Surin sits between Kamala and Bang Tao on the west coast, known locally as something close to "Millionaire's Row" for its concentration of high-end beach clubs and villas.
What it's like
A relatively small but striking beach, backed by upscale beach clubs that draw a see-and-be-seen crowd, particularly at sunset — considerably more polished than Kamala just to its south.
Beach clubs
Surin's beach clubs are a destination in themselves for many visitors, offering daybeds, restaurant-quality food and DJ sets — worth knowing that a day here often costs meaningfully more than a standard beach day elsewhere on the island. See our nightlife guide for how these transition into evening venues.
Where to stay
Surin's accommodation leans firmly upscale — see our villas guide for the private villa estates that cluster around this stretch of coast alongside a handful of high-end hotels.
Getting there
A short drive from both Kamala and Bang Tao — most visitors pass through as part of exploring the wider north-west coast rather than basing an entire stay here.
