Nana Beach

Nana Beach Samui is a laid-back beachfront restaurant and bar on a quieter stretch of Maenam Beach, around 300 metres from the Ring Road opposite Maenam Soi 1. The short drive down the village road quickly leaves the main traffic behind and ends with tables, loungers and open views across the water towards Koh Phangan.

The kitchen serves traditional Thai dishes alongside familiar international choices, with fresh seafood, curries, pizzas and easy beach food all appearing on the menu. Cocktails, cold beers and sunset drinks keep the tables occupied well beyond lunch.

Sunbeds are available for diners, so guests can move between the sea, the shade and the restaurant without packing up after every swim. Nana Beach can also be reached directly from the water, making it a useful stop for people exploring Maenam by jet ski.

Fire shows add extra energy on selected evenings, while private parties and beachfront weddings occasionally take over the venue. Most days are simpler: good Thai food, drinks on the sand and one of Maenam’s broad west-facing sunset views.
