79 Beach Club and Resort Samui

79 Beach Club and Resort Samui is located on Bangrak Beach, a convenient spot just a short drive from Samui International Airport and close to the Phangan ferry pier. It’s designed for travellers who want a lively beach scene with solid food, well-made drinks and a full day-to-night atmosphere.

Aimed at couples, groups of friends and sociable travellers who love music, pool time and sunset cocktails, with families welcomed by day but evenings are more adult-orientated. The vibe is upbeat and beach‑lounge energy with a large pool with in‑water seating, sunbeds, cabanas and sunset‑facing spots. Expect chilled daytime playlists building to livelier sets in the early evening.

Beach Club zones include the pool area for sunseekers (shade is limited around midday, so arrive early for umbrellas), a beachfront deck that’s perfect for golden hour with low sofas and cocktail service, and “Bar Everywhere” stations—both mobile and fixed—so drinks come to you. The dining terrace serves all‑day brunch, pizzas, Thai favourites and light bites that suit sharing. Selected evenings feature rotating live music or DJs; check the weekly schedule onsite and socials for themes or guest sets. For those staying over, rooms are modern with clean lines, neutral tones, strong air‑con and reliable Wi‑Fi; lighter sleepers may prefer sea‑facing options away from the main pool or to ask about quieter wings on event nights.

From late morning, the beach club menu runs all day, shifting into a relaxed brunch style between 11.00 am and 11.00 pm. Think avocado toast in several variations, eggs Benedict, smoothie bowls, pancakes and fresh salads, all geared towards easy poolside eating without feeling heavy. Pizzas are a staple here and lean thin-crust, with shareable sizes that suit groups and day pass visitors. They sit alongside a broad spread of Thai and international plates, so it’s just as simple to order pad Thai, a fragrant curry or fried rice as it is to go for a burger, tacos or a seafood grill. Portions are generous, and the kitchen keeps timing tight even during busy sunset periods, which helps when you’re trying to catch the last light with hot plates still arriving on time. Drinks are a strong point. The bar team focuses on well-balanced signature cocktails that are as photogenic as they are easy to sip, without neglecting the classics. You’ll find everything from a bright, citrus-led gin drink to a richer rum-based option with tropical notes, plus spritzes for daytime and stirred choices for later in the evening. Beer and wine options keep things straightforward, with local labels for a casual round and a small, tidy wine list by the glass. Service is both bar-side and roving, so it’s common to order from your lounger or beachfront sofa without leaving your spot.

Day passes typically include pool access, towels and a food-and-drink credit, usually around 500–1,000 THB per person depending on season. Loungers and cabanas often operate on minimum spend, roughly 1,000–3,000 THB for prime spots and higher for large group cabanas.
Value-wise, pricing tracks with other premium beach clubs on Samui. Cocktails typically sit in the 280–420 THB range, local beers around 120–180 THB, and wine by the glass about 250–450 THB depending on the pour. Brunch dishes usually land between 220–480 THB, pizzas around 300–550 THB, and larger mains from 280–650 THB, with seafood specials changing by market price. There’s a strong push on Happy Hour through the day; staff can outline current deals when you arrive since the offers rotate. If you plan to linger for sunset, it’s worth asking about any set bundles that pair a few drinks with shared plates, as these can be good value for small groups.

Day Pass: If not staying overnight, a day pass is the easiest way to enjoy the pool facilities.
Timing: Arrive by late morning for the best choice of loungers. Stay through golden hour for the signature view.

Dress code: Resort casual. Swimwear is fine by the pool; cover-ups for the restaurant.
Families: Daytime is relaxed; evenings trend more social. If travelling with kids, aim for morning to mid-afternoon.
