Santiburi Koh Samui

What an amazing place. We made such wonderful memories here. We got married here in March and it was the best location to have a wedding at. The wedding group rates offered were really good too. We got upgraded to a beachfront villa with a plunge pool room 310. Such a beautiful villa. Huge and the best view straight out to the beach. Buggy’s available around the resort too. The gardens are stunning, every villa feels private and there is so much wildlife along the river that runs through the property too and the ponds with stunning flowers as well. Great kids club. Huge pool- the could even cool it a but during summer. Great cocktails. The breakfast was so delicious and fresh. The garden around it looks straight out of avatar. The Len spa was magical and so relaxing. They have beautiful birds in the trees there too. The beach house restaurant was fabulous. Incredible buffets with fire shows and dancers, right on the beach. Our wedding was fabulous on the beach, and at the beach house restaurant. We would have loved for it to go later past 11.30pm, everyone was loving their time so much. Thank you for the lovely gift bag and teddy bears for our kids too. Just a brilliant place. All flat too. We will be back!

This hotel is one of the best resorts on the island. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed by a stunning beachfront and an expansive, beautifully maintained green landscape that immediately sets the tone for a luxurious and relaxing stay. The resort offers a variety of accommodations, including elegant modern villas and traditional Thai-style villas, each providing comfort, privacy, and an authentic touch of local culture. The attention to detail is remarkable, ensuring every guest feels at home. Dining at Santiburi is an experience in itself. While all the restaurants are excellent, the Thai restaurant deserves special recognition – the cuisine is outstanding and worthy of the highest praise and awards. The flavors are authentic, the presentation is exquisite, and the ambiance perfectly complements the culinary journey. What truly sets Santiburi apart is the exceptional staff. The team is professional, warm, and attentive, ensuring every aspect of your stay is seamless. A special thank you to General Manager Giulio, whose leadership is clearly reflected in the impeccable service and the resort’s overall excellence. His dedication and attention to guest satisfaction are what make Santiburi not just a place to stay, but a destination to return to. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning!

Santiburi was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the thoughtful touches—free ice cream, two happy hours a day, a delicious free breakfast, turndown service, and complimentary water every day. The staff was incredibly kind, and they even let us check in 5 hours early, which was such a nice surprise. The rooms were stunning, and the massive pool was a highlight of our stay. We loved every moment of our time here and can’t recommend this resort enough. Definitely a top-notch experience!

We celebrated our 20th Wedding anniversary here recently (got home yesterday). We didn't want to come home. The staff are incredible and so beautiful. The resort is stunning. Perfectly manicured gardens, there's a big beautiful swimming pool, the buffet breakfast had us excited to eat first thing every morning. It was always something a bit different. Everywhere you walk around the resort you are met with smiles and the most beautiful people and staff I've ever met. The only cons I have - the mattress was incredibly uncomfortable (but I do have a torn meniscus in my knee) but the staff made absolutely every effort to try to get the bed comfortable for me. The sofa/day bed in the room was perfect for my hip and knee, and the beautiful staff even surprised us by making up the sofa bed for me. The hairdryer didn't work but honestly that's nothing compared to everything else that we experienced. The breakfast buffet (highly recommend including this if you come to stay) was the best buffet breakfast we have ever had! Everyday I couldn't wait to get up and get down to the restaurant to see what was available. Perfectly cooked crispy fried bacon everyday. A chef waiting for you to tell him how you want your eggs fried. An amazing selection of both Thai and Western foods, there's even a pancake/waffle/crepe station there ready to go. For the gluten free - I am intolerant, not celiac. But the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had fresh cut gluten free bread every morning to enjoy for breakfast. They also supplies some little gluten free treats for me to enjoy such as little almond cupcakes, chocolate and banana breads, almond breads, and they also have almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, all sorts of milk. Most of the Thai food is gluten free (as they mostly use rice noodles) so the only thing you'd probably have to worry about if you are celiac is the soy sauce. But you can ask them to leave it out in dishes. The Beach House restaurant was our favourite place to eat. It's literally right on the beach. Sit with your toes in the sand while being served incredible food with an incredible view. If you see a server names Sodsai please tell him Louise Douglas (the strawberry banana smoothie lady) said to say hello! I couldn't get enough of the strawberry banana smoothies. I ate them out of bananas hahaha! Sodsai is incredible. Best personality - I could've just chatted to him all day. There is another server named New - he is absolutely precious and so so kind and helpful. This resort has it's own section of private beach. I highly recommend getting up at 6.15am and heading down to the beach, sitting on your own sun chair, and watching the sunrise. Nan (our cleaner) is so beautiful and precious. Every day we were met with the biggest smiles and so much respect. Our rooms were left spotless. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything. I cried when we had to leave to come home. It felt like home. The people feel like home. I didn't want to leave this five star review because I don't want anyone else knowing about this resort so it stays private and not so busy, but I can't do that. This resort needs to be listed as 5 stars because honestly it is. Across the road from the resort is a little massage place, you can find a laundrymat only a five minute walk (to your left as you exit the resort), and across the road is a yellow money exchange (highly recommend), the lady could've ripped us off as we didn't check but she chased us down to give us the extra 100 baht she missed when counting out our exchange. We are most definitely coming back to the Santiburi. You feel like you are living in a magazine, everything is just so perfect. To the staff at the Santiburi - thank you for everything you did for us, from the warm welcome whenever we came back into the lobby, to meeting our every request we made with promptness and friendliness, we absolutely adore you guys. You are our family now. We will be telling everyone we know about you, and we can't wait to come back to see you all again.

We had an amazing family stay at Santiburi! The resort is beautifully designed, with peaceful surroundings, lush gardens, and stunning landscaping that truly capture the essence of Koh Samui. The warm hospitality made our experience even more special. The pool is fantastic, and the beach is just as incredible—a perfect place to unwind and fully enjoy island life. If you are looking for a serene and relaxing getaway, this is the place to be. Well done, Santiburi team!
