Where to Go for Family-Friendly NYE Dinners on Koh Samui

Amari is famous for being one of the most family-centric resorts on the island, and their 2025 Gala is no exception. The theme is "The Golden Hours," featuring a massive beachfront buffet and a dedicated kids' corner. The highlight for parents is the pricing: kids under 10 eat for free! The night includes a live band, a Thai dance performance, a dazzling fire show, and a private fireworks display right on Chaweng Beach, keeping you away from the chaotic crowds of the main strip.

If your family loves a spectacle, head to the Hyatt Regency for their "Tropical White Soirée." This resort knows how to throw a party. The event takes place at the SESUN Grill & Beach Bar, ensuring sand-between-your-toes luxury. The night is packed with entertainment, including a live DJ, lucky draws, and mesmerizing fire shows. It’s a high-energy but safe environment for teens and older kids to enjoy the "party" vibe of Samui without the roughness of the public beach parties.

For families with older children or teens who appreciate a touch of luxury, Silavadee offers the most elegant experience on the list. The theme "Escape to Elegance" invites guests to dress in White, Champagne, and Gold. Perched on the rocks of Lamai, the view of the fireworks across the Gulf of Thailand is unmatched. The gala includes a premium international buffet and a "Surprise Show." It’s sophisticated, exclusive, and perfect for a memorable family photo.

Located on the peaceful southwestern coast (Taling Ngam), Avani+ is ideal for families wanting to escape the noise of the east coast. Their "New Year’s Eve in Paradise" dinner features contemporary Thai dance and a fire show. A nice touch for families is the complimentary sparkling wine for adults and mocktails for children during the countdown. It feels personal, relaxed, and the sunset views from this side of the island are the best way to say goodbye to 2025.

Choeng Mon Beach is widely considered the most family-friendly beach on Samui, and SALA is its crown jewel. Their "Gala and Glamour" night invites you to dine right on the soft sand. The event features a "Cabaret Show" and cultural performances that keep kids mesmerized. The grand finale is a private fireworks display that feels incredibly close. The dress code is Black & Gold, so get the little ones dressed up for a fancy night out!
