Walk to the beachless than 500 metres from the sand

These homes are on the beach or within about 500 metres of it, close enough to walk down with a towel in the morning. On Koh Samui the beach changes a lot from one coast to another: calm and shallow on the north and west coasts (Maenam, Bophut, Lipa Noi), long and lively on the east (Chaweng, Lamai), small and sheltered in the bays (Choeng Mon, Chaweng Noi).

Living by the sea also means salt air, humidity and a few things to check before you commit: how the house is built and maintained against corrosion, drainage in the rainy season, erosion on some stretches of coast, and how busy the beach road is. Ask us, and we tell you what we would look at for each home.

Homes this close to the sand are few, and the best ones do not stay long. Select the ones you like below: we send you their photos, exact position and price.
