Also worth noting is Cape Fahn’s commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. As mentioned, seafood restaurant Long Dtai at the resort has been serving up sustainable seafood with a strong focus on marine conservation, but their efforts don’t just stop there—Cape Fahn has also eliminated single-use plastic items such as straws, bottles, cups and cutlery. 

5. Close proximity to a picturesque beach and the Fisherman's Village

Don’t forget to take a leisurely stroll along the Choeng Mon Beach, which is best known for its powder-soft sand and clear waters. The beach sits just 300 metres from the northeast corner of the island, and guests can walk to and fro at low tide, or take a small boat (or truck) during high tide.  
 
After enjoying the beautiful scenery and taking some artsy shots at the beach, you can explore the Fisherman’s Village nearby for a truly unique Koh Samui experience. The historic area is bustling with speciality stores, restaurants and bars, as well as an atmospheric street market. What's not to love?
