After a day of sightseeing and enjoying all the fun activities, relax and feast on sumptuous meals prepared by the resort’s Southern-Thai seafood restaurant, Long Dtai. Helmed by Michelin-starred chef David Thompson, the establishment specialises in offering fresh, sustainable seafood.

For those with a penchant for Thai food, look no further than Hue—an all-day dining restaurant which serves up a mix of high quality international and Thai dishes. Fancy a romantic dinner? The resort will help set up a beach dining experience upon request.

4. Sustainability is the key

Also worth noting is Cape Fahn’s commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. As mentioned, seafood restaurant Long Dtai at the resort has been serving up sustainable seafood with a strong focus on marine conservation, but their efforts don’t just stop there—Cape Fahn has also eliminated single-use plastic items such as straws, bottles, cups and cutlery.

5. Close proximity to a picturesque beach and the Fisherman's Village

Don’t forget to take a leisurely stroll along the Choeng Mon Beach, which is known for its powder-soft sand and clear waters. The beach sits just 300m from the northeast corner of the island, and guests can walk to and fro at low tide, or take a small boat (or truck) during high tide.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery and taking some artsy shots at the beach, you can explore the Fisherman’s Village nearby for a truly unique Koh Samui experience. The historic area is bustling with speciality stores, restaurants and bars, as well as an atmospheric street market. What's not to love?
