Cascading serenely down a forested hillside on the north tip of Koh Samui lies a ravishing resort within a hidden cove. From here, the views across the Gulf of Siam are simply breathtaking. Settle into your freestanding villa or private residence raised on stilts in the traditional local style – to bask on your spacious deck with its private infinity-edge pool, perhaps working up the energy to slip down to the Pool Bar or to the porcelain-white beach. Five individual spa salas offer a revitalizing range of treatments from Chakra crystal to Siam fusion and deeply regenerative Thai herbal compresses. In addition to in-villa dining, guests can savor Thai and Italian specialties at panoramic KOH, or choose Pla Pla for succulent fresh fish.

Relax by the main swimming pool, in the quiet library, or take advantage of invigorating activities including tennis, on-site watersports and nearby golf. Ang Thong Marine Park offers excellent snorkeling, whilst children will enjoy their own Kids for All Seasons Club.
