There are many options for people that are interested in going out when coming to Samui.
Chaweng
Chaweng is the beach on Koh Samui where you will find most bars, discos, clubs and pubs. This is where you should head if you feel like a party. Chaweng Beach Road is 6-7 km long and is packed with pubs, bars, clubs and restaurants both on the beach front and the opposite side.
Live music and live performances is what you can enjoy among other things on the Irish pub Tropical Murphy's (central part of Chaweng Beach Road) and Coco Blues Company (the northern part of Chaweng Beach Road). Would you like to have a drink or a beer in the relaxed environment, we can recommend Brazilian Zico's with samba dance performances in the bar (found in southern Chaweng, near Soi Colibri). Fashionable Q-Bar is a nightclub located high on a slope, north of Chaweng. Approximately twice as expensive beer than in "simpler bars", but trendy and nifty if you appreciate that.
Cabarets
The most famous (and best) Cabaret in Samui is Christy's Cabaret. "Ladyboys" can be seen all over Thailand, and this is a full on show where they mime to various famous icons. You will be amazed over the quality of the show and is absolutely recommendable. Entrance is free, but expect eager waiters to sell you cocktails throughout the show.
Green Mango ClubOne of Koh Samui's largest nightclubs. Many dance floors, bars, pool tables and TV screens with live sport or other programs.
Reggae PubOne of the most famous nightclubs on Koh Samui. Many international DJ´s play their music here.
Nikki Beach / Lipa Noi
Nikki beach which recently opened in Samui (located not too far from the villa) is the place to be if you want a taste of the Miami life. Nikki Beach Samui boasts a Sunset Terrace Lounge, signature opium beds, and more.
Expertly designed for ultimate relaxation complimented by a sophisticated ambiance, Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Koh Samui brings the vibrant nightlife of Miami to the shores of Lipa Noi Beach where guests can enjoy fabulous entertainment, world-class service and gourmet cuisine.
The Nightlife in Lamai
Lamai's nightlife is not at all as intensive as in Chaweng, but there are a lot of smaller bars and a couple of discos / nightclubs there as well. Some recommendations are Bauhaus, Fusion and Seed, which all are located in central Lamai..
The Nightlife elsewhere
Other parts of Koh Samui is much calmer in the evenings and nights, but smaller bars and pubs can be found in most places where there are people. If you feel to have a romantic evening with your partner or taking the family out, there are many choices, such as Bo Phut (fisherman's village), Choeng Mon and Maenam. Do you prefer a beautiful sunset as a background, it is the east cost beaches that you should head to. BBC Restaurant at Lipa Noi is a cozy place, with a stunning sunset at the fine weather.
The Full Moon Party
There are about 10,000-20,000 people every month at this Koh Phangan beach party which is a nearby Island to Koh Samui. International and Thai DJ's play here and expect the party to last all night into the early hours. Transport can be arranged directly from the Villa beach by the villa manageress.
The DJ's play all kinds of music; techno, trance, goa, drum n' bass, dub, reggae, "commercial hits", house etc on about 15 sound systems along Haad Rin beach. There are also many small tables on the beach where you can sit down with your friends or meet new ones from all parts of the globe. You can order drinks and food from the restaurants and the bars next to the Had Rin Nok beach.
Spent 10 days last April at Baan Sanlarn, best food I have had in Thailand, wonderful setting and beautifully and comfortably furnished with friendly attentive staff, could not recommend it more highly for anyone wanting a first class break in a stunning surrounding.
Wonderful villa in idyllic position overlooking fabulous beach. The most luxurious holiday imaginable with very friendly staff, delicious food and gorgeous surroundings - a little bit of paradise - highly recommended.
10 days of 5 star luxury what more could you ask for. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful chef fantastic house beautiful and once we had arrived it took only hours to totally relax and enjoy it all. We felt we had been away for a month!!
Quite the most stunning place we could ever imagined staying in. The staff made it all the more special_ Suzie celebrated her Birthday whilst we were there and they made it the most memorable night-candlelit dinner for 20 on the beach!! All in all much much more than 5 *!!!
