Dining in Koh Samui Thailand is Now More International with the Addition of Nikki Beach Club

Nikki Beach, one of the world's most recognizable luxury lifestyle and entertainment brands, has chosen the idyllic island of Koh Samui in Thailand to launch a spectacular new Nikki Beach Club this December. Known as "The Land of Smiles," Thailand prides itself on exceptional service, unwavering hospitality and, of course, picturesque landscapes. It comes as no surprise that Nikki Beach chose the breathtaking Koh Samui as the next addition to its well-established chain of jet setting locales. Nikki Beach Koh Samui will attract an entourage of savvy international travelers who seek exclusive beachfront locales expertly designed for ultimate relaxation with sophisticated ambiance, fabulous entertainment, world-class service, and haute cuisine.

"We are very excited to be part of the lifestyle now in Koh Samui Thailand with our newest Nikki Beach Club in Lipa Noi Beach. To show our commitment to bringing a truly International experience we have brought in an Opening Team from around the world and from our other premier locations."

"To head up this project as the General Manager we brought Andy Tsavos from South Beach Miami, Chef Molloy from Marbella Spain, Tania Berg for Marketing from Miami Beach, Michael Sin as VIP manager from Miami Beach, Floor manager Suzanne from Marbella Spain, Dyan from Miami Beach, Ben from St Barths and DJ & Producer Roman from Cabo San Lucas Mexico."

"This International team will make our Nikki Beach in Koh Samui a gem of Thailand to match the amazing design and décor that our partners from Nikolsons Group along with Nikki Beach design and furniture have created," said Mike Penrod partner and owner Nikki Beach worldwide.

Located on the island's West Coast shores of Lipa Noi beach, the resort sits beachside, lending picturesque views of the magnificent Thai sunsets. Designed with an exotic yet palatial aesthetic, Nikki Beach Koh Samui welcomes guests with a prominent fountain that houses two modern copper fire displays. The signature Nikki style beach club dons an entrance fit for royalty with a few steps that lead to an expansive copper roof dome where the main bar and VIP lounges sit.

Beyond the dome entry, guests can savor exotic cuisine and fresh local seafood at the fine dining area centralized around a signature Tatani table. However, those who prefer to skip the sit-down meal can indulge in a quick bite at The Bakery Café. This quaint eatery situated just prior to the entrance of the club offers impatient sun worshippers fresh fruit smoothies, paninis, tapas and other gourmet snacks. Opposite The Bakery Café, a Nikki Beach Clothing boutique showcases the latest designs from the eponymous brand, including chic beachwear, bathing suits, and any last minute sun care needs.

Once guests pass the fine dining area, an open terrace reveals the heart of the club: a sunken DJ booth surrounded by an organic shaped pool outfitted with underwater speakers; a wood deck decorated by the infamous white day and opium beds; and the spectacular rooftop Sunset Terrace Lounge where guests can herald in the night while sipping evening cocktails.

The Grand Opening Weekend begins April 23 when the location invites VIPs for an exclusive dinner party at 7pm complete with special entertainment. Enjoy Nikki Beach's infamous Happy Hour party on April 24 when the Sunset Terrace Lounge opens to the public with DJs spinning the decks, endless entertainment, sexy sunbathers and the gorgeous Rose Sunsets. The real celebration begins April 25 with a VIP cocktail hour at 6pm, sampling hors d'ouvres and specialty drinks, and then doors open to the public at 9pm until the wee hours of the morning. Recover from the White Party at the award-winning Sunday Brunch where guests can satisfy cravings with a delectable buffet brunch while enjoying live music and entertainment.
