“Family rooms are fantastic and this has to be one of the best hotel rooms we’ve stayed in in terms of layout - large bathroom, walk-in wardrobe with loads of storage, bottles of water supplied daily, comfortable beds and separate air con for the master and kids sleeping area. Kids room was fantastic with the themed jungle room and sliding door which meant they slept very well.” – TripAdvisor Review (August 2025)
Wake up to the sound of waves and be on the sand minutes after your buffet breakfast. Our beachfront setting puts you at the heart of Bo Phut, with Fisherman’s Village, CocoTam’s, and family-friendly restaurants right across the road.

“We stayed at the resort for 6 nights with our kids, and it was truly one of the best family vacations we've ever had. The pool is large, clean, and perfect for both kids and adults. The Kids Club was a huge highlight – our children absolutely loved it and were excited to go every morning. The staff there were kind, creative, and fully engaged.” – Google Review (June 2025)
Meals are stress-free when there’s something for everyone. Start your day with a buffet at Fisherman’s Table and enjoy all-day Thai and international favorites at Essence. Select evenings, themed nights like Circus Night, Neon Night and Movie Night bring entertainment and culture to the table. And when it’s time to unwind, families can head to The Lazy Coconut for smoothies, mocktails, or cocktails by the beach.

Every family trip is made better with a little planning. Over the years, many of our guests have shared how the right timing, preparation, and travel know-how helped them make the most of their stay. Here are three of the top tips they recommend for a stress-free holiday in Koh Samui:
Koh Samui is beautiful year-round, but families often find December through August to be the sweetest spot for travel, thanks to calmer seas and sunny skies. If you’d like to avoid the busiest times, consider visiting between March and June, when the island is still warm but a little quieter.
Don’t forget that the tropical climate in Koh Samui means it can be hot and humid. Light, breathable clothes and swimsuits are a must, along with reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent. Most essentials are available nearby, but packing a few familiar snacks can be a lifesaver for picky eaters.
Arriving with kids in tow? You’ll be happy to know our resort is just 15 minutes from Samui International Airport. Once here, you can walk to Fisherman’s Village or take short rides out for day trips. Our front desk team is always available to arrange family-friendly drivers or excursions, so you don’t have to worry about logistics.
The best family holidays balance adventure with ease. Thanks to a little preparation, you can spend less time stressing and more time making core memories, whether that’s splashing in the pool, sharing Thai dishes together, or simply watching an epic Samui sunset.
The best family holidays balance ease for parents with adventure for kids. Bo Phut Beach is one of the few places in Koh Samui that truly offers both. With calm waters, safe sandy shores, and family-friendly attractions just steps away, it is the ideal setting to create lasting memories together.
To make the most of it, families need a resort that is as welcoming and convenient as the beach itself. Holiday Inn Resort Samui Bophut Beach delivers exactly that, with kid-friendly amenities, spacious rooms, and thoughtful service designed to make travel easier and more joyful without breaking the budget.
