Cielo Boutique Resort & Villas, Koh Samui

Accommodation ranges from duplex suites and one-bedroom villas through to generous two- and three-bedroom villas, giving plenty of flexibility depending on how you travel. The larger villas are ideal for families who like to spend time together, with generous outdoor living areas, sun loungers, dining space and, in some cases, outdoor fridges, making it easy to hang out all day in your own space rather than gravitating towards a busy central pool. It feels sociable without ever feeling crowded. Smaller villas and suites work beautifully for couples, offering a more intimate, private set-up with plenty of seclusion and a strong indoor-outdoor flow.

At the heart of the property is a small beachfront pool and restaurant, perfect for relaxed breakfasts and easy afternoons by the sea. One of Cielo’s biggest draws is its effortless connection to the beach and what lies along it. A gentle walk takes you straight into Fisherman’s Village, where you can dip into laid-back restaurants, stop for a drink and, if the mood takes you, watch a fire show at Coco Tam’s. Simple, stylish and genuinely peaceful, it’s a place that encourages time together, then wandering out to enjoy Samui at its most atmospheric.
