Banyan Tree Samui has been built with a contemporary Thai outlook in mind. The villas resemble traditional Thai architecture with pillars and staggered roofs and from their elevated position, most have fantastic views of the surrounding area.

It has a very serene and peaceful setting as the resort occupies both sides of the cove so there are no other resorts in sight. The service here is impeccable, every member of staff from the gardeners to housekeeping and reception give 100% at all times so your stay feels completely effortless. The three restaurants, the bar and lobby lounge have a great atmosphere and Saffron in particular is renowned for its wonderful Thai menu.

All the villas are standalone so have quite a private feel to them. They feel incredibly luxurious with extravagant bedding and thoughtful amenities. The private pools are some of the largest ones in Koh Samui and their infinity edges means you can make the most of the views.

The beach at the bottom of the resort is furnished with sun loungers, umbrellas & attendants so you can stay there all day should you wish or you can make your way to the pool which is also serviced.
