Ceremony Locations
The Beach
Max. 200 guests
On this completely private stretch of beach, InterContinental has two distinct beach venues. The seaside beach is a short walk from the main guest areas and located in front of The Lawn, offering a secluded outdoor option. Alternatively, for a more conveniently located option, the Flames Beach is great. Whilst smaller, its elevated space is protected from the changing tides and provides quick access for your guests to the cocktail and reception locations.
The Azure Lounge
Max. 80 guests
This is one of our favourite cliff-top wedding venues in all of Koh Samui. The 300 degree panoramic perspective of the open ocean, towering mountains and idyllic blue sky is simply awe-inspiring. With a turn of the head, the openness of the rooftop evokes a strong sense of being in the clouds. The magnificent view is complemented by the sleek modern design of the open plan Air Bar. With the ability to see from one end of the rooftop to the other, this venue will undoubtedly create a striking wedding experience for you and your guests.
The Beachfront Lawn
Max. 200 guests
For a relaxed and laid-back garden wedding with views of the open beach and ocean, The Lawn is ideal. Enclosed in front of four private beach villas and away from the main guest areas, this location is exceptionally private. This level manicured space, lined with tall palm trees on either side, is both beautiful and functional - ideal for an amazing celebration.
