The Four Seasons has a dreamy location, tucked away in Leam Yai Bay on the northwest coast of Koh Samui, a 40-minute drive from the airport. Its private beach and secluded location make it perfect for those looking for a peaceful, romantic hideaway. If you’re in search of more action, expect a (pricey) 30-minute taxi journey to Fisherman’s Village or Chaweng.
Head through an unassuming door and out onto one of the most spectacular hotel lobbies in Thailand; an open-air platform providing a 270-degree panorama of jungle, beach and bright turquoise seas. The rest of the resort blends beautifully into the lush natural surrounding with steep flower-lined paths leading to open-air salas strewn with comfortable sofas, pretty hillside restaurants and a picture perfect beach.
Each of the 60 stand-alone villas has its own private terrace with banyan and coconut trees sprouting up through the middle – look out for squirrels scooting along the branches – as well as plunge pools and sensational sea views. Interiors are elegant and inviting; crisp white walls, rich dark woods, vaulted ceilings, swish bathrooms, all brushed with tasteful shades of teal and pale blue.
Samui International Airport is just a 40-minute drive from Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, and a shuttle service is provided for those staying at the property. Mae Nam and Lipa Noi are located a short drive away.
