward. I have been at several other Intercons but this one is certainly one of it’s best ones globally.

this sneaked up on me. wasn’t expecting a lot but got an elevated experience. Great room with balcony to relax on after day by a peaceful pool. No kids at my pool and in high season. Club Intercontinental was excellent. shoutout to Pim & Som O. the hotel doesnt gave anything around it and if you want pure escape this is the place for you. the resort mmight need some upgrades as it has been around a while.
