Kira Baya (คีรา บายา) is a boutique resort inspired by Gauguin’s Tahiti, offering guests a liberating and immersive experience in nature, without constraints or boundaries.
Nestled in Koh Samed, the resort is designed to offer guests an immersive retreat where nature and comfort seamlessly blend. Kira Baya embraces a raw yet refined approach to island living—where woven textures, organic materials, and the rhythm of the ocean shape each moment. More than a retreat, it is an immersion into the soul of the island, offering a timeless escape that feels both grounding and liberating.
"The pictures are really just for reference; make sure to check the room size carefully. This is the furthest hotel from the pier on Koh Samet, and the beach isn't great – lots of rocks, making it very inconvenient to get around. Plus, the hotel might be new, as many facilities are still incomplete, and food options are extremely limited. If you want to go out for food or shopping, the round-trip transportation costs are exorbitant. My biggest complaint is their bathroom. The drainage is terrible. I complained twice, and they couldn't fix it. After one person showers, the floor is completely flooded, and the water doesn't drain. You have to wait an hour before the next person can shower."
