Book the Kimpton Kitalay Samui with VIP Benefits

Teasing sparkling sea views over Choeng Mon Beach, Kimpton Kitalay Samui channels the island's tropical charm with 138 rooms, suites and villas.

Feel revitalised by five bold and inventive restaurants and bars, a spa influenced by Thai wellness with a welcomed modern twist, and the relaxing, palm-shaded pools. Explore the island on a fat-tire bicycle, and listen to island lore in the Lanai Coves. Afterall, Kita means 'song' in Thai, and lay is a reference to the seafaring Chao Lay people of Thailand.
