Tides Boutique Samui Resort & Spa  

Perched on Koh Samui’s north‑east coast in Bophut, Tides Boutique Samui Resort & Spa sits beneath the Big Buddha and looks out toward Koh Som and Koh Phangan. A short stroll or drive lands you at Plai Laem Beach, Wat Plai Laem and Wat Phra Yai, with Bangrak Pier and Choeng Mon Beach just minutes away. This boutique beach hotel is about 10 km from the island center and ideal for family‑friendly escapes.

This intimate property has just 14 contemporary Thai luxury villas, each with private patios and ocean or garden views. Rooms are air‑conditioned and come with minibars, plasma TVs/DVD players and private bathrooms with deep soaking tubs plus rainfall showerheads. Expect a calm, private vibe — modern Thai decor, coconut‑grove surroundings and easy access to both chill mornings and nearby nightlife in Bophut.

Take a dip in the outdoor or indoor pool, unwind at the on‑site spa and massage room, or dive with the resort’s diving club. There’s a terrace and garden, picnic and barbecue areas, concierge and tour desk to book island adventures, plus shuttle/airport transfers (surcharge) and free self‑parking. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and enjoy on‑site babysitting services (surcharge) for family stays.
