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.

We had a wonderful stay at Kimpton Kitalay Samui. The room was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side as it rained during part of our stay. However, the hotel offered plenty of activities, and we joined a cooking class with Chef Banana. He was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the class both fun and memorable. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Despite the rain, we had a great experience and would happily return again.

This was my third stay at Kimpton Kitalay and it always feels like coming home. Every visit, I receive the same warm welcome and excellent service. I would definitely recommend Kimpton Kitalay to anyone looking for a special place to celebrate an occasion in Koh Samui. It’s not just about the beautiful resort but also about the amazing people who make the experience so memorable. A special thank you to Khun Yui, Khun Pleng and Khun Prae for their outstanding hospitality and for always taking such good care of us. I’d also like to thank the housekeeping team for keeping my room clean and comfortable throughout my stay. The surprise gift during turndown service was a lovely touch and truly made my day. Thank you to everyone for making my stay another wonderful experience. I can’t wait to come back again
