North Chaweng
Guest sentiment
A 141-room beachfront Hyatt Regency in North Chaweng, built around more than 600 protected trees with five pools and a semi-private beach.
Last updated August 8, 2026
Hyatt Regency Koh Samui sits on a semi-private stretch of North Chaweng beach, built around more than 600 protected Yang Na and coconut trees that give the resort a lush, layered feel across its five pools and winding paths. Guests consistently praise the friendly, genuinely warm service and a strong breakfast buffet, describing some of their best beach vacations here. The resort sits about 20 minutes from central Chaweng town, and a few reviewers note rougher seas and a more pebbly beach than at some other Samui properties, alongside pricier food and drinks.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hyatt Regency Koh Samui close to Chaweng town?
It's about 20 minutes from central Chaweng, positioned on a quieter stretch of North Chaweng beach. It suits travelers wanting a self-contained resort retreat more than a walkable base for Chaweng's main strip of shops and nightlife.
Is the beach good for swimming at Hyatt Regency Koh Samui?
Some reviewers note rougher seas and a more pebbly beach than at other parts of Koh Samui, so many guests make use of the resort's five pools as the primary swimming option rather than relying solely on the beach.
