Located at the Nikki Beach Resort on the outside of central Koh Samui, Nikki Beach's first Asian outpost isn't the most selective with its poolside tanning scene. Dancing dudes with beer bellies and speedos are just as easily found as model girls in skimpy bikinis. This beach club flagship is located within a tropical, glass-enclosed dining room at the center of the resort, as well as along an elevted pool just feet from the breaking tide. Furnishings are more tiki than foodie formal with rattan settees fluffed-up with signature Nikki Beach cream-colored canvas pillows and bolsters.
The Food
Catering to a clientele that prefers to be in their swimsuits most of the day, a healthful and market-minded menu begins with fresh seafood salads and platters of tuna or salmon carpaccio, and cantaloupe puree. Sushi lovers discover Nikki's signature fish bar with selection of sashimi and cut rolls sliced by NYC-imported sushi chefs. Heartier eaters discover main courses with a Franco Italian flair like a hearty bouillabaisse, grilled fish served tableside and selection of pastas cooked to order.
