Selling Kimpton Kitalay Samui to your clients
Kimpton Kitalay Samui is an easy fit for families, with the kids' club, waterpark, pool access rooms with safety gates and connecting rooms, and for couples who want a pool villa on the beach. It is 5.5 km from the airport, so short stays and late arrivals work well, and the beach, lawn and restaurants suit weddings and incentive groups.
Some room types are only released through the resort's own team, so give us the family make-up early. Our Thailand DMC transfer team handles the airport run and island touring. For more on the island, see our Koh Samui destination guide and the other Explera partner hotels.
