Amazing food and stunning views - Edit
We enjoyed a vegan dinner with exquisite food and stunning views. The staff is very friendly and the communication in advance was very good. We used the pick up service from the foot of the mountain as the drive can be challenging.

delicious food & luxurious vibe - Edit
Worth it for the experience! Come early to swim and enjoy the view, stay for the yummy food. The meal was good but felt really basic / simple for the price. (Maybe the chef was off? Not sure.) Overall everything was tasty and we would come back for the experience but not for the fine dining experience we had expected.
Read moreThe menu was fully Italian inspired when we came but we would have preferred some Thai influence too. Lovely and kind service. We felt well cared for and the experience being there felt luxurious. (The pool and setting is gorgeous.) Wine was okay at best — red wine was chilled. Coffee after the meal was tasty. If we’re back in the area we would consider returning but would hope for a more unique food experience.

Maybe a day off for the chef? - Edit
Reserved ahead for their 4(?) course set Sicilian menu. Our taxi had a hard time finding Halapua and it's quite a climb for a regular car. But the view of the Jungle and coast is worth it.
Read moreWe were early and invited to take a dip in the beautiful infinity pool adjoining the different tables. We were given a selection of three dishes and choose focaccia with spreads and eggplant Parmigiano.
After the dip we sat and were offered wine. Ither options were local beer and fresh coconut
First course were slices of French bread with panelle - a Sicilian chickpeas patty. Tasty.
The mains arrived with my partners 4 squares of thick foccacia with decorative but simple toppings.
My eggplant Parmigiano was very good.
Dessert had a Christmas theme and consisted of a jelled berries on a nut based crust and a gingerman biscuit. I loved it. My partner wasn't keen.
All very nicely presented and served but heavy on bread and didn't match the hype and expectations
We stopped on the way home for coconut ice and three hours later had fantastic thai style vegan buffet for a pittance.
5* for ambience, service and presentation, taste
4* for originality
3* for food and cost
Come for the concept and ambience but if you're really hungry, on a budget or want local cuisine - there are much better options.

Different menu, still amazing! - Edit
Finally back in Samui and so happy to see that Halapua survived the pandemic. Truly fantastic vegan food that goes beyond the typical salads, wraps and bowls. The atmosphere, the view, location are all fantastic and definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a chill spot on the island.

Summer Nights Dream - Edit
This is the best vegan restaurant i have ever been at. The place is super amazing and decorated with good style. You also have an amazing view. But let’s talk about the food. There are not enough words to describe the deliciousness of every dish. The dishes are very sophisticated in taste and presentation. Everything they cook and serve comes from the own little farm of the resort or shipped from Italy like the saffron! We had an amazing experience. If you’re lucky, you’ll find Stefano -the owner of the restaurant, who will take time and explain every dish with a lot of passion. I can’t wait to come back !!!!!

Gorgeous setting and delicious food - Edit
We visited Halapua by Kapuhala for lunch recently and were so impressed. The setting is beautiful, with tables located next to the stunning infinity pool with sweeping views over the sea.
Read moreThe menu was creative and we enjoyed the diverse range of dishes - none of us are vegan but the food was tasty and filling. Attentive service and a really stylish setting. Evident how much time, love and care has gone in to designing the restaurant as well as the small resort that it serves. We loved seeing the gardens that supply fresh vegetables and herbs for the kitchen and generally enjoyed a casual, relaxed lunch. Will definitely return!
Pros: Excellent food, Gorgeous setting, Sea views

Beautiful view, great services and - Edit
The location is very easy to access both car and motorbike, I was there in my own car several times and driving to this place is very easy. They also provide pickup services but you have to park your vehicle in the parking spot of Kapuhala and call them for the pickup I'm gonna try to call for this pickup service next time.
Read moreStaff here really give a good service and made me feel special, on the 3rd times of my visited one of them know exactly what kind of coffee that I always had, it just small details but they do remember which's made me very impressive.
We had eggplants and froisgrais. Unbeliveable that these meals made from plantbased because its tasted very delicious! Definitely come back more and more !

