Explorar Koh Samui

We have had the most wonderful time at this lovely resort and are sad to be leaving. All of the staff were very helpful and kind, shout out to Andy, Dee Dee and Joey for their attention whilst at the restaurant or bar, obviously we drank!!! Cocktails were great, wine list good and food exceptional. There is just the one restaurant but they make the most of different theme nights with different food. We were lucky to have been here for Songkram so had a fabulous thai feast that night and also the sizzling Thai night. We have had some great days out and a fab evening at the night market, however my daughter would have been happy to stay at the hotel permanently!! We also enjoyed a massage which was fantastic and would highly recommend. Some beautiful views and for those concerned about the wall at the pool, we were, it actually provides some well needed shade in the afternoon and doesn't impede any views either. Excellent resort, excellent staff and an excellent holiday!

We really enjoyed our time here. The adults-only atmosphere made it feel extra peaceful, and the whole resort is set up to help you slow down. The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the pizza, which we ended up ordering more than once. The staff were kind and thoughtful throughout. Plus, the co-working area with desktops and a printer was a nice surprise. It’s the kind of place where you can easily stay in for days without getting bored. Whether you’re working a bit or just relaxing by the pool, it all feels effortless.

We stayed for one unforgettable week at Explorar Koh Samui and truly enjoyed every single minute of it. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with fresh coconuts and the cutest flower garlands — such a lovely touch! The staff is absolutely amazing — friendly, kind, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. From the restaurant and bar crew to the cleaning team, everyone made us feel incredibly well taken care of. It’s a solid 10/10 for service across the board. We were lucky to be there during Songkran, and the hotel made it extra fun with games and water guns. We even won a safari and spa voucher, which made our stay even more special. The food was fantastic, and as a vegetarian, I really appreciated how easy it was to swap out meat for tofu in dishes — no fuss at all. One of the highlights was the spa experience — I had the best massage ever with Poo (highly recommended!). Overall, Explorar Koh Samui is easily one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Great vibes, amazing service, and so many thoughtful details. 10/10 – would absolutely recommend

We had an amazing time at Explorar. The property is stunning, set in a peaceful neighborhood, and the pool offers breathtaking views. The service throughout our stay was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Breakfast was the highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options. Explorar also offers fun and engaging sessions—one of our favorites were learning how to make an espresso martini (mixology session) with Joey. We also really enjoyed the pizza-making class, where we made pesto and Margherita pizzas from scratch. We rented our bikes just outside the hotel lobby, which was very convenient. The reception staff were incredibly helpful and made everything easy for us. The pool bar is fantastic, and we highly recommend trying their espresso martini and passion fruit cocktail—they’re both incredible. Overall, Explorar is a beautiful and relaxing resort with top-notch service. Highly recommended!

Explorar was perfect for a couples retreat. The infinity pool is stunning, and the setting is quiet and romantic. The staff were lovely — always smiling and ready to help. We stayed on-site the whole time because the food was great, and there was a full co-working space with everything we needed. It felt like everything had been thought of. The whole experience was easy and comfortable from start to finish. Definitely a place we’d come back to for a relaxing escape in Koh Samui.
