The best hotel beach clubs across the globe, offering not just sensational views from picture-perfect settings but also indulgent levels of luxury and exclusivity. From beach club magic in Indonesia to glamorous splendour in Cannes, this is our luxury edit.

Marasca Samui, a casual-luxury escape located on the pristine shores of Chaweng Beach, is setting a new benchmark in sustainable luxury by becoming the first hotel in ASEAN to achieve Fitwel Design Certification. This internationally recognized standard for building wellness, awarded by the Center for Active Design and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), reinforces Marasca Samui’s dedication to eco-conscious hospitality. Additionally, the hotel is advancing toward obtaining LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, further solidifying its commitment to environmental sustainability. The project is supported by expert consultancy from SCG Building and Living Care Consulting.

The newly opened Marasca Samui graces an idyllic stretch of Chaweng Beach along the north-east coast of Koh Samui in between kaleidoscopic waters and green mountains. Owing to its peaceful location, Marasca promises total tranquillity whilst the homely interiors imbue a warmth, welcome and disarming sense of comfort.

Marasca Hotels & Resorts, founders of luxury glamping resort Marasca Khao Yai, have now unveiled Marasca Samui, located on Chaweng Beach. As Thailand’s first FitWel Design Certified hotel with LEED Certification in progress, the property puts a focus on promoting sustainability and guest well-being. It consists of 62 rooms and several intimate spaces designed for guests to rediscover themselves amidst the island’s serene beauty, including Spa by Marasca for authentic Thai wellness treatments, an outdoor pool, Cabanas Koh Samui beach club for vibrant dining experiences, and Hideout, for complimentary refreshments.
