Koh Samui keeps turning up on GCC family shortlists, and it is easy to see why: calm beaches at Maenam and Bophut, halal food that is not hard to find, and direct flight connections through Bangkok from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. This list sticks to five hotels with real Expedia rates we checked, aimed at families who want a proper family room without guessing at the price.

If anyone in your party is travelling on a Pakistani passport, the good news is Thailand’s tourist eVisa now covers you, and it is a straightforward online application from the UAE using your Emirates ID.

1. TUI BLUE The Passage Samui Pool Villas with Private Beach Resort

At $93 a night on Expedia, this pool villa resort on the quieter Maenam coast suits families wanting space and a private beach strip.

Villas with private pools mean you are not sharing a lobby pool with strangers, which helps with younger kids. Maenam’s flat, calm water suits paddling and slow days rather than big waves.

Worth knowing: There is no rating or review count listed yet, so check recent guest feedback and reconfirm the $93 rate for your September dates.

2. Paradise Beach Resort Samui

At $90 a night on Expedia, this straightforward beachfront resort on Maenam is a solid budget base for a calm-water week.

Maenam’s long, shallow beach is easy to wade into without big surf, which helps if you are watching younger kids near the water. It is a simpler set-up than the villa resorts nearby, which suits families who just want a bed near the sand.

Worth knowing: No reviews or rating are shown, so check recent feedback and reconfirm the $90 rate before booking your September stay.

3. Crystal Lamai Hotel

At $64 a night on Expedia, this is the cheapest pick here and puts you on Lamai’s livelier stretch of beach.

Lamai has more restaurants and shops within walking distance than the quieter beaches, useful if you want variety without hiring a car. It is busier than Maenam or Bophut, so pick your spot on the sand with that in mind.

Worth knowing: No rating or review data is available, so check recent guest feedback and reconfirm the $64 rate for your actual travel dates.

4. Samui Honey Cottages Beach Resort

At $81 a night on Expedia, this cottage-style resort sits in Bophut, near Fisherman’s Village’s calm beach and walkable dining.

Bophut’s beach is gentle and the pedestrian streets nearby have plenty of halal and kid-friendly food within a short stroll. Cottage layouts can suit families who want more separation between sleeping and living space than a standard room.

Worth knowing: There is no listed rating or review count, so check recent feedback and reconfirm the $81 rate for your September dates.

5. The Briza Beach Resort, Samui

At $115 a night on Expedia, this is the priciest option here, on Lamai beach with more resort-style facilities.

The higher rate typically buys more on-site infrastructure, useful if you want pools and dining without leaving the property each meal. Lamai’s beach is calmer toward its northern end than the busy main strip.

Worth knowing: No rating or reviews are shown yet, so check recent guest feedback and reconfirm the $115 rate before you book.

None of these five have review data we could check, which is worth knowing before you book, so read a few recent guest comments on Expedia before you confirm. The prices above are what we saw at the time of checking, and Koh Samui rates move with demand, so verify them again for your exact September 2026 dates.
