Tongsai Bay Cottages & Hotel occupies a supreme location on the quiet north-eastern coastline of Koh Samui. Spread across sweeping forest covered hillside and private beach, the resort is secluded and peaceful. With a fine reputation developed over the years, it is easy to see why this villa hotel remains so popular with discerning travellers.

Tongsai Bay Cottages & Hotel offers delectable accommodation in a choice of suites, cottages and villas 86 in total. Beachfront Suites are located in a three-storey building at the shore. The large outdoor terraces have open bathtubs. Cottage Suites are scattered around the slope which leads to the beach. Most are split level and, again, all have outdoor terrace with bathtub and sea view. Tongsai Villas have a huge open-air area, with great sea views, sala relaxation pavilion, dining area and elevated bathtubs with panoramic views. Interiors are grand and tasteful. Tongsai Pool Villas are similar to Tonsai Villas, but have private plunge pools. The Hideaway and McGuinan Cottage have the best views. The Viewpoint Family Cottage is the largest, with two bedrooms and two bathtubs on an L-shaped terrace. The signature Akorn Villa has two bedrooms, vast terrace and the largest bedrooms and living area. The Nang-gong Villa, perched high on the hillside, has a single bedroom with outdoor bathtub and private plunge pool. There is also a private garden.

The sheltered, peaceful beach at the Tongsai Bay Cottages & Hotel is a major selling point, ideal for swimming. The oval fresh water swimming pool has easy access to the beach restaurant and cafe. An additional freshwater pool, shaped like a crescent moon, sits higher up the hill. Activities include canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, snorkeling and tennis. No motorised water activities are permitted in the bay to ensure peace and tranquillity.

Tongsai Bay Cottages & Hotel  has two fine dining restaurants Chef Choms, which serves authentic Thai cuisine, and The Butlers with mostly European cuisine. Floyds Beach Bistro & Bar provides more laid back dining and the Sip Internet Cafe has fine teas, coffees and computers!

The Prana Spa offers treatments in blissful environments. Highly qualified therapists will pamper and please, leaving you rejuvenated and fresh. Individual spa villas have been built for treatments in total seclusion and privacy.

Tongsai Bay Cottages & Hotel is beautifully designed and furnished and oozes individual character. Rooms and cottages may differ greatly in design but all have the same high standards in common and reflect the hotels principal philosophy: to appreciate nature and the natural beauty of this location, guests must be outdoors as much as in air-conditioned rooms.

Popular with honeymooners and holiday makers alike, Tongsai Bay Cottages & Hotel is a dream getaway. 

Luxury - Luxury hotels would have a superb level of service, very comfortable and usually spacious bedrooms, excellent food, great design and character. For us, when we visited, these places all had the 'wow factor'. A luxury hotel should satisfy the criteria of the most discerning clients.
