Tim Kroeger reviews Peace Resort Koh Samui in Thailand, highlighting its beachfront villas, tropical gardens, relaxed atmosphere, dining, and wellness offerings.
Peace Resort Koh Samui is located at Bophut Beach and has 122 guest accommodations. It was first opened in 1977 and has won different awards.
The resort lives up to its name. From the moment I checked in, I felt very relaxed and comfortable. The check-in area is quite appealing, and the receptionist is friendly and attentive.
The resort is actually a huge garden with trees and flowers. On the way to my bungalow, I could watch squirrels climbing up palm trees. It is a fantastic place so close to nature.

Location
Peace Resort Koh Samui is located at Bophut Beach on the beautiful island of Koh Samui in the south of Thailand. It is only a 20-minute drive from the airport by shuttle bus or taxi.
Nevertheless, you won’t hear any aircraft noise. It is located in a calm area of Samui, ideal for relaxing on the beach or zone out.
Room Experience
I stayed at one of the four beachfront villas at Peace Resort Samui. Each villa has a size of 64 square meters and a terrace with sunbeds.
The room has everything you might need, including a TV flat screen, fridge, coffee & tea making facilities, working desk, safety box, DVD player and a day bed. The bathroom is huge, with a separate shower and bathtub.
The room’s highlight is its location right at the beach.
You can relax in bed and watch the ocean. Imagine waking up in the morning with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. I felt like I was in paradise!
The Breakfast at Peace Resort Koh Samui
The breakfast buffet is next to the beach and caters to all tastes. It offers, amongst others, freshly prepared eggs, bread, ham & cheese, fresh fruits, yogurt, and Thai style breakfast.
Bars and Restaurants
At Peace Resort Koh Samui, one bar is next to the pool with an ocean view. If you want to have dinner, you can go to the restaurant where also breakfast is served.
I strongly recommend dinner by the sea when you want to surprise your girlfriend/ wife or eat in a romantic atmosphere.
The menu started with Pomelo salad with shrimp and crab spring roll with sweet chili sauce.
Afterward, they serve a delicious chicken soup with mushrooms and young coconut meat in coconut milk.
For the main course, you get a choice of red curry of roasted duck breast with kaffir lime leaves and sweet basil, deep-fried prawns glazed with tamarind sauce, steamed fillet sea bass topped with lime, garlic, and chili dressing, assorted stir-fried vegetables with oyster sauce and steamed jasmine rice.
For dessert, you can choose between sticky rice with mango or tropical seasonal fresh fruits.
The Resort has a cooking school for guests. Here, you can learn how to cook Thai food and learn something about the culture of Thailand.
But, look out… once you are done cooking, you can taste your self-made food. So make sure to listen well to the chef ;)
I prepared Coconut Soup with Chicken, Mushrooms, and Galangal, Phaneng Beef Curry with Peanuts, and Lime leaves, and phad Thai with Prawns and Bean curd.
