It’s vacation time, so you’ll have plenty of time to indulge in long, lazy brunches that last for hours, along with your favourite company and a tasty breakfast fare. A paradisiacal beachfront setting with sweeping views of the ocean is cherry on top of the cake. We can’t always promise spectacular ocean vistas, but at the following haunts, a mouthwatering meal is guaranteed:

Angela’s Bakery & Cafe

You can’t go wrong with Sunday brunch at Nikki Beach. A weekly fixture on its events calendar, the aptly named “Amazing Sunday Brunch” offers an impressive feast. Come with an empty stomach, because you’ll need lots of space to sample over 40 dishes, ranging from breakfast favourites like waffles, crêpes, sausages and bacon, to heartier options like seafood, sushi and meat carvings.

If you’re feeling fancy, start off brunch with a flute of bubbly (a complimentary mimosa or bellini is offered as part of the meal). Nikki Beach’s lush compound – made up of towering palms, a turquoise pool, cushy daybeds and ample throw pillows – makes brunching here an enviable affair.

The beautifully named Hemingway’s on the Beach is nestled away along the quiet coasts of Thong Krut in Samui. The setting is informal (diners wander in barefoot) and laidback, and the indoor/outdoor design makes the best out of the restaurant’s picturesque surroundings.

This is the place to go if you’re in the mood for savouring local fare; some of the tastiest plates of Thai dishes are served right from the kitchen, whipped up by the owner and chef Jaa. Don’t be in a hurry to leave after your brunch. Step out to the coast and you’ll find a handful of recliners laid out upon the sandy shores, inviting you to sit back and relax with a cocktail or an ice-cold beer.
