Over the top - Heartful Earth Cuisine - Edit
This place has it all:
Read more- A delicious plant-based restaurant with creations that will rouse all your senses and titillate your taste buds. They grow the vegetables on the very land in the back of the restaurant! The chef is Michelin trained and this shows.
- An amazing location with a bird's eye view on the Bay, this view is truly stunning.
- A rooftop mixology Bar with cocktails that are both whimsical and delicious, thanks Tito!
- A beautifully designed resort with an almost obsessive attention to detail, they have magnificent tents, overlooking the bay that are better than any high-end hotel room out there.
- A purpose: Kapuhala aims to build a community of socially, environmentally and spiritually conscious people through a holistic approach to training, nutrition and living.
This is not to be missed if you are looking for a breathtaking experience. There is a more beautiful world out there and Halapua is a living expression of it.

Best Resort with a purpose - Edit
This resort is not only breathtaking, situated on the top of the mountain, it will also surprise you at all level.
Read moreThey only serve food they grow themselves, and they are really creative with it. It's a refreshing new cuisine taste with a 5 stars chef.
They have their own cocktails creator, that will make you rethink your concept of cocktails.
The staff is very friendly and professional and their sense of service goes above and beyond.
Pros: breathtaking location, amazing creative new cuisine, fabulous staff
Cons: can't think of any

From a non Vegan point of view - Edit
I'm not a vegan or plant based person however I did decide to go to Halapua by Kapuhala which is a full "plant based" restaurant and much to my surprise there was a LOT of choice and I actually decided to order two meals to try a couple of different things and both were amazing. I left completely satisfied and would definitely go back. The Roof top bar is amazing, go at sunset for pre dinner drinks, amazing!
Read morePros: Massive choice of food , Rooftop Bar, Great customer service
Cons: taxis don't know where it is yet, doesn't sell any type of meat or animal products

Not selling any type of meat or animal products is a PRO, not a Con!

My First Vegan Weekend - Edit
I thought the accommodations, dining, amenities and overall feel at Kapuhala Koh Samui were absolutely one step above the best! This resort is practical, luxurious and eco + health-focused all in one — a truly unique experience! Although I am not vegan, the dining menu could sway anyone towards a healthier diet packed full of all the nutrition needed to get through an active athletic day, especially the breakfasts! The evening dining menu is a very special experience and adventure into vegan dining that I truly appreciated. Take the 3-day vegan challenge! The resort grounds and sea-view vistas are so special, honestly, this felt like a place to call home. Love the 200-meter concrete track around this boutique resort. I made a Strava segment out of it, thinking it would be a nice end of stay experience to enjoy a time trial challenge! https://www.strava.com/activities/2846927484 Updated from previous review on 2019-11-17
Read morePros: Very special menu to power athletes all day, Tastes as amazing and it all looks, Pool side dining and in room service is excellent
Cons: Consider hot weather season outdoor dining, More unique dishes coming soon?, Willing to pay for supreme quality and experience

The best vegan experience on Koh Samui - Edit
Today we had the best vegan experience ever! I’m talking about Kapuhala Koh Samui. Amazing food, big portions. We took appetizer, main and dessert for each of us, but it turns out that I’m too much. Food is really delicious. Stuff is very friendly and speak English. Must visit place on Samui. Amazing view.

Highly recommend! - Edit
Besides the amazing presentation, my family and I were so pleasantly surprised at how flavourful and filling Halapua’s dishes are. They are pleasing to the eye and super tasty! I’m a vegetarian and initially was concerned with how a completely plant-based meal was going to be fully satisfying. I now wish I was this creative in the kitchen and could eat this way always. Several dishes were enjoyed, and my 8 year old son is now their biggest fan. Halapua delivers exciting new flavors that appeal to everyone. We also visited the Mixology lounge upstairs. Wow.. such creativity and delicious flavour combinations. Updated from previous review on 2019-11-15

Amazing new experience - Edit
I am not a vegan/vegetarian so when my wife picked up a vegan venue I was not overly enthusiastic at first, but things changed very quickly! Halapua is located in a breathtaking location in the middle of the jungle, with a splendid terrace overlooking the sea. The cocktails (yes, plural!) were delicate with a subtle mix of different flavors, with a special mention to the Pasion del Mar... the mixologist was a passionate and friendly young man and told us all his interesting stories about each of the drink. Halapua really changed my view on vegan dining. The food was succulent, the flavors were rich but not overwhelming and blended perfectly. I am quite a big eater and always have an apprehension when it comes to new cuisine, but the portions were satisfying for me. My favorites were “fromage frais” and the “vegan brie” (I am French and a cheese lover). At the end of our meal, the executive chef came to us and shared his love for vegan dining and the making of the different dishes too. Although this is not our everyday restaurant but for a special experience, it was beyond our expectations. Thank you for such an amazing evening! We look forward to come back again.

