Nikki Beach Koh Samui - White Party & Sunday Brunch

My dear friends and followers,

It's finally here!
What, who, when, where? Well, my Nikki Beach Koh Samui series Part III of course!
I know you've been anxiously waiting for it...

I bet it's pretty obvious for everyone by now that I just love that place!
Why else would I talk about it all the time?
😊

For those who don't know it yet, Nikki Beach KS and I go way back. It will always have a special place in my heart because this is the place where I came up with an idea for my business, which is nowadays my hospitality expert's brand, Touchse - Touch of Success & Excellence!
Because of that life-changing moment, that idea that I had my entire life is very different from what I thought it would be and I couldn't be happier about it.
I don't think all this would have happened had I stayed anywhere else. It was Kismet!
So, that's the long story short, story behind my eternal love for Nikki Beach Koh Samui. Thus, for me, it's not special only because I've loved every one of my stays there but also because it was the starting point for the snowball effect that changed my life.

On my Nikki Beach Koh Samui reviews Part I and Part II I promised to tell you a bit more about Nikki Beach Koh Samui's party side, so here we go! Get ready!



Nikki Beach Koh Samui is a place where your soul rests and feet dance - which one of these would you like to do? The choice is yours!

"Overlooking the crystal blue waters of Lipa Noi Beach, the Beach Club & Restaurant at Nikki Beach Resort Koh Samui has become known for the incredible events, cuisine, cocktails, accommodations and unsurpassed VIP experience since its debut in 2009."

The Annual White Party

I was on my #TouchseGoesAsia2 tour in March 2017. It so happened that at Nikki Beach Koh Samui the 8th annual White Party was about to take place - what a timing! 

The event has grown every year and they say: "You really are part of Nikki Beach family once you've attended the White Party!" However, unfortunately, not once have I been in Asia at the same time, so I was extremely happy to hear that this time I would be able to make it and even more so when I heard that I was invited as VIP guest - thanks, guys!

The only problem I had was the fact that in Finland it is pretty difficult to find any white dresses during the winter time as up here people wear jackets filled with feathers, woolen clothes, and beanies etc. for about 6 months of the year, due to our cold weather.
Finally, I found something completely white to wear, but sorry my dear readers, you won't be able to see a photo of my outfit. Why? Well... because of this weird unfortunate incident that I had; my SD card on Go Pro Hero 5 camera got completely wiped empty somehow. And I basically filmed the entire White Party evening with it!
Uh, please, don't ask what happened, I believe it was some kind of malfunction,  and I actually returned the camera to the store. On the other hand, this blog post isn't about me, it's about Nikki Beach Koh Samui and two of its parties!

By the way, did you know that according to rumors White Party has started when Naomi Campbell had her birthday party and she wanted everyone to wear white. True? Not sure, but could very well be. 

Since I stayed at Nikki Beach couple of nights before the White Party I got to see how the resort turned from a relaxed holiday resort with blue skies and into this white party paradise. 



So, the world famous White Party took place at Nikki Beach Koh Samui on the 17th March 2017. The dress code was strictly white, which naturally looks good on everyone that has worked on their tan - which, by the way, is so easy in Thailand, where people are happy and smiling and the sun is shining!


The "Invitation only" VIP party took place at first, from 7-9 pm.
When guests arrived, they (we) all got gift bags with some Nikki Beach spa products, cocktail glass etc. in it, after which guests were given a wristband to indicate the VIP status. 


The actual VIP party was upstairs so that guests were able to check out the future spa treatment area, which, hopefully, will open officially in July 2017. These future spa treatment rooms had beautiful decor, very warm and yet luxurious colors and lovely, relaxing ambiance, so peaceful (even with the music that you were able to hear from the performing area). 
VIP guests also had an opportunity to get a short shoulder/neck massage, which was such a nice gesture. Although, I'm more of a good foot massage fan. I can't wait for that spa to open! I can already see myself booking a wonderful foot massage on some Monday morning after dancing the entire day at the Sunday Brunch party just a day before! 
The resort provides its guests their signature Aromatherapy products in bathrooms and those same products will be used in their spa as well.

Naturally, VIP guests were served with Champagne and canapes during the VIP party - just perfect as you probably already know, when I want to have a drink, it will be either Champagne or a Mimosa...

There was a stage also at the VIP reception. 
Singer Aria Moore, guitarist Victor and violinist Ulya performed for guests and naturally also Nikki Beach Koh Samui's own dancers- all wonderful shows.



Oh, and of course, since this is Nikki Beach, something out of the ordinary was happening... namely dancers weren't only on stage but also in a giant cocktail glass! That was pretty cool! 
Although it was VIP party, it was relaxing and fun -  not at all stiff and too posh. 
It was nice to notice how guests were all just chilling, having a great time, mingling and chatting to each other. 


That two hours felt like an hour, but you know what they say; in a good company, time flies! So it was time to go downstairs, to the actual main event area. 
I had a seat in the event's main sponsor's Freixenet's table, which was quite handy as I admit, I happen to love Freixenet! Thank you so much for my lovely table company; the representative of Freixenet, General Manager of Rocky's Boutique Resort and General Manager of New Star Resort. I had a great night!


This was an excellent event for relaxing, dancing, having fun and also connecting with people. The party area had such a beautiful decorations, very stylish and elegant, and, naturally, very white! I specifically loved those probably hundreds of white balloons all over the place!

