Koh Samui Hotels in Thailand (10 others)

The kingdom of Thailand lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, making it a natural gateway to Indochina, Myanmar and Southern China. Its shape and geography divide into four natural regions : the mountains and forests of the North; the vast rice fields of the Central Plains; the semi-arid farm lands of the Northeast plateau; and the tropical islands and long coastline of the peninsula South.

The country comprises 76 provinces that are further divided into districts, sub-districts and villages. Bangkok is the capital city and centre of political, commercial, industrial and cultural activities. The Kingdom of Thailand draws more visitors than any other country in Southeast Asia with its irresistible combination of breathtaking natural beauty, inspiring temples, renowned hospitality, robust cuisine and ruins of fabulous ancient kingdoms. Few countries are so well endowed.

From the stupa-studded mountains of Mae Hong Son and the verdant limestone islands of the Andaman Sea, to the pulse-pounding dance clubs of Bangkok and the tranquil villages moored along the Mekong River, Thailand offers something for every type of traveller.

3 Hip Hotels in Koh Samui

How much detail do you want to see?

  1. Six Senses Samui

    Koh Samui, Thailand

    The sweeping vista of palm-clustered islands and shimmering seas brings to mind all the fantasies we have of the Orient's beaches.

    The resort is made up of a stunning collection of bamboo-clad villas, most with their own infinity-edge swimming pool looking out over the Gulf of Thailand. A modern interpretation of a traditional Thai residence, with open-plan spaces combined with a loft-like arrangement. The restaurants and bars are open pavilions, deriving their aesthetic from the communal longhouses of traditional river communities. The view, the architecture, the style and even the temperature intentionally immerse the guest in the location.

    This is back to nature – without a hint of roughing it. Six Senses Samui gives you a lot, including a comprehensive spa that offers every conceivable treatment in Asia...with a brilliant view to boot.

    When you arrive at the Six Senses Samui the view is at once exhilarating and strangely familiar

  2. The Library Hotel

    Koh Samui, Thailand

    Bang in the heart of Chaweng Beach, The Library makes the most of its absolute beach frontage. It has the turquoise water but it also has a charm which keeps those who have discovered it coming back.

    White minimal lofts arranged along a wooden jetty leading to the beach, with a blood red swimming pool and a startlingly white media room; The Library breaks all the rules.Not many hotels can boast a blood red pool. Nothing about this place is conventional, why stop with the pool?

    An air-conditioned pavilion houses a floor to ceiling wine cellar, and a beachside bistro open to the elements – the dining experience at The Library is in keeping with Koh Samui’s emergence as a sophisticated escape destination.

    Accommodation at The Library feels more like you’ve borrowed a cool friend’s beach apartment than staying in a hotel.
