Located south of Bangkok in the "Land of Smiles," the picturesque island of Koh Samui is home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches, temperate rainforests, and stunning shorelines. With the addition of Banyan Tree Samui, Koh Samui is now home to the "Best New Beach Resort Hotel" as named by the elite Condé Nast Traveller Hot List 2011. The resort's breathtaking exterior rises above the shimmering Gulf of Thailand amidst cascading treetop terraces on an isolated hill cove. Banyan Tree Samui boasts an all villa-resort; each generously proportioned living space impressively combines aspects of traditional Thai-style architecture with modern planning and design, such as the steep, raised rooftops, striking floor-to-ceiling windows, and its own elevated, private pool. The beautiful, expansive grounds are surrounded by the lush, aromatic foliage of the region, making it the picture perfect backdrop for every celebration of life: birthdays, weddings, romantic getaways, and everything in between.

We recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Banyan Tree Koh Samui for 5 nights and it exceeded all our expectations. Accommodation: Our hillside villa was simply stunning. The views were breathtaking, and the villa itself was spacious and luxurious with a private pool, hot tub, and beautifully appointed furnishings. House keeping was prompt and very well done. Building this resort must have been a huge engineering challenge with the villas so big and high up on the side of a beautiful cove, looking out over the ocean and a tranquil beach. Food & Drink: Breakfast was a highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options. We particularly enjoyed the fresh-to-order omelettes. The resort also offers excellent dining choices throughout the day. Service: The service was impeccable. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always went the extra mile to ensure we had a memorable stay. Buggy service to and from the rooms was prompt and efficient. Resort: The resort itself is impeccably maintained. The gardens are lush and beautiful, and the beach is constantly groomed. Location: The location is ideal, with easy access to local restaurants and shops a short trip to Lamui town which is an experience, happy to have our own private piece of paradise! OneSmall Suggestion: While the resort has a sundowner cocktail bar, it could benefit from a more vibrant and atmospheric outdoor space for happy hour. Overall: We highly recommend the Banyan Tree Koh Samui. It's a truly exceptional resort that offers a luxurious and unforgettable experience. Thank you Banyan Tree.

Absolutely loved this place. The rooms were beautiful, the views from the lobby, from breakfast, and from our private pool were to die for. Our host Dada could not have been more accommodating to our every need and request. The breakfast buffet was wonderful every morning, the restaurants and other facilities were top-notch and we loved every minute of our time there. I would highly recommend this five star resort to anyone looking for a fabulous retreat in Thailand.
