Teasing sparkling sea views over Choeng Mon Beach, Kimpton Kitalay Samui channels the island’s tropical charm with 138 rooms, suites and villas. In this village-like island enclave, we invite you to embrace the spirit of a community inspired by the sea.
Feel revitalized by five bold and inventive restaurants and bars, a spa influenced by Thai wellness with a welcomed modern twist, and our signature, palm-shaded, Olympic sized swimming pool. Explore the island on a fat-tire bicycle, and listen to island lore in Lanai Coves. After all, Kita means ‘song’ in Thai, and “Lay” does not merely translate into the word “sea”; it illustrates a sense of being local. Together, Kitalay conveys the meaning of ‘the song of the Seas by the Lay people’ – a tribute to the community spirit native to the milieu.
It is this easy balance of nonchalance and detail that we call island living, the Kimpton Kitalay Samui way.
