About the Hotel

Teasing sparkling sea views over Choeng Mon Beach, Kimpton Kitalay Samui channels the island’s tropical charm with 138 rooms, suites and villas. In this village-like island enclave, we invite you to embrace the spirit of a community inspired by the sea. Feel revitalized by five bold and inventive restaurants and bars, a spa influenced by Thai wellness with a welcomed modern twist, and our relaxing, palm-shaded pools. Explore the island on a fat-tire bicycle, and listen to island lore in the Lanai Coves. After all, Kita means ‘song’ in Thai, and lay is a reference to the seafaring Chao Lay people of Thailand. Together, Kitalay conveys the meaning of ‘the song of the Lay people’ – a tribute to the community spirit native to the milieu. It is this easy balance of nonchalance and detail that we call island living, the Kimpton Kitalay Samui way.

Amazing stay at Kimpton Kitalay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 18 hours ago

Our stay at the hotel was really good - great breakfast, food in the restaurant a bit expensive but really good. Best thing in our stay was the kids club - clean, many activities for kids - everything you would expect from a kids club. We want to thank Goong from the kids club - she was amazing and caring and made our time in the hotel the best it can be.

Perfect pet-friendly beachfront villa with amazing service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Perfect pet-friendly beachfront villa with amazing service We had such a wonderful stay here! The place is truly pet-friendly and they took great care of our cats, Hitler and Putin. They even provided cat litter and toys, which was such a thoughtful touch and made our stay so much easier. We chose a beachfront villa, and the view was absolutely beautiful. Waking up to the sea right in front of us was just perfect. The service was excellent—staff were friendly, attentive, and very welcoming throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious with great complimentary options. The room was very clean and well-designed, with high-quality furniture. We especially loved the bathroom—it felt luxurious and well thought out. They even provided a sleep mask before bedtime, which was a nice detail. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the overall architecture and design of the room were impressive. The pool was also very clean, and the water didn’t irritate our eyes at all, which we really appreciated. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended, especially for travelers with pets! Great value for money. Totally worth the price for the quality, service, and experience.

The best of the best in Samui!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

Kimpton Kitalay Samui is truly one of our favorite hotels in the world — a place that doesn’t just meet expectations, but completely redefines them. From the moment you arrive, the design takes your breath away. The entire property feels like a thoughtfully curated seaside village, blending modern luxury with authentic Thai coastal charm. Natural textures, warm woods, artisan details, and expansive ocean views create a space that feels both elevated and deeply relaxing. Every corner is intentional, every space photogenic, yet nothing feels forced. It’s effortlessly beautiful. What truly sets this hotel apart, though, are the extra touches. The kind that make you feel genuinely cared for rather than simply accommodated. Nightly treats delivered to your room. Personalized notes. Thoughtful surprises that show someone is paying attention. These details transform a great stay into an unforgettable one. And then there’s the staff — absolutely above and beyond in every possible way. Warm, intuitive, and sincerely kind. You’re greeted by name, checked on without intrusion, and helped with a level of enthusiasm that feels genuine rather than rehearsed. They anticipate needs before you even realize you have them. It’s hospitality at its finest. The food is another standout. Breakfast is nothing short of incredible — easily one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve experienced. The coffee alone deserves its own review: rich, perfectly crafted, and consistently excellent (which is rare, even at luxury properties). From fresh tropical fruits to beautifully prepared hot dishes, every morning feels indulgent yet fresh. Dining throughout the property is equally impressive. The flavors are vibrant, the presentation stunning, and the settings — especially with those sweeping ocean views — make every meal feel special. Sunset here is magical. Sitting with a cocktail in hand, looking out over the water as the sky shifts colors, is a memory we’ll hold onto for a long time. Kimpton Kitalay Samui isn’t just a hotel — it’s an experience. One of those rare places that gets everything right: design, service, food, atmosphere, and heart. We cannot wait to return.

Best family holiday

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We cannot say enough about our 8 night stay. Everything was above and beyond expectations. Our pool access room was spectacular. Highly recommend building 3 as the pool is large and quiet. The main pool was gorgeous with plenty of lounges and amazing service. The kids club was great and our son enjoyed the activities. Special thanks to Eve for making him feel so special. Food was excellent and breakfast and Boho. Great coffee as well. Fish house was nice but was a bit disappointed to be honest. The Easter Beach BBQ was fantastic. Meal was amazing and the fire show great. The beach is lovely soft sand and clean. We used the kayaks and were pleased with these free amenities. Every staff member from the reception to cleaning staff deserves accolades. It was really a stress free holiday. Highly recommend with kids as they really make sure children and parents are taken care of. Thank you for a magical holiday. We miss it already!
