Koh Samui beach weddings

Thanks to its relatively modest size and wide selection of beaches, getting married on the Samui sand is not only possible but preferable for many couples to be, especially in the dry season months from January to April.

Most of Koh Samui’s more popular resorts are beachfront properties, which means wedding ceremonies are a common site in places like Chaweng and Lamai Beach. In fact, the island is so easy to travel around that you can choose virtually any of the bays to tie the knot by the lapping waves. beachside villas are also in abundance, so there’s the possibility of a more private experience for those that prefer anonymity.

Larger resorts and villa rental agencies like Samui Villas and Homes often construct a special shrine or wedding alter from flowers, which can be placed right on the beach. This makes for some supremely romantic photographs and allows guests to gather round on the sand and share the moment. Some hotels even build platforms out in the water, with a walkway for the couple, while others add various decorations such as petals on the sand to add to the celebration.

A number of small islands can be found just off the Koh Samui coast. This means it is possible to create a real desert island atmosphere for your beachside wedding. However, hiring boats and getting the guests to the venue can be a little complicated so most couples simply opt to marry on the beach in front of the resort or villa they are staying in. This means they can head back to convenience and comfort when it’s time for the party to start.
