Koh Samui Archipelago

The cluster of islands that make up our Samui archipelago include Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and the Angthong Marine Park – which itself is made up of 40 islands spread over 100 square kilometres. And across all are pristine beaches and sparkling blue waters.

Now, the first of these paradises to cover is of course Samui itself. And seeing as you’re here already, it probably needs little introduction. And, when you’re feeling adventurous, it’s easy to take day trips or short exploration breaks to the neighbouring islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao as well as the marine park for a change of scenery. There are several options to do your island-hopping, from luxury sailboats on private charter, to organised joining tours and even ferries to go it alone. The same goes for accommodation — you can ‘rough it’ in a cheap beach bungalow, but there are also options to stay in five star accommodation on both Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. And if you are exploring the marine park, it’s possible to do live aboard options on some of the luxury boats, or just enjoy a day trip and then return to your resort, tired after and enjoyable day out at sea. But of course, after you’ve visited the other islands in the archipelago, Samui’s charms, luxurious spas and accommodation, fine-dining restaurants as well as choice of things to do and see will draw you back.

The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.
