When you stay at The Beach Village Condo, you’re not just booking a place to sleep — you’re placing yourself in the heart of one of Thailand’s most beautiful and unspoilt regions. Step outside your front door and within minutes you can choose between peaceful beaches, dramatic limestone mountains, or bustling local markets.
This guide has been created to make your holiday planning easier. Instead of searching countless websites, you’ll find the best activities, sights, and hidden gems right here. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, adventure, culture, or family fun, everything is close enough that you spend less time travelling and more time making memories.
Beaches & Waterfront Relaxation
One of the best parts about staying at The Beach Village Condo is that the beach is never far away. In fact, within just a five-minute stroll you’ll be on Sam Roi Yot Beach, a long stretch of sand that feels peaceful and unspoilt. It’s the perfect place for a quiet morning walk, a refreshing swim, or simply to sit back and watch the fishing boats glide by.
If you’re after calm waters ideal for swimming or paddleboarding, Dolphin Bay is right on your doorstep too. Families love it for its gentle waves and safe shoreline, while early risers often spot the local fishermen bringing in their catch of the day.
For a livelier scene, Hua Hin Beach is about 45 minutes away by car. Here you’ll find water sports, horse riding along the sand, and beachside restaurants serving everything from fresh seafood to international favourites. It’s the perfect day trip if you want a mix of activity and atmosphere before heading back to the peace and quiet of Sam Roi Yot.
What’s in it for you? Whether you crave tranquillity, safe family fun, or a lively day out, you’ll find a beach to match your mood — all easily reached from your holiday home.
National Parks & Natural Wonders
Right on your doorstep lies Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand’s very first coastal national park and a paradise for nature lovers. The name means “Mountain of 300 Peaks”, and when you see the dramatic limestone cliffs rising above the coastline, you’ll understand why. It’s a place where you can hike, explore, and feel close to nature without the need for long journeys.
One of the highlights is Phraya Nakhon Cave, home to the iconic Kuha Karuhas Pavilion. At certain times of the day, sunlight beams through an opening in the cave roof and lights up the small golden temple — a sight that feels almost magical. Reaching the cave takes a short hike or a scenic boat ride plus a walk, but the reward is unforgettable.
For a gentler outing, the park’s freshwater marshes offer a haven for birdwatchers and photographers. Expect to see herons, kingfishers, and sometimes rarer migratory birds. Wooden boardwalks let you wander safely across the wetlands with mountain views in the background.
What’s in it for you? Adventure when you want it, and serenity when you don’t. From caves and cliffs to wetlands and wildlife, Khao Sam Roi Yot gives you a true taste of Thailand’s natural beauty — just minutes from your condo.
Culture & Local Markets
A holiday in Sam Roi Yot isn’t only about beaches and mountains — it’s also a chance to experience authentic Thai culture. Within a short drive, you’ll find temples, markets, and local traditions that bring this part of Thailand to life.
Start with Wat Khao Takiab, often called Monkey Mountain Temple. Set on a hilltop overlooking the sea, it offers sweeping views and the chance to get up close to the cheeky monkeys that call it home. It’s a fun stop for families and a peaceful place to take in the coastline from above.
For something more spiritual, visit Wat Huay Mongkol, famous for its giant statue of the revered monk Luang Phor Thuad. Many Thai people travel here to pay their respects, and it’s a wonderful way to see local customs and connect with the country’s spiritual side.
In the evenings, head into Hua Hin’s Night Market or Cicada Market. These buzzing spaces are filled with food stalls, handmade crafts, live music, and a lively atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Thai street food or pick up a unique souvenir to take home.
What’s in it for you? The chance to go beyond sightseeing and experience Thailand the way locals do — through temples, traditions, and the tastes of its vibrant markets.
Sports & Active Pursuits
If relaxing by the pool isn’t enough, Sam Roi Yot gives you plenty of ways to stay active. Whether you’re a golfer, a cyclist, or someone who just loves to try something new, you’ll find activities that fit your style of holiday.
Golf enthusiasts are spoiled for choice, with some of Thailand’s top courses within easy reach. Black Mountain Golf Club, Pineapple Valley Golf Club, and Springfield Royal are all world-class courses offering beautiful scenery, challenging play, and welcoming clubhouses. It’s the perfect excuse to pack your clubs and enjoy a round in the sunshine.
For something more relaxed, the area is ideal for cycling. Flat, scenic roads wind through coconut groves and villages, giving you a safe and peaceful way to explore. You can use the resort’s free bicycles for a gentle ride, or head out on longer routes if you’re more experienced.
Water lovers can try kayaking or paddleboarding in Dolphin Bay, or even take a boat trip to Monkey Island to see monkeys playing on the sand. If you prefer land-based adventures, there are plenty of hiking trails in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, ranging from easy walks to more challenging climbs with spectacular views at the top.
What’s in it for you? The freedom to keep your holiday as active — or as laid back — as you like. From championship golf to gentle bike rides or kayaking with the family, there’s something here for every pace and every age.
Family-Friendly Fun
Travelling with children? You’ll be glad to know there’s plenty nearby to keep everyone entertained. Families love Sam Roi Yot because it blends peaceful surroundings with easy access to exciting days out.
For a splash of adventure, head into Hua Hin where you’ll find Vana Nava Water Jungle and Black Mountain Water Park. With wave pools, lazy rivers, and slides of every size, they’re a guaranteed hit with kids and adults alike. Perfect for a full day out when you want to combine fun with cooling off in the tropical heat.
Closer to home, families often enjoy local boat trips. A short ride from Dolphin Bay takes you to see dolphins in their natural habitat or to Monkey Island, where monkeys play freely along the shoreline — a memorable sight for children and adults.
And when you need something calmer, there’s always the option of a gentle cycle ride through the coconut groves on the resort’s free bikes, or simply building sandcastles on the quiet local beach just five minutes from your door.
What’s in it for you? Happy kids mean relaxed parents. From water parks to wildlife, you’ll find activities that turn family holidays into unforgettable memories.
Food & Dining
Great holidays are built around great meals, and here you’ll be spoiled for choice. Whether you want to tuck into fresh seafood with your toes in the sand or enjoy a cosy meal back at your condo, everything is close at hand.
Just a short walk away you’ll find beachfront restaurants serving the catch of the day — prawns, squid, and fish cooked the Thai way, full of flavour and freshness. There’s nothing quite like dining outdoors with the sound of the sea in the background.
If you feel like exploring, Hua Hin is just a 45-minute drive and offers everything from authentic street food to stylish cafés and international dining. It’s a great option for an evening out, with plenty of atmosphere to go with your meal.
Prefer something easy after a busy day? The resort’s very own Coconut Tree Restaurant offers dine-in or takeaway. Or, make use of your condo’s fully equipped kitchen to prepare a simple breakfast, a packed lunch for your adventures, or even a home-cooked dinner.
What’s in it for you? Flexibility. From local flavours to international favourites, from dining out to cooking in, you decide how you want to eat — and it’s all available within minutes.
