At first sight, Kimpton Kitalay Samui evokes an enchanting vibe in both appearance and attitude. Occupying a quiet, sandy shore on Choengmon Beach, just a few strolls away from the warm sand and soft ocean waves, the resort is a timeless new emblem for the island’s nautical charm. Its name is derived from two Thai words - ‘kita’ which means ‘song’, and ‘lay’ which signifies ‘sea’. Kitalay thus translates to ‘a joyous ode celebrating the siren song of the sea’.
Kimpton Kitalay Samui, the first resort in South East Asia for IHG Hotels & Resorts luxury boutique brand has officially opened its doors. This highly-anticipated opening promises a differentiated stay with its take on the Samui way of life, through the brand s signature heartfelt service, locally-loved restaurants and bars and distinct design approach to create one-of-a-kind spaces that infuse local culture with relaxed luxury.
