West Coast
What to do in West Coast?
Taling Ngam:
This pristine bay stretching along the southwest coast of Samui is still unspoiled. Luxurious resorts along the beach offer all the facilities you might need and restaurants are available for some fine wining and dining experience.
Perfect for couples and families who look for a peaceful holiday. It is about a 20 minute drive to Nathon if you need to do some shopping and 30 minutes to the bustling nightlife of Lamai or Chaweng.
Lipa Noi:
Lipa Noi, or Sunset Beach, is the most serene and untouched beach at the west coast of Koh Samui just 5 minutes from the ferry pier to the mainland. It is the place for peaceful and quiet beach holidays away from the crowds with beautiful sunsets and scenic views of the Angthong National Marine Park and the mainland.
As there are only a view resorts along the beach you will have plenty of space on the crystal clear sea. There is not much around but Nathon's shopping area is only 4 km away.
