Banyan Tree SamuiKoh Samui, Thailand

On a gentle slope that overlooks the glistening waters of Lamai Bay, this resort is the ultimate haven for peace and relaxation. Traditional Thai architecture like delicately carved wooden furnishings and soothing oriental shades create a luxurious ambience – life here is all about being pampered. The beach is the closest to private you’ll get in Thailand, while the indulgent and award-winning Banyan Tree Spa takes a holistic approach to wellbeing.

You’ll discover a choice of three restaurants in various locations around the resort.
