Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
Koh Samui - Thailand
Luxury in Thailand often flirts with excess. Four Seasons Koh Samui takes the opposite route. Spread across a steep, palm-covered hillside overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, the resort unfolds vertically, revealing itself through winding paths and layered terraces rather than grand entrances.
Accommodation comes exclusively in private villas, each with its own pool and generous outdoor space. Privacy is not an upgrade here, it is the baseline. Interiors blend traditional Thai references with contemporary comfort, warm woods, light fabrics and open-air living areas designed to let the island in. From almost every vantage point, the sea remains present, shifting from turquoise to silver as the day progresses.
Life at the resort is deliberately unhurried. Mornings begin with long breakfasts overlooking the water, followed by time divided between the beach, the spa, or the simple pleasure of doing nothing particularly productive. The spa, perched high above the sea, draws on Thai wellness traditions and emphasizes restoration over spectacle.
Dining spans refined Thai cuisine and international options, executed with precision but never stiffness. As evening arrives, the resort takes on a softer, more intimate rhythm. Lanterns glow, cicadas take over, and the pace slows further. Four Seasons Koh Samui does not aim to surprise. It aims to soothe, and it succeeds quietly.
