Samui Beach Hostel

Overview

Samui Beach Hostel is a hostel-style stay on the northern edge of Chaweng, close enough to the sand that you can walk down in flip-flops and close enough to the airport that a dawn flight isn't a problem. The rooms in its listing are air-conditioned and each has its own bathroom.

Around the rooms there's an outdoor swimming pool with a bar beside it, a garden, a terrace and a lounge. That gives you somewhere to spend a hot afternoon or a rainy hour without heading out, which is useful on an island where the weather can turn quickly.

Highlights

• Outdoor swimming pool with a pool bar
• Chaweng Beach roughly two minutes away on foot
• About 1 km from Samui International Airport
• Air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms
• Free Wi-Fi throughout
• Garden, terrace and lounge to relax in

Location

The hostel is in the Bo Put subdistrict at the northern end of Chaweng, on Samui's east coast. Chaweng is the island's busiest beach area, with the widest choice of restaurants, bars and shops; this end is generally calmer than the central strip, where most of the nightlife is.

Fisherman's Village in Bophut and the Big Buddha temple are each around 6 km away. Taxis and songthaews (shared pick-up trucks) are the usual way to get there, and ride-hailing apps also work on the island, though availability varies.

Good to know

• Being this close to the runway is handy for early or late flights, but you may hear aircraft at times.
• As with any hostel, check the room type on the partner's site before you book, so you know exactly what you're getting.
• Evenings here tend to be quieter than in central Chaweng, which is a short ride south.
