We Love
- The pool. A large infinity pool, named The See, runs toward the edge of the garden and out to the blue of Thongson Bay and its islands.
- The villas. Most have private plunge pools, Thai salas and outdoor bathtubs, and you can take a floating breakfast in your own pool.
- The waterfalls. Arrival is through a lobby set among a seven-level waterfall, water and foliage cascading down through the open Thai-village design.
- The spa. Melati is the Malay word for jasmine, the spa's signature scent, with treatments in private garden villas with their own steam and meditation space.
- The setting. A quiet beachfront cove on Samui's north-east tip, calm and green, yet only 15 minutes from the restaurants and nightlife of Chaweng.

Origins
Melati Beach Resort sits on Thongson Bay, a quiet cove at the north-east tip of Koh Samui, a short drive but a world of calm from the island's busier beaches. Its name comes from the Malay and Indonesian word for jasmine, the flower whose scent runs through the resort and its spa, and the whole place is built around that idea of a fragrant, green retreat by the sea.
Spread across fifteen acres, the resort is laid out like a Thai village, its rooms and villas threaded along foliage-wrapped walkways through landscaped gardens that slope gently down to the beach. The design makes the most of water: arrival is through an open lobby set among a seven-level waterfall, and the gardens lead down to a beachfront cluster of private pool villas gathered around a sunken pool, and on to a large infinity pool, named The See, that reaches out toward the bay. Most of the villas have their own plunge pools, Thai salas and outdoor bathtubs, and the resort is run with the kind of warm, personal service that Koh Samui does well. Part of a small local hotel group, it is a comfortable, characterful base for couples and families alike, close to the airport yet a calm remove from the crowds.
Top Secret
The name holds the clue: Melati is the Malay and Indonesian word for jasmine, and the flower is the resort's signature, its scent drifting through the spa, where the jasmine treatments, a body scrub, a facial and a massage, are the ones to book.
The Review
Melati Beach Resort & Spa occupies one of the quieter corners of Koh Samui: Thongson Bay, a sheltered cove on the island's north-east tip, close to the airport but a calm remove from the crowds of Chaweng. Spread over fifteen acres of gardens laid out like a Thai village, it is a relaxed, characterful beach resort that suits couples and families alike.
The design is the charm. You arrive through an open lobby set among a seven-level waterfall, and the gardens slope down through foliage-wrapped walkways to the beach, past a cluster of private pool villas gathered around a sunken pool and on to the resort's showpiece, a large infinity pool named The See that runs toward the blue of the bay. The 77 rooms, suites and villas range from generous Grand Deluxe rooms, with private outdoor bathtubs, up to spacious pool villas and a large Presidential Suite; more than half have their own plunge pools and Thai salas, and a floating breakfast in your own pool is one of the small pleasures on offer.
Dining and wellness are handled with care. The View does all-day beachfront meals, Kan Sak Thong serves Thai and Thai-French cooking beside the waterfalls, and a swim-up bar mixes cocktails from a menu created by a noted mixologist. The Melati Spa, named for the jasmine that scents it, works from private garden villas with their own steam rooms and meditation platforms, and there is beachfront yoga, a second adults-only pool and a kids' pool, so the resort splits neatly between grown-up calm and family fun.
It is worth knowing that this is a spread-out, quiet resort, reached down a rough access road and a short drive from the island's livelier beaches, so guests tend to settle in, ferried around the gardens by buggy. But for a green, calm, well-run beach base with standout pools and a genuine sense of place, close to the airport yet away from the bustle, Melati is among the most appealing places to stay on Koh Samui.
