Find hotels near Mae Nam in Koh Samui, Thailand

This newly build hotel on Mae Nam beach is the perfect place for people looking for a quiet beach resort only a cab/scooter ride away from the busy places on Koh Samui. The rooms are spacious, the bed is huge! and comfy. The staff is kind, helpful and nothing is too much to ask for. English is well spoken by the (also European) staff. The breakfast is great, I had lunch and dinner several times in the restaurant and all the dishes were good. I would definitely recommend this place I you are looking for relaxation on a wonderful beach in a great environment.

We stayed at the W-retreat for 7 nights on our honeymoon. This place is absolutely amazing, the staff are the most friendly, genuine people you could ever meet, they felt like family to us and we were so sad to leave. We really can't wait to get back to Koh Samui and stay at the W, we hired a scooter and drove around to the many other hotels in Koh Samui, this included Banyan Tree and Tongsai Bay I am pleased to say that staying at the W was the best decision we have ever made none of these hotels come close to comparing. We will definitely be coming back to stay at the W. We miss all of the staff at the w

We chose to take the mini-van offered at the Airport to anywhere on the island for 150 baht per person, and it turns out this saved us 300 baht from what the Hotel would have charged. We were greeted with a drink and cool towel and the Reception staff were very helpful with all our questions throughout our stay, as this was our first time to Samui. Our room was huge, with two double beds, and as well as a welcoming bowl of fruit there are some other nice touches that appear during your stay - I don't want to spoil the surprise, but they are thoughtful additions that we have not experienced anywhere else before or since in Thailand (and we had no problem with wi-fi, which was free!). We enjoyed the varied choice of breakfasts that were freshly prepared to order, but didn't use the Restaurant in the evening - it looked a little pricey for us - but there are half a dozen very nice Restaurants within 10 minutes walk. We used the free shuttle (make sure you book in advance) to Fisherman's Village and this was a nice change as there is lots more choice, and a street market in the evening - we paid 300 baht for the taxi return. We took the 10 minute walk along the beach to the Ferry to book our tickets, and when we were leaving the Hotel provided a car to get us there free of charge. Although this was our most expensive Hotel in our stay in Thailand I would recommend it as it is in a serene location and the staff and extra touches made us feel like we were really having a special holiday!

i was really pleasantly surprised, having looked at a number of hotels in the area, i couldn't remember exactly what i d ended up booking! the gardens in which the individual villas sit are beautifully kept and are home to a wealth of nature. it's a great place for families and there were quite a few children there but that didn't bother us, even though we don't have kids. in fact, it was nice to see them playing. it might be worth noting, for parents, that the sand on the beach is very heavy, 'grainy' and not sandcastle soft - this might be a sticking point for families with kids. the beach and mae nam is lovely but shelves very quickly - also a consideration perhaps. the pool area is more than adequate, though. the food is very good indeed and the atmosphere is just so relaxed, it's a perfect location for chilling out with a gin fizz and a book. the service at the bar and restaurant is a bit patchy and this is the only complaint we would have. however, i think some of this may have been down to language barrier! the staff on the whole are very helpful and friendly, though. the spa (we didn't go) is very expensive, go down the road for any treatments you fancy, there are a few places to choose from. similarly with washing - i took a small load to the hotel reception and didn't think to ask the price (assuming it would be 50 bht per kilo or thereabouts) and it came back at almost 1000 for the bag. i would have paid a third of that if i'd gone out of the resort but i should have checked! on the whole, this hotel is brilliant value and i would go back in a shot. in fact, once our stint on koh phanang is over, we might well revisit.

Experiencing by luck a special promotion night due occupancy, I got so lucky to spend a short stay there Everything near dream, from pick-up to check -in an amazing reception sala, kindness, caring and profesionalism of staff to the extraordinary duplex private pool villa for surely 1/3rd of a normal price of the best rated 5* around whom cannot technically compete such privacy and set up !!! Views are there very exceptional with a river along the villa, the beach 50 Meters away, the ocean and look over the Island of Koh Phangan nearby. I enjoyed an exceptional butler service as well brought at any wished time to the privacy of your villa. privacy but not surrounded as usual by walls !! No one could see me but I could enjoy the view around from the master bedroom balcony in the evening with a nice glass of wine. breakfast was brought as well at the villa on time and succulent, diner was also available to be delivered in the living room set as a dining one under request but I prefered to have a walk 300 Meters away to a nice little street of Maenam center where I could find all kinds of restaurants. I specially appreciated the expresso coffee machine and various coffees at my free disposal and the unbeliavable decorated shower half outside to enjoy the tropical weather and the sight of the coconut and mango trees around overlightened by the sky stars. Dream also completed by the cocooned atmosphere and the decoration set as being the only Gallery hotel in Thailand together with the amazing swimming pool multicoloured from the evening through the night by rotating lightening spots Inside !!! For sure any guest like me will definitely come back many times, I recommand especially for couples and of course honeymooners for a one life time experience

