What’s not to love about them? The way your skin feels with every kiss from the radiant light of day to the warm sea breeze dancing across the surface of your skin to the swooshing waves that beckon you to kick off those expensive heels and take a cooling dip in the crystalline salt waters, we can obviously see the appeal. But beaches can get crowded.

And crowds can be a major turn off for when you’re reciting your wedding vows to one another, promising an eternity together (and maybe even declaring the role of who’s going to be the ‘cockroach exterminator’ in the household). So, what’s the next best choice if you are looking for a wedding destination that’s more personal, more intimate and a lot more memorable? Beach weddings on islands.

Enter Koh Samui, located in the East of Thailand, also known to be the country’s second largest island after Phuket. Koh Samui, otherwise known as Samui Island, is home to picturesque stretches of fine white sand, colourful coral reefs and lines of coconut trees and palm trees with leaves dancing daintily in the Southeast Asian sea breeze.

But with so many resorts to choose from, finding that perfect location for your day to remember can be difficult. Here are three of our best picks for an island wedding in Koh Samui, Thailand.

An intimate love affair between family and close friends.

Say “I do,” in the presence of those whom you hold dear to your heart in Four Seasons Resort. Hidden away from vacationing crowds and locals, in its own private bay located on the Northwest side of Koh Samui. Four Seasons Resort boasts multiple venues for the happy couple to exchange their vows under the radiant sun or starlit sky on the sandy beach with the vast ocean as their backdrop.

RESORT BEACH

Let your fairytale wedding unfold before your eyes as you exchange your vows under a specially-crafted wedding arbour joined with hundreds of twinkling lights illuminating the atmosphere.

PRIVATE COVE & BEACH HOUSE

Secluded from the main Resort Beach is a hidden cove that offers panoramic views and privacy. Here, you can exchange your promises to one another under a traditional pagoda setting decorated with a cascading arrangement of flowers.

BEACH HOUSE

Start your journey to forever against the sound of the lapping waves and a magical view of the oceanfront in a luxurious beach house located on the resort’s private beach.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE

COUPLE CELEBRATION

A romantic love affair for just two, maybe? Enjoy a private wedding on your own with an intimate set up at the exclusive Once in a Blue Moon beach, followed by a romantic dinner for two.

PRIVATE CRUISE

If you’re looking for something a little more adventurous: Tie the knot at sea and sail off into the spectacular sunset on your very own private yacht! Explore the mystical offerings in the Gulf of Thailand when you entertain your guests with a one-of-a-kind celebration on the crystalline salt waters.
