Insider's View
The Equatorial Duplex Suites are perfect for families with lots of space and separate sleeping areas for parents and children.
The complimentary daily afternoon tea was so delicious and definitely worth getting there early for!
Children are so well loved here at The Santiburi, their vacation is just as important as yours, and you can arrange to borrow a terrapin for the day to keep in your villa garden!
For those who want a bit more privacy, opt for the garden villa with a plunge pool. These are more secluded than the beachfront villas, but with the private pool to be enjoyed.
There is a big pool which rarely gets overcrowded
The Santiburi has a fantastic layout providing plenty of privacy but you don't need a buggy to get around which is great and provides so much more flexibility
Try one of the complimentary group activities that the staff set up, like yoga or sports games, as a great way to make new friends. Also enjoy the tasty high tea every afternoon!
The watermelon gazpacho at the international-leaning Beachhouse restaurant is truly something special

Set in 23 acres of fragrant tropical gardens on one of Koh Samui’s finest beaches, the Santiburi offers a blend of contemporary Thai-style accommodation in villas and suites, excellent facilities and a relaxed resort environment.

Reviews
Clare Barratt (Staff)
Sanitburi has lots to offer its guests with an extensive range of facilities, to include a kids club, golf course, watersports, tennis courts, cycling - you name it! So it's a great option for those who find it hard to stay still on vacation. The service here is wonderful with staff around to attend to you every whim, however some of the rooms are a little tired so they are doing some renovations to bring them up to scratch.

The beach is the highlight at The Santiburi and the property occupies a prime location right on the middle of this gorgeous long stretch of golden sand. We had lunch beach side and the Caesar Salad that I had with fresh prawns was so delicious!
Evi-Elli La Valle (Staff)
In my opinion, the Santiburi is one of the best places in Asia for a family summer vacation. The hotel is very relaxed and informal, so maybe not for everyone but if you are looking for somewhere low-key with great activities for all the family and warm sunny days in the summer school vacations, then this is the perfect place. The staff at the Santiburi are fantastic with children of all ages. For little ones, they can provide toys on the beach and amenities such as bathrobes for kids. For older children, there is a great range of activities with everything from tennis and windsurfing lessons to batik painting and football tournaments. After a busy day of activities, or perhaps just relaxing on the beach, that is one of the very best on the island, I would highly recommend dinner at Rim Talay. This is Santiburi’s beach restaurant and we had a delicious meal there surrounded by lanterns with out feet digging in the sand – the perfect end to a lovely day.