I was skeptical about the standard of this resort since I got it at a very low price. Next thing was its location in Mae Nam Beach, which never really had a reputation as the top destinations in Koh Samui. HOWEVER, I was awed by the view,and the standard of the resort when I arrived. The beauty of the view, as well as its discreet location situated beside W hotel RIGHT ON THE EDGE of the beach, is unparalleled by the resorts on Chaweng Beach. The simplicity but aesthetic value of its design and furnishing, as well as the lay out of the whole resort was very relaxing. And I enjoyed it thoroughly. Please DO NOT miss this Gem!!!

From the moment we were picked up at the airport by the hotel's minivan service, to the time we were dropped off, service was seamless.The resort facilities and each and each & every staff member met and surpassed all of our expectations. The resort grounds and our pool villa were immaculate. Every morning, without fail, a housekeeper knocked on our door to ask if our room needed service. Our villa had the comfiest beds with cloud-like pillows and duvets inside, and a huge chaise and 2 lounge chairs on the patio. There were many electrical outlets inside and outside of our room and the electricity never cut out even once, not even during storms. Linens were pristine, and there were toiletries aplenty. Every last detail was thought of; even white bathrobes and room slippers were provided. Both my friend and I were very impressed with the resort's attention to detail. The breakfast buffet had both western and Thai offerings, and service was stellar through and through. The concierge even gave us 10% discount meal & beverage coupons. The resort staff were always happy to help and acknowledged every request efficiently and courteously. Happy hour was from 4pm to 6pm and 100 baht cocktails were on special. At lunchtime, there was a krapow personal pan pizza & your choice of soda for 140 baht. Everything I had from the resort's restaurant was delicious! The resort's wifi signal was far superior to my internet on the mainland, not that anyone would actually need wifi on such a beautiful, serene stretch of beach. While the beach wasn't white sand, it was very peaceful, unlike the busier Chaweng area, and Mae Nam Beach is stunning in its own right, offering a breathtaking sunrise view as well as a spectacular view of Koh Phangan. Another thing I noticed was the diversity of hotel guests. There were solo travelers, couples, families, and groups of friends staying at the resort. I had some unexpected work to do and thankfully there were computers in the lobby.

What a great place to stay when visiting Koh Samui. Situated in Mae Nam, it's set back from the road in a quiet location, with its own beach. The greenery and villas dotted around give it a real resort feel. The staff are very friendly and always happy to help. The restaurant has gorgeous beach views, and it's a great place to sit on the comfy sofas in the bar next door and watch the sun go down. I would definitely recommend Fairhouse Villas.

This was the first hotel I stayed at in Koh Samui. It is on a really lovely beach in the small village of Mae Nam. The swimming is the best I've experience in Thailand so far. Deep clear water. Most other beaches have shallow water or are really murky. If you are looking for a beautiful location with a good swimming beach with great attentive staff choose this place. It is far from the clubs and bars of Chaweng so don't expect a lot of partying in Mae Nam. It's mostly for families and couples. But really relaxing. There are a lot of good restaurants right on the beach - just walk down either way. All in all a really great place!

Our stay at Kirikayan was perfect, We loved the charm of this resort and it felt like it was only us staying there. The design of the grounds makes it the perfect honeymoon getaway and the staff always go above and beyond to exceed all expectations. They all knew our names and what room we are staying in before we even introduced ourselves. We will be staying here again without question and highly recommend this hotel to anyone! The free shuttle bus into town was a fun way to see the normal Samui life (well maintained Songthaew) running back and forth between the hotel and its sister hotel on Chewang beach, where you can order cocktails, massages and food and charge it back to your room in Mae Nam! They would happily keep our bags secure whilst off on a shopping trip and show us the best bargain spots around town as well! All in all we leave Kirikayan hoping to return asap, it has made our honeymoon perfect. .M ps. If you speak to Apple she is the most amazing woman, full of helpful tips and tricks, any time we mentioned anything we would like to do she would have an answer with the best ways to do it. She is a truly wonderful staff member for Kirikayan and a highlight of our day to chat to in the morning.

We booked for one night when transiting from Koh Tao home via Ko Samui airport. We booked this hotel as it was good value for money, upon requesting a late check out the next day as we had an evening flight the receptionist was so helpful and accommodating, they granted us the check out and upgraded us from a deluxe room to a pool view villa. The room was wonderful, spacious, black out curtains, there was no noise disturbance, huge spacious and comfortable bed! Had a lovely Thai massage in their spa! Food was really good and good value too, happy hour every day from 4-7pm. All the staff were lovely, lovely pools and lovely beach! Would definetly stay here again!

