Ban Sabai Big Buddha Hotel

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms at Ban Sabai Big Buddha Hotel, and every room sleeps up to three guests. Some rooms overlook the garden, and some have a bathtub, a TV with satellite channels and a DVD player.

Children aged 3 to 12 can use the existing bedding, and if an extra bed is needed, it carries an additional charge. A baby cot can be requested from the property, subject to availability.

The spa offers massage, and the wellness area includes a sauna, a steamroom and a hot tub, alongside a fitness centre. The garden is part of the grounds, and restaurants and a coffee shop are on site.

Tours and car hire can be arranged, and an airport transfer is offered. Free parking is available on site, and luggage storage, daily housekeeping and a laundromat are also offered. Car hire is also offered for getting around the island.

The hotel is family and child friendly, with a babysitting service, and it has shops on the property. Guests can combine a session in the fitness centre with a massage at the spa, which sits on the same property.

Bo Phut is a former fishing village on the coast of Koh Samui, with a bay, a pier and a village street lined with small shops and cafés. The area has a relaxed, village feel, which is a different pace from the island's larger resort strips.

Hat Bang Rak Beach, the nearest stretch of sand, is 150 m from Ban Sabai Big Buddha Hotel, and Fisherman's Village, a walking street of shops and cafés, is 1.6 km away. The Big Buddha, one of the island's best-known landmarks, lies 2 km from the property, and Wat Plai Laem, a Buddhist temple, is 2.6 km away. Samui Airport is 2.3 km from the hotel, so the island's main sights and the airport are all reachable by road.

A good day could start with a visit to Wat Plai Laem and continue with a walk through Fisherman's Village in the evening, followed by a meal at the Bophut Food Market, which is a short distance from the hotel. For a day out, the Samui Crocodile Farm is also on the island, with a very different setting from the village streets. Between trips, the hotel's spa and garden give you a quiet break after a day on the road.
