- Pavilion Samui Villas and Resort

This luxurious boutique hotel is nestled in a beautiful resort surrounded by stunning gardens that blend with the fantastic landscape of the area. It lies just on Lamai Beach, the second most famous beach after Chaweng, although far enough to avoid the noisy touristic gathering. Good local and international restaurants can be found on the main road strip which during the night turns into a vibrant and very active area. It is the perfect stay for couples or guests that wish to relax and enjoy a peaceful holiday as well.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
We had a wonderful stay at Pavilion Samui Villas & Resort and truly enjoyed our time here. The service was excellent, the staff were warm and attentive, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful. Even the laundry service was impressively quick and convenient.
Our villa was very comfortable and having our own private pool made the stay even more special. We loved that the pool also had a bubble/jacuzzi feature, and having massage services available made it very easy to completely relax. Another highlight was the direct access from the resort to the beach — perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Koh Samui.
We also really appreciated the special evening programs. During the weekend there were special dinners such as BBQ, accompanied by live saxophone music and a fire show, and on Tuesday we enjoyed a traditional Thai dance performance. These little touches created a wonderful holiday atmosphere and made the evenings at the resort feel special.
If we could give one small suggestion for improvement, it would be the maintenance of some parts of the rooms. A number of the wooden elements are beginning to show wear, and we noticed several cracked tiles. This may naturally be influenced by the tropical climate and proximity to the sea. However, it was never a major focus for us and certainly did not stop us from enjoying our beautiful villa and our stay. A little additional maintenance would simply make an already lovely property even better.
We would also love to see the fitness room expanded in the future, with a little more space and some additional equipment.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The combination of the private pool villa, beach access, wonderful service, good food, entertainment and relaxing atmosphere made our stay very memorable.
Thank you to the entire Pavilion team for your wonderful hospitality. We would happily return and definitely recommend this resort! ❤️

Beautiful resort on a lovely beach. Good pools. Great swimming beach and quiet. Restaurant good food. Great breakfast. We stayed in a Hydro pool room. Wonderful comfy bed, good aircon. Very private. Pool was good temperature and clean. Smallish shower but no problem. Security good, always felt safe. Beach security great, did not have to worry about leaving phone etc to swim. Staff were all lovely and happy to help with anything. Resort is older but well maintained, lovely gardens. Easy walk to lots of restaurants shops, convenience store across the road. Taxis and transport readily available. Night markets a short walk. Fabulous holiday
