An Island Resort with Breezy Beachside Appeal

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.
