Description

Samutra Residences is a hotel in Ban Tai, Koh Phangan, with direct access to the beach and rooms looking out towards the sea. Thong Sala town centre is about 2.3 km away, while the hotel sits on the island’s south coast beside a quieter stretch of sand.

Accommodation ranges from air-conditioned sea-view rooms to one- and two-bedroom villas and cottages with kitchens; selected villa-style stays have private pools. Rooms include private bathrooms, and some have terraces or balconies, garden views or a separate living space. The outdoor swimming pool overlooks the sea, and the grounds include a garden and terrace. Room service, free private parking and free WiFi are available. Couples can choose a sea-facing room, while families or small groups may prefer a villa with separate bedrooms and kitchen facilities. Thong Sala’s ferry pier connects Koh Phangan with Koh Samui and Koh Tao.

Rooms

8 room types · 32–95 m²

Accommodation at Samutra Residences spans air-conditioned double rooms, a king room, villas and a garden-view cottage. The sea-facing rooms are 32–45 m², with private bathrooms and terraces; the deluxe layouts also look towards the pool, while one king room has a sea view and terrace. The names distinguish a balcony option among the deluxe rooms.

The larger stays range from 55 to 95 m² and provide separate living areas alongside one or two bedrooms. Kitchens, including a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle and kitchenware, feature in the villa and cottage layouts, and several have private pools and garden or courtyard views. The two-bedroom villa has two bathrooms and accommodates a different arrangement from the compact sea-view rooms. The 32 m² King Room is smaller than the villas, while the Two-Bedroom Villa spans 95 m².

Ban Tai runs along Koh Phangan’s south coast, and Samutra Residences opens directly onto a quiet, shallow stretch of sand. Baan Tai Beach is 50 m away; Thong Sala Beach is 650 m from the hotel. Tiki Beach Bar is 100 m away and Milky Bay Restaurant is 500 m away, putting food and drinks close by. Guest feedback describes the beachfront as uncrowded, with shallow water, and the surrounding coast is quieter than the island’s party-focused Haad Rin.

Thong Sala is the island’s port town and the usual arrival point by ferry; Ko Pha-ngan Pier is 2.6 km from the hotel, and the town centre is about 2.3 km away. Shared songthaews travel between Thong Sala and Ban Tai, while guests arriving by car can use the free private parking on site. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 20:00. Guest feedback also credits the team with helping arrange transfers and scooter rentals. From Koh Samui, travellers continue by ferry to Thong Sala after reaching one of the island’s piers.

For an inland outing, Wat Pra Yai is 950 m away and Wat Khao Tham is 1000 m away; both are pagodas. The Night Market in Thong Sala is 1.9 km away, and Phaeng Waterfall is 3.5 km inland. The island’s February-to-April period is usually driest and calmest, while October to December is the wettest season; that seasonal contrast matters when planning time around the beach and boat trips.
