Six Senses Samui
Overview
The resort is a gorgeous collection of villas set on a twenty acre gently sloping estate where the design maximises the guest’s views at every opportunity. Deliberately set on the tip of the headland facing out to sea, you could be a million miles from the bustling towns of Koh Samui enjoying your own piece of island paradise. (Although if you wish to explore further afield you are actually not that far from the action and this is a very easy to reach destination).
Formally known as the Hideaway, the resort is built for romance; meals are an experience under an enormous starry sky and your villa is a personal cocoon located amongst natural vegetation which ensures maximum privacy, with bathtubs and outdoor showers built for two, most with a private pool and all with a private terrace and personal butler on hand.
The split level villas are spacious semi open-plan spaces and the interiors are clad in bamboo with polished wooden floors and wooden louvres to filter light. The public areas share a design inspired by the Longhouses of a Thai fishing village – open thatched pavilions without glass to obscure the views and sea breezes instead of air-conditioning. The design is perfectly suited to this heavenly island location.
The other distinguishing feature of Six Senses is their lifestyle philosophy – a combination of rejuvenation, indulgence, natural health with a bit of adventure thrown in. Try sunrise yoga and an amazing array of spa treatments, learn some Thai cooking skills and visit the on-site organic farm, enjoy outdoor Cinema Paradiso with a cocktail and popcorn and then for some adventure, join a speedboat trip to Angthong National Marine Park for some snorkelling and island trekking.
Explore their organic garden, the source of much of the produce for the resort and the lovely beach club in resort.
