Melati Beach Resort & Spa

Melati Hotel is the best 5 Star Hotel in Koh Samui! All the staff are so friendly and offer exceptional customer service. Our pool villa suite, the grounds, the gardens, pools and restaurants are kept spotlessly clean. A special thank you to a lovely lady called Fon who arranged our romatic meal on the beach to celebrate our birthdays. All the staff are so friendly and really profesional. We highly recommend this hotel and will look forward to returning very soon. Thank you all so much!

My wife and I had a 6 night stay at the end of March. We were on the All Inclusive Premium and were very happy with what it covered. Our room, the pool bar and the restaurant food offerings were amazing but what stands out is the happy and attentive staff. There were a number of staff that made our stay special, namely: Sunny and K in the pool bar, Kevin, Dew, Pad and Jiji in the restaurant and not forgetting Kyi the gardener who greeted us every day. Also thanks to Pamly for booking our trips. If you want seclusion, the location is spot on. The hotel does provide a daily return shuttle to Chawang Beach and we used Grab to book a taxi one evening to Fisherman's Village. Would highly recommend the hotel.

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.
