Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Koh Samui

We've been to Samui many times, but never to the Lipa Noi/Nathon area, so we were pleased to find a Luxury Escapes deal to Nikki Beach. (Unfortunately the resort is a bit out of the way and we never made it to Nathon!) We were allocated a lovely bungalow in tropical surrounds well away from the pool 'party' area (there is a DJ playing house/dance music all day for the guests and day visitors lounging round the pool - so we were grateful to the reservations staff for sussing out our demographic -older generation!). We're keen swimmers and enjoy a pool, but the 'public' pool was way too small for us - more somewhere for the sun lovers to cool off - however the beach is very accessible and perfect for swimming (and away from the music!) and there is a larger guest only pool. Cleaning staff were great and we had no issues with the room maintenance - loved the bathroom! They provide plenty of water in eco-friendly glass bottles (yay!) and an extra little sweet treat delivered each night, which is a nice touch. The Escape restaurant is run by the lovely Kwan and is a very pleasant spot with a reasonable menu (though we were surprised at the lack of Thai options - mostly western style). Breakfast was a bit of a challenge - struggled to get our a la carte/coffee orders right and we found the buffet a bit underwhelming (but perhaps I'm being a bit picky). Cocktails were not good - worst Pina Colada I've ever had! Part of our package included a cocktail each day, so perhaps they weren't as alcoholic as if we had paid full price, but I suspect it's just poorly trained bar staff. Having said all that - I think Nikki Beach is a stylish resort in a lovely location and an ideal place for young couples or singles and for 'influencers', but old fogeys like us can enjoy it too!

The perfect way to relax! Perfect for a short stay or a long holiday in Thailand, Nikki Beach Resort has great rooms, friendly housekeeping staff named Dao, and comfortable sunbeds. If you are in Koh Samui, be sure to visit!Enjoy stunning views and stunning sunsets. The beachfront and infinity pools offer a refreshing and relaxing escape from the heat. Afternoon tea and evening cocktails.

Great team at this hotel , great restaurants and fantastic vibe, especially from the DJ. When staying here either use the middle pool for all the music , or in fact go to the 75 meter pool which is nice a private by the wonderful accommodation villas

I loved being here. I chose a room with a view of the guest-only pool in front. The whole team, including the hotel manager, was kind and attentive. The beach in front of the hotel was clean and easily accessible from the rooms. The water had the perfect temperature and energy for swimming.

This is a beautiful resort. It's in a great location with excellent views. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay. There was one thing that caused me a bit of confusion. They have a DJ by the pool, playing music for most of the day. It's party/dance type music which occasionally, can be heard by most of the resort. The confusion is what kind of "vibe" is the resort going for calm/relaxed or party central?
