Avani Chaweng Samui Hotel & Beach Club is the latest property to open on Koh Samui’s legendary Chaweng Beach.

Conceptualized by SOHO Hospitality, the 80-key resort is Samui’s only mid-century, modern-inspired beach destination.

On the ground floor, “Funky Poolside” rooms have terraces that open onto the courtyard pool.

Pre-parties can be held in the 656-square-foot Groovy Sea View Suite and the 968+-square-foot Double Groovy Sea View Suite. Good time essentials such as costumes, wigs, cocktail-making stations, record players, private DJs and a “paparazzi-f0r-hire” are available to guests.

Dining and drink options include the SEEN Beach Club, which delivers dishes with Mediterranean, Asian and American flavors; and the 24-hour Social Bar, which serves late-night comfort foods and summery cocktails.
