Melati Beach Resort & Spa

This resort is located in a very secluded part of the island, with little to nothing within walking distance. A taxi to Chaweng Beach costs 400 THB one way, and while the hotel does offer a shuttle service twice a day, it must be reserved in advance—and unfortunately, the schedule doesn’t align well with popular island activities like night markets, bars, or fire shows. If you’re hoping to pop out for a traditional Thai massage or even a quick visit to a 7-Eleven, that won’t be possible on foot. The isolation of the resort can feel quite limiting and disappointing if you’re looking to explore. As for the resort itself, it’s well-maintained. The infinity pool is a highlight—absolutely stunning. However, the adults-only pool felt lifeless and was rarely used, with no staff present at the bar. Breakfast was enjoyable, and while there are only two restaurants on-site, the food is good, though priced at five-star rates. Overall, this resort is best suited for those seeking complete seclusion and quiet, away from the vibrant energy that Koh Samui is known for. It’s peaceful—but very much off the beaten path.

We returned to the Melati for our wedding because we had a surprise engagement 2 years ago and loved the resort and the staff so planned our dream wedding with family and close friends from Australia. Air was our wedding planner and she was amazing. The wedding was beyond our expectations and truly a dream come true. Our family and friends loved the Melati as much as us and all want to return again for another holiday. The food was outstanding, the staff couldn’t do enough for us, and we now have a special coconut tree planted as a celebration of our day there. We will definitely be returning for more special holidays there.

Very beautiful, peaceful, relaxing hotel with stunning tropical gardens featuring a stream, waterfalls, and bridges that lead down to a large infinity pool that overlooks a stunning private beach. The staff are very warm, welcoming and friendly. The breakfast is fantastic, plentiful, varied, and served in the restaurant overlooking the beach. We lived our time at the resort and would highly recommend it. Special shout out to May from their sister hotel at the Chaweng Regent Beach Resort, who went out of her way to make our stay extra special. Thank you May.
