A romantic guide to what couples and guests can experience on the island before and after the big day.
A destination wedding isn’t just about the ceremony, it’s about the experience that unfolds around it.
Here, life moves a little slower. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy every moment before the celebrations begin.
From sunset cocktails to laid-back beach brunches, this is how to make your wedding celebration stretch into an unforgettable week in paradise.
Day 1: Arrival & Welcome to the Island
The excitement begins the moment you arrive on Koh Samui. Guests settle into their villas or beachfront resorts, ready to embrace island life and the warm tropical air.
Start your week with a relaxed welcome evening, perhaps a casual dinner by the beach or drinks as the sun sets. Keep it easy and friendly, giving everyone a chance to meet, reconnect, and feel at home on the island.
Day 2: Island Adventures & Exploration
Once everyone’s settled, it’s time to explore. Koh Samui is full of experiences to suit every mood, from snorkelling and paddleboarding to hiking to hidden waterfalls.
For a slower pace, guests might enjoy a spa day, a local cooking class, or a beach picnic with Thai favourites and tropical fruit. The key is to balance adventure with relaxation, so everyone feels refreshed and inspired for the days ahead.
Day 3: Pre-Wedding Gathering
As the wedding approaches, bring everyone together for a pre-wedding celebration. A sunset dinner on the sand, a private villa party, or a clifftop cocktail evening are all great ways to set the tone.
Choose something that reflects your style, relaxed and beachy or chic and refined. Add live music, gentle lighting, and simple coastal décor for an evening that feels warm and welcoming.
Day 4: The Wedding Day
The big day has arrived. The island is calm, the light is soft, and everything feels just right.
Whether you’re saying your vows beneath palm trees, in a tropical garden, or overlooking the sea, Koh Samui provides a stunning backdrop for your ceremony.
As the evening unfolds, guests enjoy dinner under the stars, surrounded by the sound of the ocean and the glow of candlelight. It’s a celebration that feels both natural and unforgettable.
Day 5: The Morning After
The morning after the wedding is for slow starts and shared stories. Enjoy a relaxed brunch with your guests, fresh fruit, coffee, and time to unwind together.
Some couples choose to spend the day at the spa or take a private boat trip to nearby islands. It’s the perfect way to end the celebrations on a calm and joyful note.
Day 6–7: Honeymoon Bliss
Once your guests head home, stay on the island a little longer to begin your honeymoon. Koh Samui is filled with romantic spots to explore, quiet beaches, scenic viewpoints, and hidden restaurants where the ocean is always in sight.
Spend your days exploring or simply relaxing by the pool. After all, this is your time to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the first days of married life together.
Your Island Story Begins Here
