What it’s good at
Listed
An on-site crab rehabilitation project supports local fishermen and marine conservation efforts.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Chaweng Noi has calm water and quiet sand, while central Chaweng's lively nightlife is a five-minute drive away.
The rooms
Rooms come in light pastels with separate bathtubs, and private balconies look out across the gardens or the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The free-form swimming pool curves right along the sand of Chaweng Noi, edged by palms and cushioned loungers.
The spa
Treatment suites at Glow Spa have sunken stone baths for floral soaks and wooden beds for Thai bodywork.
The gym
The 24-hour gym looks out on tropical greenery through arched windows, and an outdoor hard tennis court sits nearby.
Restaurant
Long Talay
The beachfront dining room opens to sea views through folding glass doors, serving Southern Thai curries and fresh seafood.
At the table
Blue Monkey pours cocktails from a bamboo deck on the sand, and private candlelit dinners sit along the beach.
How it began
Originally opened in 1987 as the Imperial Samui, it was one of the first resorts built on Chaweng Noi.