Hotel; Staff are excellent, always there to help if you require assistance whilst not being over-bearing about tours and excursions. Renting a motorcycle is easy and hassle-free from 200THB per day. The hotel itself is one of the best we stayed at in Thailand. Decor is modern. Pool is superb with plenty of deck chairs if you fancy chilling for the day. Rooms are large, modern and comfortable with all amenities you'd expect. Mae Nam; The area of Mae Nam is very relaxed with many restaurants and shops within 200m. The big draw of Mae Nam is the beach which is only 200-300m away from the hotel with sandy beach and crystal waters. We recommend eating at the Homemade Burger joint at the top of the side road (on the opposite side of the ring road). Overall outstanding experience at Mae Nam Bay Resort and would certainly return and recommend to all.

As a family we had 2 bungalows for 8 nights. It was beautiful wandering through the gardens to get to the beach and swimming pool. The rooms were spacious and luxurious. Mae nam was very quiet, a great selection of restaurants in the same street. Lots of taxi services available to other beaches. A great location for a quiet hassle free holiday. We really loved our stay at Pinnacle.

we stayed at this hotel after a long flight from the uk and a connecting flight to samui. we booked here for one night as we were getting the ferry from mae nam to thongsala the next day and after a 16 hour trip we couldn't believe our luck when we arrived. the rooms were huge, spotlessly clean and the mattress on the bed was so comfortable. the thais don't believe in expensive mattresses and i have experienced some shockers but i had the best nights sleep on this one. the staff were very helpful and even though the breakfast was basic (i have seen reviews for this hotel complaining about it) it comes with the price of the room and is the same as any other breakfast you will get for the same offer. mae nam is about 20 minutes drive from chaweng. it is where the main night life and shopping areas are but it is built up, busy and unattractive. mae nam however, has a lovely beach and even though this hotel is a 5 minute drive awayif you had children you would need to hire a car anyway. taxis are not particularly cheap so i would advise anyone to hire a moped or car when on samui anyway. the hotel has a lovely swimming pool too. i would therefore recommend this hotel as an excellent stop off point en route to koh phangan or an absolute bargain for what you get if you wanted somewhere quiet but not too far away from everything.

We were here in low season so the hotel was almost empty and we shared the nice beach with a few people from other hotels. The hotel has a restaurant on the beach. It’s good and not too expensive (compare to the cheap street food). Bungalow close to the beach is simple and clean but it is not luxury. We don’t know how it is in high season but Mae Nam is definitely more quiet than Chaweng, with probably less restaurants and bars. The atmosphere seems to be more local here. Chaweng is only touristic. There are bars but no nightclubs. Unfortunately lots of places closed in Mae Nam in low season, so we rent a motorbike (150 Bath a day – 4 euros) and it was nice. People drive ok here but I guess there’s a lot more traffic in high season. Be very careful if you are not used to drive one ! We loved it here and stayed much longer than we had planned.

The Hotel is a perfect mixture of quiet remoteness but connected close enough to some restaurants, massage parlors, and the beach, all at high-class standard, but it still feels low-key and "Thai enough" for a twosome of backpacking friends. The breakfast menu is a bit dull, I would rather eat out next time. Haven't tried any other meals there. I would highly recommend this Hotel if you want to get away from the masses at Chaweng or Lamai and if you're okay with not having direct beach access (the 5 minute walk to the nice, long and beautiful Mae Nam are well worth it!). Great value even on New Year's!

The resort is located at the most beautifuly natural and clean Maenam beach (palms all around, wide and long sandy beach, crystal water, resorts are at the beach, but you can hardly seen them behind the palms and they organicly flows inside the palms, that was big pluss compere to other beaches.)Everest resort is located about 3 min walk from the beach, in calm, green, nise and quiet street, were is everything that you need: shops, restaurants, even washing machine. I was really glad that I booked this place, on this cozy street, it was like paradise after Bangkok noise. The owner is great, polite, provide all the information that we needed and even made a exellent tour around the island, much cheaper than the tour companies, so we saw the other places in island, other beaches in Koh Samui and this place and this beach I liked the best.

