Bophut & Fisherman's Village Hotels
8 Old-Village Stays
Cafes, Walking Street, Calm Beach!

The top score here, Trip.com 9.4 and Booking 9.2 from 967 reviews — Hansar Samui is a beachfront resort on Bophut where every room faces the sea and the Fisherman's Village Walking Street is a few minutes' stroll away. Its roughly 74 rooms all have a wide balcony with a daybed, and the 30-metre infinity pool sits just steps from the sand. It's known for staff who remember you and a wide breakfast. Location is the real draw — step out the side and you're among the old wooden shophouses, cafes and beach bars of the fishing village.

Anantara Bophut is a 5-star resort at the end of Bophut Beach, right next to Fisherman's Village — you can walk from the beachside gate straight into the heart of the village, scoring 9.2 on Trip.com. The draw is the shaded tropical garden and the curved lagoon-style pool by the sand, looking out over Bophut Bay and Koh Phangan. There's an Anantara spa and a kids' club, so it suits both couples and families. Rooms are contemporary Thai in style, spacious and quiet. The appeal is the convenience — head out to the Walking Street in the evening and walk straight back to your room, no taxi needed.

Celes Samui (formerly Samui Palm Beach Resort) is a contemporary design resort with the highest guest score here — Trip.com 9.5, with cleanliness, location and amenities all rated 9.6. It sits on a roughly 270-metre stretch of Bophut Beach, one of the longest continuous strands on the island, looking out across the Gulf to Koh Phangan. There are 3 outdoor pools, a spa and beachfront pool villas, with rooms in a clean white palette. Fisherman's Village is about a 10–15 minute walk along the sand — close enough to head to the Walking Street and come back to a quiet beach.

Bo Phut Resort & Spa is a beachfront boutique resort on Bophut built around a tropical garden and Thai-style villas, scoring 9.4 on Trip.com from 114 reviews. The grounds are landscaped with gardens and ponds, with everything from garden rooms to private pool villas, some with an outdoor jacuzzi. The beachfront pool looks out over Bophut Bay and there's a wide sun-deck on the sand. It's a 5-minute walk or drive to Fisherman's Village, which holds its night market several times a week. The size is just right — not so big it feels busy — suiting couples and small families.

NH Collection Samui Peace Resort (formerly Peace Resort) is a beachfront bungalow resort on Bophut Beach, renovated under the NH brand, scoring 9.2 on Trip.com with over 1,534 Booking reviews. The draw is the single-roof bungalows spread through the garden, each with a private porch, plus beachfront rooms that face the sea directly. A curved pool sits at the centre and the private beach is lined with red loungers. The beachfront breakfast buffet changes daily. It's a 5–7 minute drive to Fisherman's Village, and it suits families and anyone wanting a quiet north-shore beach.

Zazen is a small villa resort of around 26 villas on Bophut Beach, focused on a quiet mood and its spa, scoring 8.3 on Trip.com. The villas mix Thai and Asian touches — gabled roofs, arched teak doors — set through a tropical garden. The well-known beachfront restaurant, The Club by Zazen, serves Thai and Mediterranean dishes with themed dinners by the sea on some nights. There's Le Spa Zen and a quiet private beach. It suits couples or anyone wanting to slow right down — one caveat from reviews is that service can be uneven, so booking direct and confirming ahead helps.

Saboey Resort and Villas is a beachfront villa resort on Bang Rak–Big Buddha Beach in the northeast, at a reachable rate, scoring 9.2 on Trip.com. It has around 20 rooms, from garden rooms to beachfront villas, with a pool and a beach bar looking over the bay. The location is very close to the airport — quick to reach on arrival — and a 5-minute walk to Bang Rak pier for the boat to Koh Phangan. The Big Buddha is nearby, with the market and restaurants of the Big Buddha area a short walk or drive away. It isn't a luxury resort and rooms are simple, but it's good value for a beachfront villa on this side.

Hacienda Fisherman's Village is a small boutique hotel right in Fisherman's Village — under a minute's walk to the Walking Street, the cheapest pick here, with Booking 8.6 from 521 reviews and a 9.5 location rating from couples. The headline feature is the rooftop pool overlooking Bophut Bay and the islands, good for the sunset. Rooms are clean and simply styled, some with a balcony and a sea view. Being in the middle of the village, you can walk to every cafe, restaurant and the night market. Worth knowing: the beach here is small and near the pier, and there's some noise on market nights — come for the location and rooftop pool, not a private beach.
