Choeng Mon

🏝️ Why Choose Choeng Mon for Your Koh Samui Jollie?

If you're dreaming of a secluded paradise where you can still get a lemon fanta when you need one, Choeng Mon is your spot! This gorgeous crescent-shaped bay on Koh Samui's northeastern coast is like having your own private slice of tropical heaven – think soft white sand that feels like powder, crystal-clear shallow waters that are brilliant for families, and a peaceful, intimate atmosphere.

What makes Choeng Mon absolutely special is how it manages to give you that exclusive, away-from-it-all feeling while still keeping you connected to everything brilliant about Koh Samui. You're deceptively close to the airport (perfect for those early flights!), a short drive to Chaweng's buzzing nightlife when you fancy it, and close to Fisherman's Village for romantic dinners. But when you're here, lounging on your sun bed or floating in those calm, clear waters, you'll feel like you've discovered the island's best-kept secret.

🌊 What Makes Choeng Mon Special

Perfect Family Beach – The protected bay means calm, shallow waters year-round, making it ideal for families with kids or anyone who prefers gentler seas. The soft white sand shelves gradually, so little ones can splash about safely while parents relax nearby.

Exclusive Island Adventure – At low tide, you can literally walk across to the tiny offshore island of Koh Fan Noi! How cool is that? It's like having your own private island to explore, perfect for photos and feeling like a proper castaway for the afternoon.

Intimate Atmosphere – The beach is beautifully intimate without being cramped, with just the right amount of beachfront restaurants and resorts to keep things interesting. You'll get that exclusive feel without being completely isolated from civilization.

Stunning Sunsets – Thanks to its position and protected nature, Choeng Mon often puts on brilliant sunset shows that'll have you reaching for your camera every single evening.
