About Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui

The Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui spans 11 hectares of hilly landscape and gardens surrounding its own private bay on the northeast coast, just a two-minute drive from Choeng Mon Beach. It opened in July 1987 as The Tongsai Bay and was the first five-star resort on Koh Samui. Today, it belongs to the Garrya brand of the Banyan Group. Room categories range from beach and hillside suites with bathtubs and ocean views, to villas with ocean views and private pools, and three-bedroom pool villas.

The resort places great emphasis on wellness and offers the 8LEMENTS Spa, a yoga room, and wellness pool villas. Hobie Cats, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and snorkeling equipment are available free of charge in the bay from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (weather permitting). There are two outdoor pools, a kids' club, a tennis court, and a fitness center.

Chaweng is a 10-minute drive away, Wat Plai Laem 5 minutes, and the Big Buddha 10 minutes. The airport is about a 20-minute drive from the resort. The spa is open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
