Location & what to see
The Mud is in Nathon, the main town and ferry port of Koh Samui, and the property is beachfront. Nathon is a practical place to base yourself if you want to explore the island by road, with its piers and food stalls close by. Samui Airport is 15.3 km away, so the town is also a practical starting point for arrivals by air. The grounds include a garden and a terrace, so guests can spend time on site as well as out on the island.
Octopus Beach is the nearest beach, 1.2 km away, and Lamai Beach is one of the island's better-known stretches of sand. The Big Buddha, a large seated Buddha statue, and Na Muang Waterfall make good outings, and both are reached by road from the property. Na Muang Waterfall lies in the island's interior, so it makes a change from the coast.
Nathon Pier is 3.3 km away, and Fisherman's Village in Bophut, 11.8 km away, is a lively waterfront village with shops and restaurants. A day could begin with a swim at Octopus Beach, then continue inland to Na Muang Waterfall and the Big Buddha, and finish with a walk through Fisherman's Village in the evening.
