Teasing sparkling sea views over Choeng Mon Beach, Kimpton Kitalay Samui channels the island's tropical charm with 138 rooms, suites and villas. In this village-like island enclave, we invite you to embrace the spirit of a community inspired by the sea. Feel revitalised by five bold and inventive restaurants and bars, a spa influenced by Thai wellness with a welcomed modern twist, and our relaxing, palm-shaded pools. Explore the island on a fat-tire bicycle, and listen to island lore in the Lanai Coves. Afterall, Kita means ‘song' in Thai, and lay is a reference to the seafaring Chao Lay people of Thailand. Together, Kitalay conveys the meaning of ‘the song of the Lay people' – a tribute to the community spirit native to the milieu.

Spacious Rooms, Great Food, and Even Better Staff!
31 May 2025
We had a wonderful stay at Kimpton Samui! The facilities were excellent, and our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The swimming pools were beautiful and well-maintained—perfect for relaxing under the sun. The breakfast buffet had a great variety and everything we tried was delicious. Dining options overall were impressive. A big thank you to Naomi for her great local food recommendations—it made our experience even more authentic and enjoyable. Also, shoutout to Moss, the helpful concierge who assisted us throughout our stay with a friendly smile. One thing to note: the resort is popular with families, so the pools can get a bit noisy at times, especially during the day. But if you don’t mind a bit of lively energy, it’s still a great place to unwind.

The hotel perfectly blends modern design with Thai charm. Every staff member — from the bellman to housekeeping — was warm and welcoming. We loved coming back to the room each day, wondering what little surprise awaited us. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Special thanks to Ohm for the warm welcome and Candy for the heartfelt goodbye. Until we meet again!
Tripadvisor Overview
Kimpton Kitalay Samui is a resort with an enchanting fusion of contemporary design and traditional accents. Kimpton Kitalay Samui conjures the romance of a village intimately connected to the sea. Enjoy any of our 138 rooms, suites, or villas, many with their own private pool, access to a swimming pool, and views of the sea. Our 500-square-metre Kids Club celebrates adventure and a taste of village living, and distinctive restaurants and bars provide irresistible culinary curations all day.
Our ATOL number is T7365 and your protection begins as soon as you’re booked. If a supplier fails, you’ll get your money back, and you can’t get stranded abroad because ATOL ensures you’re brought home at no extra cost.
Payments safeguarded in a Trust Account
The airline is paid when you book and the rest of your payments are held in a trust account, which is controlled by the Travel Trust Association. This is much safer than an ABTA bond, because your money can only be released to pay the suppliers for each element of your holiday, and and your ATOL protection safeguards the whole holiday. Our TTA membership number is U7488.
