Location & what to see
The Icon Hotel is in Hua Thanon, a village area of Koh Samui where local life is close at hand. A wet market and a Chinese shrine are the first things you reach, and the area has the feel of an everyday village rather than a resort strip, which suits guests who want a quieter base on the island.
The Guan-Yu Koh Samui Shrine is 300 m from the hotel and is dedicated to the Chinese general Guan Yu. Lamai Beach, a sandy bay on the island's Lamai coast, is 2.1 km away, and the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rocks, known as Grandma and Grandpa Rocks, are at the same distance. Further afield, Na Muang Waterfall sits in the hills of the island's interior, and the Big Buddha is 14.8 km away.
A good day could start at the wet market, continue with a visit to the shrine, and end on the sand at Lamai Beach. The Samui Aquarium and Tiger Zoo, 1.5 km from the hotel, and the Koh Samui Butterfly Garden, 1.8 km away, are other options for an afternoon out. The Big Buddha and the waterfall are longer trips, best planned by road around the island.
