Step into the lobby of W Koh Samui and enter another world, where the days are for relaxing and the nights are for celebrating. From the moment you arrive, you feel like you’ve stepped into paradise and throughout your stay, this feeling only continues, with luxury around every corner. From the gourmet dining and lively onsite bars to the sprawling beachfront and beyond, find out why W Koh Samui is a must-visit Thailand resort.
You can enjoy both sunrise and sunset views
Perched on the island’s northern end on the tip of a secluded peninsula, W Koh Samui offers impressive vistas over the Gulf of Thailand. From this vantage, you’re treated to the rare luxury of both sunrise and sunset views. Early risers can start their day on the beach, basking in the first golden rays, while evening wanderers can watch the horizon melt into mesmerising hues of purple and orange – cocktail in hand, of course.
All the rooms feature a private pool
While the beach and resort pool offer a refreshing escape from the heat, nothing compares to the luxury of your private pool – ready for a dip at any time, day or night. With just 74 villas each with their own secluded pool, it’s truly impossible to select a bad room at this resort. Choose a hillside villa with views of the Gulf of Thailand or opt for a beachfront retreat just steps from golden sands. No matter your preference, you’ll experience the ultimate standard in tropical indulgence.
There’s free ice cream on offer, all day every day
W Koh Samui makes it almost too easy to sate your sweet tooth with Sweet Spot stations scattered around the resort, serving complimentary ice cream and soft drinks at your leisure. It doesn’t matter if it’s 6am or 10pm – satisfy your cravings whenever the mood strikes with classic flavours, tropical-inspired creations and fizzy refreshers.
A fire show at WOOBAR feels like a nightly celebration
While W Koh Samui boasts a strong emphasis on rest and relaxation, it never forgets the brand’s signature flair for fun. Each night, head to WOOBAR for an electrifying fire show, where local performers dazzle with flaming displays, spinning and twirling against the backdrop of the resort’s circular water feature. This mesmerising spectacle is best enjoyed from one of the sunken, lotus-shaped seats as you sample the bar’s broad selection of tropical cocktails. When the flames fade, the energy continues – stay for live DJ sets and an upbeat atmosphere that keeps the night alive.
Gourmet dining is a given
The Kitchen Table – the resort’s main restaurant – offers breakfast, lunch and dinner in a sprawling space, featuring a unique ‘floating’ alfresco terrace that extends from the hillside.
For a truly unforgettable evening meal, head to NAMU. Led by the talented Chef Taka Ono, the restaurant serves innovative Japanese dishes paired with picture-perfect sunset views from its privileged beachfront location. Sample melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, tender steak served with a selection of sauces to suit every palate and delicious seafood served in a savoury broth. Choose to dine inside or opt for a spot outdoors, where the gentle waves provide the perfect soundtrack to your meal.
The onsite spa feels like stepping into another world
W Koh Samui’s spa is called Away, and it certainly lives up to its name. Here, you can get away from it all with a range of treatments made for relaxation and rejuvenation. Treatment rooms are scattered up the hillside, lending to a feeling of total privacy and seclusion as you indulge in a soothing massage or restorative facial. The spa also features Asia’s first Thaimazcal herbal sauna experience, where you can clear your mind and purify your body in comfortable solitude.
It’s close to some of the island’s top attractions
While the resort’s endless onsite activities mean you may never want to leave, its prime location also makes it easy to explore throughout your stay. A 15-minute drive from the airport brings you to the resort’s front door, making arrival and departure seamless and easy. Just five minutes away, you’ll find the lively walking street of Fisherman’s Village, where traditional wooden shophouses have been transformed into buzzing bars, mouthwatering seafood restaurants and boutique shops. Both Wat Phra Yai temple with its recognisable golden Buddha and the shores of the popular Chaweng Beach are only a 15-minute drive away. If venturing away from the resort is a must while you’re on holiday, W Koh Samui is the perfect home base to explore the best of the island.
