KOH SAMUI, THAILAND, 13 August 2025 – W Koh Samui, the magnetic escape under Marriott International, is turning up the heat for summer’s last hurrah with a line-up of curated activations designed to energise, indulge and inspire. August and September are stacked with BBQs under the stars, culinary collabs, all-day beats and revitalising wellness rituals, each with a signature twist of W-style island flair. The hotel’s Suite Insider Escape package is perfect for those traveling with friends and families, with spa, roundtrip airport transfer, cocktail class and more offered from now till end of October.
Ongoing island antics
Every Friday night, Exotica at WOOBAR fires up the weekend from 8:00 pm with eclectic cocktails, rare tinctures and rhythm-led mixes courtesy of music curator Armando Mendes and rotating guest DJs. From pure sonic indulgence to live performers and a fire spectacle that sets the night ablaze, the weekly event is the island’s favourite.
Saturdays begin on a more mellow note with Sunset Social, a barefoot beach BBQ under golden hour skies from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. Paired with live music, it’s a laid-back soirée with mouth-watering grilled delights (THB 1,800++ per person). Later that night, Ladies First kicks off from 8:00 pm at WOOBAR, with complimentary bubbles for ladies (one glass per person or a bottle for groups of four), a special deal of spritzers and G&Ts, and a fire show.
For the culinarily curious, Premium Cooking Class at signature Japanese restaurant Namu is an invitation to sharpen their kitchen game with hands-on instruction, vibrant flavours and a takeaway certificate. Limited to six participants per session; 24-hour advance booking is required.
Every last Sunday of the month, Healthy Brunch + HIIT with Owen offers a bright-eyed morning that starts with a sweat and ends with a guilt-free feast. The HIIT session moderated by a certified nutritionist runs from 9:30 am to 10:30 am, followed by a Balanced Brunch at The Kitchen Table from 11:30 am till 3:00 pm (THB 1,800 net per person). Curated by Owen, the menu includes shaken or stirred ceviche, coconut Pad Thai, lacto-fermented veggies, keto bread and some guilt-free indulgences – all carefully selected by Owen to help you hit your macros without tipping your calorie budget.
August highlights
On 13 August, cocktail king and Nusa Caña rum visionary Dré Masso flies in from London for a guest shift at SIP Beach Bar.

A September to remember
