This is a friendly, cosy, boutique resort; inspired by a combination of South African island style thatched house and Thai odorous flowers. "MIMOSA" is a genus (like family) of about 2,400 species of herbs, shrubs and trees such as Mimosa Pudica, Rain tree and Water Mimosa. The most curious plant in the genus is "Mimosa Pudica" or TickleMe Plant because of the way it folds its leaves when touched, tickled or exposed to heat.

The hotel is located on BaanTai Beach, in the Maenam district in the north of Ko Samui. It is on the same beach as the Napasai hotel. The tranquil beach is also surrounded by original coconut trees and offers stunning sea views over Ang Thong Marine National Park and Ko Pha Ngan. The hotel is just 800 meters from main road and 3 km from town centre (Maenam market). It is not too far from the entertainment options but not too close to the main road to hear traffic and noise pollution. The hotel has cars and vans to pick up guests. Ko Samui Airport and the ferry pier are about 10 km from the establishment.
