Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
Northwest Koh Samui, Thailand
Location
Northwest Koh Samui
The resort occupies a hillside above a private bay on the quiet northwestern tip of Koh Samui, looking out across the Gulf of Thailand to Koh Phangan and the limestone peaks of Angthong Marine Park. It is the serene corner of the island, away from the busier beaches, with the marine park a boat ride away.
Transfer
A Samui transfer
Fly into Samui (USM) — about a 45-minute hop from Bangkok — then it's roughly 20 minutes by road to the resort. From the lobby, buggies run guests down the hillside to the villas and the beach.
Villas
Villas & residences
Around sixty one-bedroom pool villas and fifteen larger residences, every one with a private infinity pool and a deck, set down the hillside and linked by buggy. One-bedroom villas start near 103 square metres and climb to oceanfront and family layouts; the residences reach four bedrooms for up to fifteen guests, with their own pools, dining pavilions and a host — the resort spreads out like a private hamlet.
Best For
Who it suits
Couples drawn to serene all-villa seclusion and families who want space, a private pool and a calm beach — the residences in particular suit multi-generational groups travelling together.
Board Basis
B&B
Booked on bed and breakfast, with no fee for children under eighteen. Four places to eat run from beachside seafood at Pla Pla to the hillcrest table at Lan Tania, the hidden CoCoRum bar and round-the-clock in-villa dining, so half-board and dine-around are easy to arrange.
About the Resort
Samui’s serene all-villa icon
Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui spills down a green hillside to a private bay on the island's quiet northwestern tip, looking across the Gulf to Koh Phangan and the scattered peaks of Angthong Marine Park. It is all villas — around sixty one-bedroom pool villas and fifteen larger residences — each with its own infinity pool and deck, reached by buggy along the slope so the resort feels more like a private hamlet than a hotel. The beach is the rare thing: white sand with a quiet zone of hammocks strung over the water, and a 55-yard infinity pool running along it. Days here bend toward the serene — a treehouse spa sala in the lemongrass, a Muay Thai ring for a proper workout, the daily catch at Pla Pla, a rum at the hidden CoCoRum bar — with the marine park a boat ride away when you want to move. It suits couples and families in equal measure, and it is the serene end of Samui, a world apart from the island's busier shores.
Accommodation

Food & Drink
Dining
Four places to eat, from the sand to the hillcrest. Pla Pla sits by the beach and works the fresh daily catch; Lan Tania looks out from high on the slope; a beach bar handles the easy hours; and CoCoRum is the hidden rum bar, behind an unmarked door, for a nightcap.

Wellbeing
The Spa
Wellness here is woven into the hillside. The spa is a cluster of treehouse-style salas raised in lemongrass gardens, with beach and in-villa treatments and a yoga pavilion; the 55-yard beach infinity pool runs along the sand; and a Muay Thai ring gives the active a proper Thai workout under a trainer.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”
