Hang out at the beach
A no-brainer! No matter how many adventures and cultural excursions you have planned, you’ll undoubtedly spend a lot of time at the beach, soaking up that glorious sunshine. We recommend heading to Lamai Beach, one of Koh Samui’s most family-friendly beaches. The calm, shallow waters make it ideal for children, while water sports like paddleboarding, jet skiing and banana boat rides offer fun for the whole family. Silver Beach is an excellent alternative, with shallow, safe waters great for young children and a convenient restaurant and bar right on the beach you can use as a base.
