The hype
Travelers love the pool and the staff's friendliness, but often feel the 'Superior' rooms are a letdown compared to the villas.
Casa De Mar - Koh Samui
$100-250/ nuit
Réservez si You want the Chaweng beach vibe without the thumping bass of the party strip keeping you awake.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Quiet North Chaweng location that's still accessible to the action
- Beachfront infinity pool that actually looks like the photos
- Breakfast spread that mixes Western staples with decent Thai options
En bref : A solid 4-star boutique that delivers a 5-star pool view, provided you don't get stuck in the building across the street.
Évalué par @luxenomadgirl: I spent my New Year here and honestly, the rain made it magical. Waking up in that king bed with a direct view of the stormy ocean was the most peaceful start to my year. If you need a serious mental reset, this private pool villa is it.

“I am celebrating a special occasion and would love a room on the beach side of the resort, specifically avoiding the building across the road. A quiet upper-floor unit or a villa away from the main walkway would be appreciated.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, but it's tidal. At high tide, the water hits the sea wall; at low tide, it can be rocky. It's not the wide, powdery stretch of central Chaweng.
Is it walking distance to nightlife?
Not really. It's a 20-30 minute walk to the main strip, which is sweaty in Thai heat. A 5-minute taxi or scooter ride is standard.
Does the hotel have an elevator?
The Superior building has stairs; villas are ground level. If you have mobility issues, request a ground-floor unit.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's rated well (8.4/10) with a mix of egg stations, Asian dishes, and pastries.
Are there connecting rooms?
Yes, some Superior rooms connect, but availability is limited—confirm in advance.
Is the pool chlorinated or saltwater?
It is a chlorinated infinity pool.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Happy Hour at 'The Journey' bar usually runs around sunset (5-7 PM)—buy one get one free cocktails with a killer view.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes north to find quieter massage spots on the beach that are half the price of the hotel spa.
- ✨
Rent a scooter from a reputable shop nearby rather than the hotel if you want to save ~100 THB per day.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Superior' building feels like a completely different (and cheaper) hotel than the villa section.
💡The shower pressure in the second-floor rooms can be inconsistent.
💡You might hear the 'thump-thump' of distant bass from beach clubs on windy nights, even this far north.
💡The housekeeping staff are incredibly thorough but sometimes start quite early (8:30 AM).
💡The 'Beachfront' villas have a public walking path in front of them, so privacy isn't absolute.
