Located on Maenam Beach, Santiburi is a name recognized throughout the
island for having set a standard of excellence in luxury and service since it first
opened over 25 years ago. It's built on an expansive estate, resplendent with
mature flora which presents a feeling of tropical seclusion. Upon arrival, tell
the friendly reception staff that you're dining at The Beach House; an electric
buggy will appear and wind you through the bricked paths of this glorious
tropical 'plantation' to your destination.
Arriving, you'll be greeted by a radiant tropical island vista of tall undulating
coconut trees lining a pristine white sandy beach and enveloping the open-air
restaurant in shade. Choose to sit inside the floor-to-ceiling, chic windowed
bar, on the adjacent wooden terrace or take off your shoes and eat with your
feet in the sand on the beach.
The Beach House also hosts various themed events throughout the year, with
special themed dishes, entertainment and other surprises. Just call and find out
what's on the agenda.
Widely-travelled and highly experienced Swiss Executive Chef Adrian
Hauenstein is the innovative master in the kitchen. All of his creations are
highly recommended. The tuna tataki, comprised of seared yellow fin tuna
with sesame crust, pineapple salsa and guacamole is amazing, and the perfect
dish with which to begin the dining experience at The Beach House.
Top recommendations are the restaurant's signature surf & turf dishes, which
are cooked in a wood-fired oven to give it that distinct yet subtle smoky
flavour. Check out the vast array of pairings of the freshest Samui seafood and
succulent imported meats. Select an ever-changing 'Catch of the Day', pair it
with your choice of meat and challenge the chef to create a new dish just for
you.
Adrian's signature dishes creatively combine other turf elements, such as Andes
quinoa with seared Hokkaido scallops and prawns, or forest mushrooms with
local barramundi in a fragrant miso broth. Of course you'll find the 'Champion
of Recommendations', the tournedos of beef with tiger prawns – charcoalgrilled
and served with garlic flavoured crushed potatoes and crispy brie. These
are just some of the reasons The Beach House is renowned as THE place to go
for exquisite surf & turf on Samui.
As difficult as it may be, save room for dessert. There's a great selection of
ice-creams, sorbets and other delights to sate your sweet tooth. Throw caution
to the wind and order the ridiculously delicious Santiburi chocolate brownie
with refreshing yoghurt ice-cream and salted caramel sauce. It is decadent, but
isn't that what holidays are for?
Its fabulous location, superb service and delicious cuisine make The Beach
House one of Samui's best and a highly recommended must-visit.
