Central Samui Mall
Central Samui, officially Central Festival Samui, is Koh Samui's largest shopping mall, located right on Chaweng Beach Road in the heart of the island's main resort town. With over 200 stores across four themed zones — Chaweng Port, Birdcage, Fisherman Village, and Beach Town Market — it's the island's main hub for air-conditioned shopping, dining, and entertainment.
The mall's design draws on Koh Samui's local heritage, blending an open-air atrium and landscaped gardens with international fashion brands, a full-size cinema, a large Tops supermarket, and a food court alongside sit-down restaurants. It's a popular midday escape from the heat, as well as an easy dinner stop before heading to nearby Chaweng Walking Street or the beach.
A large outdoor terrace at the main Chaweng Port entrance hosts cafés and bars with views over Chaweng Lake.
