Outrigger Koh Samui Beach Resort

OUTRIGGER Koh Samui Beach Resort is a short walk from Lamai Beach and combines classic colonial style with modern comforts. The property sits in generous gardens and offers 146 rooms and suites, while the lively Edgewater beachfront club is across the road, giving guests easy access to sand, pools and evening entertainment. The resort is family friendly by design and stands out for its club lounge benefits, several pools, a children’s water slide and the island’s only indoor laser tag arena.

Travel time to the airport can be unpredictable because of local traffic, so allow around 1.5–2 hours for transfers and check‑in.

Public areas and rooms favour refined colonial details such as French doors, soft colour schemes and classical lines. Many rooms overlook lawns, pool courtyards or the beachfront club, and the gardens are a prominent feature that helps the resort feel calm and relaxed during the day. Evenings bring a different energy as Edgewater’s pools, bar and music create a beach‑club atmosphere, so the property suits travellers who want both laid‑back daytime spaces and livelier night options.

Room types prioritise space and outdoor access. Superior Pool View Balcony rooms offer comfortable accommodation with balconies that face the courtyard pool and plenty of natural light. Superior Balcony rooms open via French doors onto private balconies with garden views. Club Garden Terrace rooms are larger club‑level options with king beds and private garden terraces at ground level, while the Club Lamai Suite provides the most space and is well suited to couples or families who want separate living areas and club benefits. Select Superior rooms interconnect, which is particularly useful for families or groups seeking extra privacy; travellers should request interconnecting rooms when booking as availability can vary.

Voyager 47 Club Lounge is available to Club Lamai Suite and Club Garden Terrace guests and sometimes included with promoted categories. The lounge provides a quieter place to unwind with complimentary non‑alcoholic drinks during the day, afternoon tea or light snacks, and evening cocktails paired with a chef’s tasting plate, which adds convenience and a touch of comfort for longer stays.

Edgewater Beach Club, located on the beachfront opposite the main resort, is the focal point for seaside dining and relaxation. It features four swimming pools, a children’s water slide, a restaurant and bar, and three massage salas for beachside treatments. The main resort itself includes a courtyard pool and a fitness centre. Families will find Coral Kids Club and a dedicated games room useful for keeping younger guests entertained out of the sun. For older children and teenagers, the indoor laser tag venue provides a high‑energy option when the beach or pool isn’t enough. Non‑motorised water sports are also available for safe, low‑impact fun on the water.

Dining options cover relaxed beachfront meals and more formal club lounge service. Edgewater Family Beach Club and Bar is ideal for long days by the sea, Voyager 47 Club Lounge serves eligible guests with drinks and evening bites, Mala Kitchen offers on‑site dining for varied tastes, and in‑room dining is available for families or anyone preferring privacy.

The resort supports OUTRIGGER Zone beach clean‑ups and offers curated excursions such as visits to Samui Elephant Haven, an ethical sanctuary for rescued elephants, and trips to Lamai Local Fisherman’s Island where guests can sample fresh local seafood. These options appeal to travellers who prefer responsible wildlife encounters and authentic local experiences.

OUTRIGGER Koh Samui is especially appealing to families because of its interconnecting room options, multiple pools and children’s facilities, while couples and solo travellers can enjoy quieter garden settings and the club lounge. The main strengths are spacious rooms with balconies or terraces, the children’s water slide, the rare indoor laser tag, club lounge perks for eligible room types, and beachfront dining with massage salas. Caveats include the need to cross the road to reach Edgewater, which requires care with children, the fact that the hotel is not on the main strip in Lamai and requires walking/taxi to get there and the beach is not the best on the island right in front of the hotel.

Practical tips include requesting interconnecting rooms well in advance for peak periods, planning airport transfers with extra time, reserving laser tag and kids club sessions on arrival to avoid scheduling conflicts, using water sports and the fitness centre early in the day, and asking for a room away from the beachfront action if quiet evenings are important.

Overall, OUTRIGGER Koh Samui Beach Resort offers a comfortable, garden‑centred stay near Lamai Beach with clear family advantages and thoughtful extras. With multiple pools, kids’ facilities, club lounge benefit, it represents strong value for families and travellers who want activity options close to their room without sacrificing comfort.
