Zazen Boutique Resort & Spa

We had an amazing four-day stay at Zazen Boutique Resort in Koh Samui. The cabins were spacious and beautifully designed, featuring a cozy sofa area where we enjoyed Netflix in the evenings. The food was exceptional, especially the Thai dishes—we loved the Massaman curry, morning glory, tamarind prawns, and Panang curry. The buffet breakfast offered a great selection as well. The pool area was stunning, with comfortable day beds perfect for relaxing. We also had a wonderful experience at the spa, where we enjoyed our first Thai massage of the trip. In the evenings, we often played pool and explored Fisherman’s Village for food and massages. Renting a bike is the best way to explore the island. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. With its beachfront location and excellent service, Zazen was the perfect getaway—we’ll definitely be back!

This hotel is quiet and gorgeous. I stayed two nights and didn’t leave the property due to personal circumstances but it is close enough to Fisherman’s village to get some local flavor. Or really hospitable to walking around and exploring without a taxi to somewhere. Two nights is probably enough to experience this and then move on to another part of the island for variety.

What an amazing resort, the staff were so very helpful and polite. The location is spectacular too.
