The InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort has opened its doors on the island of Koh Samui, with the aim of hotel management to set a new benchmark for luxury resort accommodation for the island.
The IHG-managed resort welcomed its first guest, Mr Mathias Urbaezek who was visiting Koh Samui on a four-night stay. Mr Urbaezek received complimentary butler service and a coupon for free accommodation on a return visit to the resort.

The resort’s general manager, Mr. Arnaud Girodon, expressed his delight at the opportunity welcoming the resort’s first ever guest. “We are confident, this well-loved destination is better than ever as it flies the new flag of InterContinental Hotels & Resorts,” he said.
Mr. Girodon said that the resort, situated at the south-western tip of Koh Samui at Baan Taling Ngam Beach was historically the first luxury resort on the island, which reopens following a 10-month multimillion renovation.
The resort provides guests with some of the finest views available on Samui Island, offering a stunning 320 view incorporating the famous “Five Islands” and Angthong National Park.
The InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort also offers guests a range of luxurious accommodations, a private beach, licensed pier, gourmet dining and signature spa raised 120 meters above sea level.
It is also the island’s only address to offer private transfers to guests, to and from Koh Samui International Airport by speedboat direct to its own 150-metre licensed pier.
