A very relaxing beach club with a low minimum spend, amazing food, and a great view in the heart of the most popular beach, Chaweng. It's my favorite spot to curl up with a book by the pool.

One of the best beach clubs to come with friends. There are lots of activities in the club and on the beach like banana boats and jet skis. It is located on a very beautiful part of the beach. The food is amazing, especially the pizza.

A great beach club for the night time, order some drinks, watch the fire show and relax with friends. At night it turns into a huge party hub so be ready!

This is my favorite beach club in all of Samui because its huge! There is a lazy river that will float you around the main pool. Drinks and food are reasonable for a beach club. Dancers, DJs, and events make this place come alive. It's not too crazy ...