Most Intimate place and 100% Vegan a must try! - Edit
Our family is a fan of trying out different places, cultures and of course food! Halapua is one for the books, word's may not be enough to describe how we fell in love it and enjoyed every moment we were there. The Atmosphere is perfect, friendly staff and one of the most memorable and 100% Vegan food if you are like me who always worry about animal products, well not here! They serve interesting flavour combinations the smell and just the look of it melts in your mouth, it was indeed a delight as they made us feel that this is not so ordinary dinner it was special :), but that's not all though even cocktails were vegan, no egg whites in it and surprisingly it's the best I've ever had! (Don't forget to try it when you are there, you'll regret it if you don't) Though you need to drive up the hill in order to get there, still once you get there it's well deserved after all, the place is perfect for every occasion, very cozy and family friendly! Will definitely come back for more!

Most innovative cuisine - Edit
I’m mostly plant based, meaning that when I can my preference goes to veggies. Lots of places though just toss you a salad or a wrap and that’s ok, but when I find a place that goes beyond that line and comes up with fine dining plant based food that’s when I get really excited!
Read moreHalapua offered me unique dishes and drinks, and the location is probably one of the best in samui. I was really impressed.... innovative to the max!
Pros: Super good food, Very high class drinks , View like nobody else in samui
Cons: Bit difficult to find it, need google map

My husband planned our 8-year anniversary celebration at Halapua. The all-vegan meal was amazing and the mixologist made me a special cocktail that wasn't on the menu - based on the instructions given by hubby. Very attentive service, beautiful view, it's one of the best restaurants I've been to celebrate a special occasion.

Vegan heaven - Edit
Thank you Halapua for having me at your soft launch. The food here is top notch. They are growing everything on site and offering a farm to table menu. The dishes offered are so various from vegan cheesecake to oyster mushroom sushi and everything inbetween. Everything was tasty and perfectly plated. Excellent concept of eating with others and getting to know them as well. An all around pleasant experience from start to finish.

Just perfect - Edit
This is the first real High End Plant Based experienced I had in Thailand. Maybe in the whole Asia continent. I advice having cocktails "Giardino di Stefano" on the terrace and then going for the scallop-mushroom for appetizer and mushrooms garden for main. Dessert: just try them all!!!

Unexpected Experience - Edit
This was one of the most interesting meal I have ever had in my life, everything was perfect, I was there for a celebration and I didn't care about a vegan cuisine but the cocktails looked good and I went. The cocktails are a master piece, "Giardino di Stefano" is named after the founder and it's a boiling green nootropic based cocktail, and looks like he is a crazy guy as well. Italian entrepreneur and accountant, also Ironman that built this Kapuhala retreat for athletes and foodies. Other cool cocktail is the "Mojito back to origin". After sipping cocktails on the rooftop we were heading out but decided to stay for dinner and despite the plant based uncertainty we luckily did stay. I have no words to describe the amount of pleasure we had from this dinner. We got two appetiser but the remarkable one is mushroom scallop. As a main the eggplants with vegan brie was epic although I struggled not to eat the Amaranth from my girlfriend to the point that we ordered another Amaranth as main. Dessert, thumbs down for the watermelon polenta although the concept is cool. The berry chocolate salty pie made the experience back again. Had a final cocktail just to top it up and went to sleep and felt nothing the day after. Life-changing. Pricing is fair compared to Europe (12-13EUR for a sophisticated yet abundant dish is fine) maybe a bit more then the standard Thai dinner but worth the money and more. Service is a bit slow but smiley.

Innovative ! Innovative !!
Read moreIt is a fun dinning experience, even for non vegan. I love the polenta with cavier ( which is made with balsamic vinegar.it was very entertaining to guess how they prepare the dishes ( me and my partner were both entertained by just reading the menu )
The cocktails are SUPER !! Pretty and tasty
The one that I had I think is “skyline “ good quilaty cocktails on this island !!!
Good portion with filling food.one the the few vegan resturants that I left the table full and not looking for night supper before bed ：）
The view is very nice too, open sea view with their infinity pool, good for a date night I guess. The resturant is a bit far from the main road, need to drive a bit in the jungle, but we made it.
Pros: Innovative menu like no others , Good portion , Nice decoration at the resturant
Cons: A bit off from main road , Need more light at car park , Not sure if I can use the pool

100% plant based menu - Edit
It's refreshing to finally have a place that is truely 100% plant based/vegan. Absolutely nothing is on the menu with animal protien. If your looking for a side dish with meat, not gonna happen here. The food is a delight to eat. The creativity that goes into each dish surpasses any vegan place on the island. Tonight was a mushroom scallop they called Umi No Kinoko. Amazing, such flavor and the dish looked like a painting. The second was the sushi. Sweet potato sushi. The colors and taste was out of this world. The menu had many great chooses. I will definately be going back.
