Welcome to Tembo !
A friendly smile and a warm welcome await you at TEMBO, a stunning colonial-style beachfront property that exudes modern day island glamour on Samui’s coolest beach.
With uninterrupted views over the glittering azure waters of the Gulf of Thailand on Samui’s north coast, TEMBO is all about chilling against a backdrop of gentle chatter and a soundtrack of blissed-out Balearic beats that lull one into a sense of wellbeing.
The perfect place for chilling
Around sunset, after a day spent relaxing, island hopping or jungle jaunting, it’s time to head to the bar. Whether you are a rosé-sipping devotee, appreciate seriously good cocktails, are a G&T aficionado or simply fancy an ice-cold beer, your favourite tipple is waiting.
An unique experience
TEMBO is an all-embracing experience. Guests can totally indulge themselves, hanging by the pool, eating gloriously tasty cuisine and drinking chilled refreshments, relaxing in the spa, shopping for that fabulous beach kaftan, or ordering a picnic basket from the Deli before venturing out to the islands.
About Tembo
Beach Club & Resort
A friendly smile and a warm welcome await you at TEMBO Beach Club & Resort, a new oasis of chic, modern-day glamour on the beautiful tropical island of Koh Samui.
The boutique beachfront property, fronted by a gorgeous soft white sand beach, overlooks the dazzling turquoise sea of the Gulf of Thailand on Samui’s north coast.
TEMBO has a relaxed, unpretentious aesthetic where it’s all about chilling in an ambience of gentle chatter and a soundtrack of blissed-out Balearic beats that lull one into a sense of wellbeing.
The laid-back ambience is palpable throughout this tastefully conceived space which incorporates Southeast Asian influences integrated with a “plantation” theme. Whimsical touches hint at cool privilege and romance at every turn.



Why Tembo?
TEMBO is the Swahili word for ‘elephant’. Our founders, Susan Field and David Birchall are passionate about elephant welfare and as such, will run various events that see all profits going to the Save Elephant Foundation, with which Susan works closely.

Tembo Way of Life
Tembo Cares
Empathy for those around us, both people and animals, is at the core of all we do. We want to live in a better world.
To do that, we actively support causes we care about, through charitable donations, fund raisers and profit re-distribution.
We also carefully select local farmers and artisans to partner with, wherever possible, rather than buying from multi-nationals.
Our housekeeping team uses all-natural cleaning products, and we try to keep plastic to a minimum.
