6. Pangka Beach

Possibly the most chilled out, secluded part of the island, Pangka is the place to go on Samui for those in search of a romantic island getaway. Tucked away in the south-west of the island, it's as far as possible from the buzzing nightlife of the north and east coasts. As a result, there's really not much on offer here in terms of entertainment, with the village catering primarily to the locals. But, if your plan for Samui is to laze in the sun and maybe take the odd dip or two, you've definitely come to the right place.
