Santiburi Beach Resort, Koh Samui

The Duplex Suites are found in the main building overlooking the pool area, whereas the villas are spread around the tropical gardens, distinguished only by their location. Decorated in elegant Thai style with parquet floors and beautiful Siamese furniture, all of the villas feature a terrace with views of either the beach or the garden. All rooms offer top of the range amenities such as TVs, Wi-Fi and some even also have private plunge pools. We'd especially recommend the new Grand Reserve Pool Villas, which boast a private 40 metre square swimming pool, larger outside deck and a more modern design. 

Dining options include a choice of four restaurants – with The Beach House being a firm guest favourite and the location of the resort’s famous theme nights. Sala Thai offers a traditional Thai menu, whilst light bights and snacks are served at the Pool Bar and The Lounge. 

Other facilities include a large swimming pool and smaller children's pool, Panya & Yim's Kid's Club, an 18 hole championship golf course, fully equipped fitness room, squash court, Thai boxing ring, a watersports centre, tennis courts, soccer field and even a jogging track. The use of bicycle throughout your stay are available free of charge for children. Not to be missed is the outstanding Santiburi Spa. Treatment rooms boast private Jacuzzi gardens and offer a range of delectable signature treatments.

Kids Activities 

Santiburi is one of Koh Samui’s leading family resorts, loved for its generous space, relaxed Thai-village style layout and one of the island’s best beaches for children. The atmosphere is tropical, easy-going and genuinely family-focused, with outstanding facilities that keep children entertained from morning to evening while parents can properly unwind.

Flexible Family Accommodation
Santiburi offers one of the most practical room set-ups for families in Thailand. Equatorial Suites provide split-level living with space for an additional child, while garden villas offer roomy semi-detached or standalone options for two adults and two children. Families wanting more privacy can choose two-bedroom Duplex Suites, and selected villas interconnect – ideal for older children or teenagers. Discounts may apply when booking a separate room for children, adding further flexibility.

Outstanding Kids’ Facilities & Activities
The resort excels when it comes to keeping children engaged. A complimentary kids club and beach babysitting service are supported by an impressive range of activities including tennis, football, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing (with coaching), plus creative sessions such as batik, painting and traditional crafts. With sports facilities, watersports, cycling and a daily activity programme, there is always something to do for energetic and curious children alike.

Easy, Relaxed Family Dining
Meal times are simple and enjoyable, with thoughtful touches throughout. Breakfast includes a dedicated children’s corner, while a complimentary afternoon high tea is a lovely daily treat. Dining options range from authentic Thai cuisine at Sala Thai to relaxed beachfront dining, with children’s menus widely available. For a change of scene, Fisherman’s Village is just a short taxi ride away and perfect for a casual family evening out.

Explore Koh Samui Together
Santiburi is also an excellent base for exploring Koh Samui. Families can enjoy nearby waterfalls, scenic viewpoints and tropical walks, visit the iconic Big Buddha, or head out on boat trips to discover surrounding islands.