Great service, great food and we will be back again! - Edit
It was our first visit at Halapua and it was wonderful! The receptionist and waiter were both very helpful. As the others said the view was spectacular and we took so many photos 😃
Read moreThe food was delicious, we ordered three dishes for two people and we were so full. I love it particularly because it was all whole food so everything was nutritious and not over seasoned like in many other places. All in all we had a fantastic dining experience for vegans or not! Highly recommend.
Pros: High quality, Delicious food, Great service
Cons: Not on the main road

What a perfect surprise!! - Edit
I stay at villa nearby and looked for a restaurant and was 100% happy at Halapua. Amazing vegan lunch, friendly staff and nice music. The location and food is done with passion and love, you feel it already when you enter the place. I will definitely visit again to try some other dishes at dinner time and probably stay at one of their tents too.

Overwhelming !!! - Edit
First of all the restaurant was easy to find, only 3 min from lamai Beach away, it goes up to a hill, where you can see the sunrise and the beautiful jungle of koh samui, the air is so much better up there. We couldn't believe our eyes, even the entrance is so cool und you feel like you are in the jungle but still in a fancy restaurant, they have a big sportpool where you can swim. It was my birthday, so my husband and I wanted to try as much as we could. We had 4 cocktails, one was better than the other one, you can't even compare because every cocktail had a different taste, so good anyway. We had also 4 appetizers, you can see every meal in the pictures. The main course was not from this earth, it was overwhelming, the cook decorated the food so lovely, it was like art for me, but the highlight was for me the Ananas pudding, just WOW! All in all it was a food orgasm my taste buds had the best experience ever. They got an own farm plus a wintergarden, so almost every ingredient is from their own organic farm.
Read moreWe had also the honor to talk with the chef cook and the owner himself, they were so friendly and humble, the only reason why I would travel again to koh samui is Kapuhala. 🙌🏽😍
They got also a shuttle, which brings you down after the food if you need one. Thank you for the best birthday dinner of my life.

Go! Just go and make sure you do not leave Samui without visiting. - Edit
Could. Not. Be. More. Impressed. With. This. Gem.
Read moreHalapua is heaven for anybody who loves good, nutritious food. The menu is fantastic, the service is excellent and the decorations very thoughtful. Could not think of a single improvement on this experience. My family and I stayed here and absolutely loved the entire experience. From the exercise facilities to the conversations with like-minded holiday-makers and of course the meals.
A must-visit is the rooftop bar where the mixologist will treat your tastebuds to a fantastic experience using local and superfood type ingredients for your fantastic cocktails/mocktails.
Pros: Sunsets are stunning, Menu is exquisite , Service is wonderful

Amazing dinner - Edit
Incredible setting looking out over the ocean, with infinity pool right next to the restaurant and bar. Food was also amazing I've never experienced food presented so immaculately, and it all had just as impressive flavour. Would highly recommend for a special occasion or a last night of the holiday dinner!

Delicious food at a stunning location - Edit
My family and I spent the last 2 days at Kapuhala in Koh Samui.
Read moreThe food was truly amazing! It was so creative in the way they served it, the combinations and options we had.
The view while eating it was breath taking and the staff was super caring, friendly and professional.
We stayed in a tent, not just a tent but a luxurious tent, with an ocean view and a lot of space!
We also very much enjoyed our time in the gym and the yoga classes.
The surroundings are excellent for running too!
So all together a wonderful experience for us and our 2 kids (4 and 6). Thank you Kapuhala!!
Pros: Excellent food, Location, atmosphere
Cons: Many steps (as it is on a mountain), No access to ocean

Boutique resort and food experience - Edit
Both the Kapuhala resort and Halapua restaurant are immersive sensory experiences. The setting in the hills overlooking the sea is as stunning and relaxing as they come. The rooms are high quality with so every detail well thought out and the views are amazing. The gym is a fantastic open space where you can workout or enjoy a yoga session with an inspiring view. The food more than matches the setting with each dish taking you on a sensory journey. If you are planning to come to Koh Samui then I would highly recommend you unwind and recharge in this boutique paradise.
