White House Beach Resort

In Bophut’s Choeng Mon on Koh Samui — a leafy hideaway just 150 m from the beach and about 11 km from the island’s center. Close to Choeng Mon Beach, Bangrak Beach and Mini Golf International; address 59/3 Moo 5, Bophut Choeng Mon.

Set within natural gardens, the resort gives a relaxed island vibe with simple Thai touches and low-rise buildings. Rooms are non-smoking and come with A/C, TV, minibar, tea/coffee facilities, safe and hairdryer; select rooms include a DVD player, bathrobe and slippers.

Outdoor pool, garden and spa facilities (spa treatments extra), plus a fitness center and massage room for a recharge. Library, bar and on-site restaurant, free Wi‑Fi across the property, 24-hour reception, free parking, tour desk and transfer/car rental help; laundry, ATM, ironing and concierge services round out the stay. Wake up to garden mornings and a short sea-breeze walk to the sand.

On-site business center and an internet point, with Wi‑Fi throughout the resort for working travelers.

A restaurant on the grounds serves local cuisine and there’s a bar for post-beach drinks — expect casual island dining with Thai flavors.
