The Kimpton Koh Samui will offer guests a choice of rooms, suites and luxury pool villas, the latter of which will have direct access to the beach.

The resort will feature four restaurants and bars, a pool, spa, fitness centre, Kids Club and 124 sqm of multi-purpose meetings and events space. The hotel will also be pet-friendly.
