New Star Beach Resort

On Koh Samui’s Chaweng coast, set on a long stretch of beach at Chaweng/Chaweng Noi. A short drive puts you at Chaweng Walking Street, Bangkok Hospital Samui and the island’s Muay Thai stadiums. Samui Intl. Airport is roughly 6.5 km (about 4 miles) away.

This seaside resort sits amid tropical gardens and offers 74 air-conditioned rooms with private balconies, minibars and in-room fridges. Expect private bathrooms with separate tubs and showers, rainfall showerheads, bathrobes and slippers. Upscale options include suite villas with living rooms and Ocean Pool Villas (private pool) for a roomier, more private stay.

Private beach access and a long 200‑metre beachfront set the scene for sea-breeze mornings. Take your pick from outdoor and indoor pools, a stunning main pool, a steam room and a spa and massage facility (extra charge). Fitness fans get a gym and table tennis; concierge, babysitting (surcharge), shuttle services and tour desk make planning easy. Poolside bar and lounge areas keep the chill vibes going.

Conference and meeting rooms plus meeting/presentation facilities are available for events. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected and there’s a computer station in the lobby. Limo/town car service and an airport/ferry shuttle are offered for an extra fee.

Two on-site restaurants — including Chill by The Pool and Lime Restaurant — serve meals and snacks, with a coffee shop/cafe for lighter bites. Buffet breakfast is served daily (fee applies), room service runs during limited hours, and bars provide poolside cocktails and evening drinks.
