Hyatt Hotels today announced the opening of Hyatt Regency Koh Samui, the first Hyatt hotel on Thailand’s southern resort island. Located in the vibrant area of North Chaweng, eight minutes from the airport, the 140-room resort is built around more than 600 protected Yang Na and coconut trees, offering guests a private retreat with direct access to a semi-private beach.
The long dramatic lobby illuminated with skylights guides the eye to a framed and ocean view. Beyond the lobby, guests can stroll through a valley of tropical flora and fauna, pick fresh ingredients in the organic garden for a cooking class, experience a taste of the local fishermen’s lifestyle, and capture the sunrise or sunset from elevated viewpoints.
Hyatt Regency Koh Samui has 140 guestrooms, including 24 suites and villas, all with private balconies and offering sea views.
The family-friendly resort features five freeform pools – including a lap pool, plunge pool, family pool with a whirlpool and kids’ pool with a slide – which cascade to the beach. Over at Camp Hyatt, young guests can enjoy activities from arts and crafts to movie nights.
For dining, the resort has four restaurants and bars. Yangna is an all-day dining restaurant showcasing Thai and international cuisine, and the open-air Sesun Grill & Beach Bar serves fresh seafood and Mediterranean sides alongside relaxing sea views. Located next to Yangna, Cobalt serves fresh juice, iced tea and coffee while Kube is the place to enjoy a Thai-inspired afternoon tea or crafted cocktails.
Other amenities include the spa with five treatment rooms, including two couple’s suites with a private deck and outdoor tub.
