Zara Beach Resort Koh Samui

The accommodation at Zara Beach Resort Koh Samui is mostly villas, with a suite and a deluxe room alongside them. Sizes run from 25 m² to 150 m², and the villas are set up for up to six guests.

Several rooms have a sea, garden or pool view, and most have a private bathroom with a shower. Some have a bathtub or a walk-in shower, and some have air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Some rooms come with a shared jacuzzi. The villas are the core of the offer here, with the private bathrooms, bathrobes and hair dryers in most of them, and the sea, garden and pool views give each villa a different outlook on the grounds.

The resort has an outdoor swimming pool and a children's swimming pool, a garden and a terrace, along with a restaurant, room service and a shared lounge/TV area. Free parking is available on site for guests who arrive by car, and there is also parking nearby.

For getting around and days out, the resort offers tours, diving, snorkelling, fishing, bicycle rental, car hire and a taxi service, and an airport transfer is offered. A concierge, laundry and dry cleaning, ironing and luggage storage are available too.

The resort also has a family room, kids meals and a babysitting service, and the resort has a children's swimming pool alongside its outdoor pool.

Lamai is one of the main beach areas of Koh Samui, a long bay where the sand and the local markets are close together. The resort is about 100 m from the beach, so the water is a short walk away. The property also has a garden and an outdoor swimming pool. The beach road has street-food stalls and massage shops, so evenings are easy to fill without going far.

Around the resort, Lamai Night Market and Lamai Fresh Food Market are both a short walk away, the latter useful for fresh produce. Wat Lamai, a pagoda, is 950 m away, and the Hin Ta & Hin Yai rock formations, known as Grandma and Grandpa Rocks, are 2.2 km away. Samui Airport is 8.9 km away, so it is the closest airport to the resort, and Central Festival Samui, a shopping centre, is 7.2 km away for those who want a larger choice of shops.

A good day could start with a swim at Lamai Beach, continue to the Hin Ta & Hin Yai rocks, and end with dinner and a walk around the night market. The Big Buddha statue is a longer trip, and for arrivals an airport transfer is offered.