Dhevatara Cove really is one of the most exquisite places to stay on the whole of Koh Samui! I found Baan Samlarn to be more than 5* and enjoyed a very relaxing, pampered and tranquil holiday. The staff are extremely friendly, discreet and helpful and the private chefs culinary skills are unmatched. I highly recommend Baan Samlarn and will definitely visit again!
Words fail us!! It's amazing...we have had the most wonderful week where we have been looked after exceptionally well. The Chef was truly incredible and the dishes he prepared were the best Thai food ever! A beautiful location, relaxing in incredible luxury and looked after by friendly staff..with a wondeful group of friends - memories to be 'stashed' away forever!!
a wonderful experience - in the midst of a credit crunch - the stay in Baan Samlarn allowed us all to think of the important things in life such as being with the people you love and thinking through priorities in life. The stay gave us all space to think through these issues and make plans for the future. We came back, after just 7 days, refreshed, invigorated and ready to take the next steps. Go there and see for yourself! Khun Fon and the team looked after us in a way that cannot be surpassed.
Just got back from having spent eight days in Baan Sanlarn. Awsome place, great food and the beach at the end of the garden is amazing. We went to lots of cool clubs on the island and was also a great base for access to Koh Phangan and its full moon parties. Wish I was still there.
Superlatives do not suffice for the splendour of this place. The location is idyllic - on the beach, facing the stunning sunsets. The rooms were amazing, the pool was like something out of a Disney film and the rest of the facilites, not to mention the service, were first class. My only regret is that now all my holidays will have to be judged by the high watermark set by Dhevatara Cove and I fear they might pail in comparison. Thank you for a fantastic time!
Fantastic location, Brilliant Service, Sunsets to Die for... Overall the Perfect Location for a long weekend or a 2 week break!! Have been back 3 times and hope to make it a yearly visit. The #1 place to stay in Koh Samui! Do it!!
Fantastic hospitality over the 4 days we were there. Khun Joy & the team were the perfect hosts, friendly & switched on and they didn't miss a thing.
Great setting & accomodation, see you all soon
Thanks again

Baan Samlarn has set the benchmark for future holidays and it will take a lot to match. The villa is truly amazing with incredible staff who look after you so well and nothing is ever too much trouble. The location is just perfect and I long to return! Thank you for such a fun and memorable stay.
An absolutely wonderful time. The villa at Dhevatara Cove is fantastic and the staff were incredible.
The only downside was we did not spend more time there...
Highly recommeded!
Very good post, thanks a lot.
Simply the perfect Winter break ! Our two families have just returned from the most incredible fortnight at Baan Samlarn . Idyllic location,stunningly luxurious house , attentive staff and the best Thai food ever ! We could not recommend it more .
Spent five magical nights of our honeymoon in Baan Samlarn. The staff were fantastic and made our stay very special. The food was out of this world....had great fun learning to cook some of our favourite Thai dishes. A wonderful place to relax and get away from it all, highly recommend it.
From the exquisite views, to the fresh, mouthwatering food, Baan Samlarn cannot be faulted. It is a place where you can completely relax, its idyllic nature makes it very hard to leave.
Khun Fon and her wonderfully groomed, smiley team were more than welcoming, and their service was impeccable, in fact, spoiling.
If you need a place to wind down with family or friends, Baan Samlarn is the answer, I wouldn't turn down a chance to return again for anything.
Thank you for sharing your little bit of paradise.
Another fantastic stay at Baan Samlarn, everything was just perfect. I wish I was still there, I am already longing to return!
From the minute you walk in the door and look out over the pool to the sea, all your worries disappear.
Khun Fon (villa manager) and her team did a fantastic job of looking after us, the food was superb.
A perfect start to 2011. Not only a beautiful place but delicious food and cocktails too! NO detox for us. Massage on the beach, Pedicures, Market shopping with delightful Khun Fon and Cooking lessons with the talented Khun Da for the girls. Golf, Fishing, Shooting and Cock fighting for the boys. ALL night partying and recovery by the pool for the teens. We loved it all and wish we were back there now!
