Sawadee ka! If you’re a fan or a casual watcher of HBO’s White Lotus series, chances are you’ll probably recognize the luxury villas of Koh Samui stealing the spotlight in Season 3. And even if you haven’t seen the show, Koh Samui, Thailand, is a destination that calls out to anyone and everyone dreaming of the ultimate island escape.
Sitting on Thailand’s northwestern coast, among a luscious spread of coconut palms and turquoise waters, the Four Seasons Thailand, Koh Samui, stands out as the island’s most sought-after stay. Setting the standard for tropical indulgence with its private infinity pools, glamorous beachfront, and warm Thai hospitality, it makes you wonder: Is it really worth the splurge? With a nightly rate of over a thousand dollars, it’s definitely no casual vacation. Still, this secluded paradise is the kind of place travelers chase after for that once-in-a-lifetime experience. With that, let’s take a closer look at what you get when you stay at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.
About the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
Easy, breezy, luscious greenery!
The Four Seasons Thailand Koh Samui sits on 42 acres of what used to be a coconut plantation. Today, it’s become an incredible hillside property overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. Designed by the creative mind behind some of Asia’s most iconic hotels, Bill Bensley, this resort charms you with understated elegance in true Four Seasons fashion—the Thai way. (Fun fact: they even have a gallery dedicated to Bensley inside!)
With 60 villas embracing the island’s lush greenery and ocean views, it’s one of the most exclusive (and expensive) resorts in Thailand, offering some of the most serene private beaches in Koh Samui. Blending comfort and privacy with aesthetics and barefoot luxury, it’s no wonder this resort has become a destination in and of itself.
Inside The Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
Welcome to Four Seasons Thailand Koh Samui!
From the moment you step off your private transfer, you’ll be greeted by their warm and attentive staff, a cool towel, and a refreshing welcome drink that instantly sets the tone for your stay. As you walk inside through the open-air lobby overlooking the water, take a moment to take in your surroundings and the quiet luxury before heading to your villa. You’ll see right away that you’ve arrived somewhere special.
Getting Around
A stone pathway to your next adventure!
Because the property is so massive and situated on a hillside, getting around might feel like an adventure of its own. And while walking is a great way to get your cardio in, it isn’t always practical (especially on arrival when you’re carrying heavy luggage). Luckily, the resort's buggy service is available at any time of day, so take advantage of this. With a quick call and a short wait, a buggy picks you up and takes you anywhere—from your villa to the beach, the spa, or the restaurants. And if you’ve just arrived, expect that they’re ready to take you right up to your room.
The Villas
Make yourself at home at this tropical paradise!
At the Four Seasons Thailand Koh Samui, there are actually no standard rooms—just villas. Not only that, every single villa comes with its own private infinity pool (yes, even the entry-level villas!). By the pool, there’s also a lovely outdoor leisure area perfect for slow mornings, lazy afternoons, or perhaps a romantic midnight swim. So no matter your budget here, you’re guaranteed to have an incredible space all to yourself.
Nothing like a private pool and ocean view to start your day
Welcome notes greet you inside the spacious room, along with a huge bed, high ceilings, and décor that captures the essence of Thailand. Even the bathrooms are stunning, with doors that slide open to the outdoors so you can enjoy those sea breezes from the bathtub indoors.
The Residences