Our stay was fabulous. We booked for 1 night abnd stayed for 10. The bungalows are a stones throw from the waters edge which was incredible to wake up and you are at the beach already. The beach was clean and not over populated, we checked out the rest of the island and the water was shallow and hot, so therefore the water was not at all refreashing, unlike Mae Nam beach which is not rocky but lovely yellow sand. The restaurant served beautiful food and ensured we hired a motorbike from a reputable bike dealer. Arn the receptionist/manager is as friendly as you can hope to meet and she adds her personality to Lolita without a doubt. The rooms are basic but clean. The beds are the only let down. We had the most amazing time at Lolita Bungalows and maybe the price was a litle high for the comfort the room gave, but the BEACH, the VERANDAH and the SERVICE from FRIENDLY STAFF seemed to keep us content. Highly recommend this resort if you love the ocean and just want to relax without the hassle of noise and young fools on alcohol than this is the place to be.

We stayed here twice either side of a week on other islands. It is right on the beach and if you like to laze around this will be perfect. The swimming is lovely, the beach is clean, the beach chairs are comfy. All good. There are also good places to eat along the beach and in the village of Mae Nam. Head for some local places (Pat's Kitchen is excellent), not just the ones recommended by the hotel. Mae Nam is a very sleepy town so if you are after nightlife you won't find it here. I enjoyed it, although my partner wished there was more to do. Rooms are a good size with a wet room bathroom. Hot water to varying degrees. Air con good plus a fan. Nothing to complain about really.

In new lapaz choose rather better rooms as the quality rises faster than the price. We got second best room offered and it was very nice in good price. The top room with the direct view on the see are even better. Being honest the food was quite average but the location and hospitality of owner is enough gratitude. Small hint: it looks better than at the entrance so dont be scary and give it a shot☺☺☺.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If, like myself, you require a relaxing, affordable place to stay with great food and a bungalow that is footsteps from the beach, don't hesitate to choose Shangrilah Bungalow. It is just like the places I used to stay in Thailand and brought back happy memories and was just the tonic to de-stress and live simply. Too many places in Ko Samui, like Chaweng and Lamai, are very busy now and attract a the loud, tattooed, singlet wearing Full Moon party crowd. This is not my scene and the beauty with Mae name is that you able to enjoy all that Koh Samui has to offer and have a crazy night but return to the tranquility of Shangrilah. Thank you for a great stay.

We stayed 4 days at the Ampha Place Hotel. Our original plan involved renting scooters and exploring more of the island, but we actually ended up loving Mae Nam beach so much we spent our time relaxing and enjoying the sun and water. I woke up before sunrise one morning and got some great pictures when nobody was outside. The beach itself is a nice, long stretch with nice sand. Because it's a quieter beach, there are fewer people, and it's quite clean. It's lined with people outside offering Thai massages, and there is also a nice cluster of bars and restaurants with great good. The water and sand are nice. Because of the proximity of the beach, we did not swim in the pool, but it looked very clean and had others swimming in it. They also have an outdoor shower (one shower head) right there so you can rinse sand off from the beach before you go up to your room. The main road is a short walk from the hotel as well, and on Thursday we stumbled on a little night market not far from the hotel. It was about two blocks, and it didn't compare to some of the huge markets in big cities in Thailand, but the skewers, coconut ice cream, and other street food there was legit. There were also two local laundry services which were great, and there's a coin laundry (no dryers) within walking distance on the main road. The location of the hotel along with its price make it an excellent value! When it comes to food, they only have a breakfast menu, but it's offered all day. We did have one day our room wasn't cleaned, but this was due to a miscommunication with the cleaning staff. Just lost in translation. We spoke with the staff the next day, and the problem was solved! Another highlight is that we originally miscalculated our location and got stuck at an internet cafe a distance away. We called the hotel using Skype, and they sent a neighbor out to pick us up for free! The friendliness and service would make this hotel a place we would return to.

Nous avons été merveilleusement reçu par la famille de proprios Français. Leur employé Alexis est un homme travaillant, toujours prêt à nous aider et très sympathique. La grandeur, la qualité et la propreté de la chambre vallent beaucoup plus que le prix demandé par nuit!! La piscine est parfaite pour se reposer. Ils font la location gratuite de vélos, mais nous recommandons de louer un scooter pour vous déplacer sur l’île. N’étant pas dans un « quartier chaud », le silence et le calme reignent! Si vous chercher à faire la fête, ce n’est peu-être l’endroit sur l’île pour vous.

it was nice, but the internet had said they would pick us up and they did not. maybe if we had flown, but we came by boat, so that was an added $20us round trip we didn't expect. we booked the small fan room, which looked ok in the pictures but was incredibly small. no problem for just two of us though. we did have cockroaches every day, but it's the tropics, so not much to do about that. the pool is beautiful and relaxing, as is the atmosphere. you can walk to a nice beach and it's not far to the more touristy spots either. overall, we enjoyed our stay.
