Koh Samui has a tropical climate and the best time to visit is from February to September, which is relatively dry but there is some rain every month. February to April are the driest months. October to January are wet with the monsoon coming from the northeast across the Gulf of Thailand.
Insider's View
Dining on the Rocks is probably the best restaurant on Koh Samui. What an amazing setting, the ideal place for a romantic dinner for two.
The spa at Six Senses Samui is absolutely amazing, and the treatments there are so indulgent! It is the only spa on Koh Samui that has stunning, uninterrupted ocean views in each treatment room.
I absolutely loved the food here at Six Senses Samui, with delicious, healthy choices at lunch time just perfect in the tropical heat. Try the cool, refreshing gazpacho with grilled prawns.
Make sure to book Dining on The Rocks in advance as it can get booked up in peak season.

Perched on the north east coast of Samui, Six Senses Samui feels like you are in your own private paradise but still close enough to the hustle and bustle of the island for an adventure or two!
Make sure you try out their cooking class which is fantastic and great fun!

Reviews
Arthur Pope (Staff)
A true gem. Set amongst verdant jungle, this lovely property offers stunning sunset and sunrise views, a rarity on Samui. The villas feel comfortable and roomy without feeling cavernous, privacy is guaranteed via smart design, and the grounds are easily walkable. They have secured a large portion of the secluded beach, and with future plans will make it even more inviting. The staff are top notch; friendly, personable and attentive. The food from the gorgeous On the Rocks isnt just good; it is truly excellent. Their overall commitment to sustainability and community enrichment is genuine. Easily a top choice for Samui.
Louise Canton (Staff)
Barefoot, five star luxury in an eco-conscious resort, where the friendly staff will make you feel like you're staying in a home away from home. The restaurant menus are spectacular and there's a view to match. You'll be torn between spending your time here in your beautiful villa with private pool or enjoying many of the activities and facilities that the hotel has to offer.
Katie Kennard (Staff)
Six senses have once again impressed me. Their bedrooms have a rustic feel, basins have been welded out of steel and carved wood makes us the interior and exterior. The rooms are hidden by the overgrown jungle and are all wonderfully camouflaged. The pool area is very comfortable, there are so many hidden places to chill and gaze out to sea. Six senses seek to find the most exclusive and un damaged land out there and they do very well at it.

Six Senses Samui sits perched on the furthermost outcrop at the North of the island and we could not decide on sunrise of sunset for our villas. Vibrant colored cushions and teak is the predominant theme of this luxury hideaway with its famous Six Senses Spa. We had a fantastic 3 our cooking course where you learn, prepare with the chef some fantastic Thai dishes and if you wish to go out early to the market they will arrange this for you as well.
Clare Barratt (Staff)
Six Senses Samui is very much in line with the Six Senses unique style of authenticity. The private villas are luxuriously rustic and being located on a headland they all have fabulous views, although the Hideaway villa overlooks the lush jungle like vegetation rather than the ocean. Although I didn't dine there myself, Dining on the Rocks has the most wonderful views it almost feels like you are on a boat. So even if you don't choose to stay at Six Senses on Koh Samui, make a reservation to dine here one evening! I know I will next time!
Sophie Jones (Staff)
Six Senses Samui has a very special atmosphere. Located on the north east tip of Koh Samui, you feel completely removed from the rest of the island in your own corner of serene paradise. The food was fantastic and The Thai Prawn Salad that I had was the perfect balance of flavors and level of spice for my underdeveloped western palate and I have never seen prawns so huge - mouth-watering!
Sarah Baxter (Staff)
On this popular and buzzing island, Six Senses Samui offers a private and peaceful retreat where you can feel secluded in your own piece of paradise. They offer a serene spa, gym, yoga and aerobics classes, snorkeling and kayaking among other things. The resort remains true to the Six Senses style with that wonderful bare-foot luxury feel. My two favorite things at this property are the fantastic main infinity pool, overlooking the ocean and the Dining On The Rocks restaurant, with the most idyllic back-drop and exquisite food to match. While the majority of the villas enjoy sea views, they do not have direct beach access, but their stretch of beach is not far to reach. The Ocean Front Pool Villa is definitely worth it for the back-drop.
Evi-Elli La Valle (Staff)
The location of the Six Senses Samui is amazing. It is in a really peaceful spot to the very north of Koh Samui, with beautiful views out to sea. All the villas are spread out on the hillside and the atmosphere is so calm and peaceful and it really feels like a retreat. It is only a 10-minute taxi ride to the fantastic local restaurants of Bo Phut or the bright lights of Chaweng, yet you feel a million miles away.