And since it is Nikki Beach Koh Samui, which is famous for its excellent, delicious food, naturally we got some tasty snacks to our table as well and I have to say, we had no problems eating them all! Thanks to great kitchen staff, especially chef Mark, who certainly knows what he's doing.




Nikki Beach Koh Samui's restaurant and pool areas are truly perfect for this type of events. There was constantly something happening and the night went by way too quickly! Although I was filming and photographing a lot, I did find time to dance (which I also love!) and check out the shows performed. I specifically was impressed by the fire dancers as that is, literally, one hot show!!

As if this evening hadn't been magical enough, at the end of this unforgettable night there was, even more, sparks, namely spectacular fireworks show - what a way to end a perfect night!

GO FOR IT - it's worth it!
If you ever have an opportunity to attend to this event, do it! It may not be the cheapest party on the island, but most certainly is one of the coolest, hottest and trendiest ones! It's the party that everyone wants to go to! There's pretty much always some famous and less famous celebrities there as well. This year there were, for example, Romeo Okwara of the New York Giants and Corey Robinson, son of the famous NBA player, David Robinson and many more...
Ok,  let me just say, don't get me wrong, it's not just for the famous and beautiful. This spectacular event is for everyone that loves a good party with fun people and great entertainment!

It was everything I expected and even more! And I will most certainly do my best to make it again next year!

Sunday Brunch - FundaySunday!

Another party that Nikki Beach Koh Samui is famous for is its Sunday Brunch. 


Whereas White Party is once a year, Sunday Brunch is a weekly event with a different theme on every Sunday. On this particular Sunday, the theme was Superheroes! And to be honest, that's what these entertainers are - they make everyone smile and have a good time!


The brunch buffet starts already at 11 AM and it goes on for 5 hours, i.e. until 4 PM. During the brunch there's entertaining and shows going on, DJ's playing music that is suitable pretty much to everyone's taste as it's relaxed, modern, a little bit of jazz and groove, which, in my opinion, is perfect for a pool party.
Music and entertainment: Andy Vier, Henry Jimenez, Shane Shine and Gee Sax.




I've attended to numerous Sunday Brunch parties and never regretted any of them, even with sore feet the following day for dancing basically the entire day (except when jumping into the pool, which is, by the way, is a much cooler way to party!). 

Just to let you know, there will be Champagne showers by the pool at times! So watch out!
That's COOL! Dancers and waitresses bring along giant bottles of sparkling, dancing and walking around the pool area, spraying the sparkling around... music is on and guests are partying - FUN, FUN, FUN!




Oh, and even though the actual brunch service is over at 4 pm the party goes on until sunset and it's not just my opinion, but others' too; this place provides its guests the most amazing sunsets!


I presume it's pretty clear to everyone that the food is absolutely divine! It includes an array of action stations, for example, pasta, waffle, omelette, crepe... There's also grill stations, where you get to have all kinds of tasty, tender, delicious meat. On each brunch Chef prepares also Chef's specials.One thing Nikki Beach Koh Samui is famous for is its sushi. I'm not much of a sushi fan (can't eat seafood) but everyone who has had sushi here has said it's fantastic. 

Naturally, there are salads, cheese, desserts etc. I have many food restrictions due to my allergies and this is one place where I can happily eat without having all the trouble in the world trying to get something that suits me. 


On every brunch I've eaten more than enough and I'm so happy for that as it doesn't happen too often that I get to eat a variety of foods without worrying whether it's suitable or not. Here's always many dishes that I can also have, which is nice, I don't have to present my special requests for once! Even lovely, homemade desserts had something suitable for me, which is very rare having gluten intolerance and allergy for seeds and nuts. (Loved those strawberry delicacies, on the upper right corner of the photo below!)


Packages for Sunday Brunches

Price, in my opinion, is very reasonable considering how much and how many types of food there is, for how long it's being served and because it also comes with a complimentary welcome Champagne cocktail.

Guests can be dining and lounging on Nikki Beach signature sunbeds, which I love, especially since most of the time I'm all by myself so I get to spread my bag, hat, camera etc. to the sun lounge and not to worry about running out of space... There are also pillows and towels on sun lounges, provided by Nikki Beach so even if you join the party outside the resort, you do not need your own towels.

There are four different bed area packages on Sunday Brunches for guests to choose from, depending on what it is that you are looking for - party with VIP services nearby the DJ's booth & dance floor/pool or perhaps more quiet spot by the ocean - there's something for everyone!

You will have fun here regardless of which of the above options you choose! For me, it's all about this mutual feeling of Celebration of Life that we, guests, share with one and other. Everyone wants the same thing: have a fun, chill day, relax, eat hot food, drink cool drinks, dance, swim - just let your hair down - or heels up - doesn't matter - just be yourself, smile and ENJOY LIFE - here that's very easy!



I could keep telling you how wonderful and fun this place is but we all know it, the best way to enjoy something is to experience it yourself!

So, if you are looking for a relaxing, fun, chill, hot, hip and cool place for your summer - or winter - vacation, make sure you check out this option. I may be biased because of my emotional bond with the place, but since it's not me, but also hundreds of other guests that say this place is fantastic, it must be! So what are you waiting for? Great deals?
