Koh Samui has no shortage of beachfront style, but Tembo Beach Club adds its own social energy to the island’s resort landscape. The property leans into a breezy, contemporary beach-club atmosphere, making it especially appealing to travelers who want their island stay to feel relaxed, lively, and unmistakably current.

Tembo Beach Club Samui
On the gentle curve of Bangrak Beach along Koh Samui’s north coast, Tembo Beach Club & Resort channels colonial elegance with a laid-back beach-club soul. Named after the Swahili word for elephant (a nod to the resort’s support of Southeast Asian elephant conservation), the property sits directly on the sand with uninterrupted views across the Gulf of Thailand.
The intimate collection of accommodations includes the spacious Riad Suite, Beach Front Villas, Partial Sea View Bungalows, and Spa Bungalows — all featuring private terraces, modern comforts, and that signature island openness.
Days revolve around effortless indulgence. Lounge by the pool with Balearic beats in the background, savor acclaimed cuisine and refreshing cocktails at the poolside bar, or order a picnic basket before heading out to nearby islands. The all-day dining menu and sunset rosé moments capture the easy glamour that defines Tembo.
With its warm, welcoming atmosphere, lush garden setting, and focus on genuine relaxation, Tembo Beach Club & Resort offers a refined yet unpretentious escape — the perfect place to slow down and let Koh Samui’s island magic unfold.

The resort’s newly refreshed restaurant, KULA – Swahili for “eat” -is a great addition. With updated interiors and captivating sea views, it’s an ideal setting for a long, leisurely afternoon. The menu features a creative fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavors, alongside a strong selection of vegetarian dishes.

Accommodation options include nine charming beachfront bungalows—seven with king-size beds and two with twin setups—just steps from the sand. For couples, the light-filled Honeymoon Villa offers a romantic retreat right on the shoreline.

Each room reflects a relaxed coastal aesthetic, featuring whitewashed, artisan-crafted furniture from Northern Thailand, hand-carved statement headboards, and soft accents using Jim Thompson fabrics.

The new Riad Suite adds a distinctive Moroccan touch, with three double bedrooms arranged around a serene courtyard. Rich colors and traditional details make it an ideal choice for families or small groups seeking space and style
