New Year 2019

58 1806LU09 Situated on Thong Krut Beach, on the southern coast of Koh Samui, Hemingway’s on the Beach offers a relaxed and authentic dining experience in one of the most picturesque of locales. In May, the restaurant was recognised in LUXLife Magazine’s 2018 Leaders in Luxury: Food and Drink programme as the ‘Best Casual Dining Beachfront Restaurant in Thailand’. Eager to find out more, we took a closer look at this popular establishment. Luxury can be defined in many ways. For some, it is an unattainable thing, or the rarest of treats, just out of reach. For others, it is in the everyday – experiences, sights, food – that help create unforgettable memories. Hemingway’s finds its place in the latter, creating an easy, relaxed dining experience that is elevated beyond the ordinary through their dedication to fresh ingredients, charming atmosphere and an idyllic view. With its beach bar theming, western influences and authentic Thai menu, tourists and locals alike can find something to enjoy about Hemingway’s on the Beach. Though the food is certainly a highlight: with a dedication to using the freshest of ingredients sourced from just outside their front door, Hemingway’s creates dishes that are colourful and inviting with the bombastic punch of flavour typical of Thai cuisine. In particular, the sea bass comes highly recommended. In addition to the food, Hemingway’s also hosts a Thai Cookery School with Head Chef Jaa, perfect for those who want to learn how to recreate some of the restaurants finest dishes. On top of that, they also organise boating, fishing and island tours for those who are eager to explore the treasures that lie just beyond the horizon, or beneath the water’s surface. All in all, Hemingway’s on the Beach remains a must-visit establishment for those that find themselves on the beautiful island of Koh Samui – the perfect place to relax and watch the sun set after a long day of exploring.
