“A stylish, contemporary resort at Choeng Mon on the northeastern coast, bringing a younger, design-led energy to Samui with bold interiors, a beachfront pool and excellent restaurants. Great for families and a livelier scene.”

“An all-villa resort high on the cliffs of the island's quieter southwest, where every villa has its own infinity pool facing the sunset. Secluded, spacious and dramatic, for travelers who want to disappear for a week.”

“Samui's most celebrated resort, spread across a jungle-covered hillside above its own private beach, with hillside villas that each have an infinity pool over the Gulf. More in demand than ever: book early and request a sunset-view villa.”

“Every accommodation is a pool villa, arranged on a hillside above a secluded bay in Lamai, and the signature spa includes a rainforest hydrotherapy circuit. Ideal for couples, honeymooners and anyone who wants total privacy.”

“Barefoot luxury on a headland above the sea: thatched villas, many with private pools, a wellness-focused spa and a strong sustainability ethos. The dramatic cliffside restaurant is one of the island's most memorable dinner settings.”
