Perhaps you have just learned about Koh Samui and are eager to book a holiday in this utterly fascinating destination. Maybe you have yet to discover why so many people describe it as one of the best travel secrets? Either way, once you know even a little bit about Koh Samui, you are sure to yearn for a visit.
The second largest island in the Gulf of Thailand, it is a place of unimaginable natural beauty. Remaining pristine for centuries, and only modernizing at the very end of the 20th century, it remains a perfect destination for those who love the beach, virgin rainforests, sparkling clear sea water, and utter peace. With a granite massive at the heart of the island and charming towns dotting the lowland areas, it offers everything from night markets and delicious foods to authentic massage experiences and much more.
Just that brief explanation probably makes you eager to experience this locale for yourself, and when you do visit, you can ensure your stay is as luxurious and relaxing as possible by booking a stunning villa.
Designed to offer every possible comfort, they are a destination in their own right, but as they are also located in irresistible Koh Samui, it makes them even more appealing. Let’s just look at three of the main reasons you will definitely want to complete your unforgettable visit to this fabulous island by booking a stay in a villa:
Staff
While you might be used to a holiday in which housekeeping appeared once or twice each day, and perhaps a cheerful member of the staff delivered a breakfast tray to your room, a visit to a Koh Samui villa is entirely different. Here, the entire property is yours to use, and the staff is going to include your full housekeeping team – including a laundress, but also a butler and host, a chef or cook, your private pool person, a concierge, and a private driver.
Imagine the delights of your daily a la carte breakfast, fresh baked goods waiting each day, fresh smoothies and cocktails, evening meals and more. You can count on regular yoga sessions, Thai cooking lessons, and even massages!
Cuisine
While a chef to prepare your meals is lovely, and a host to whip up fresh fruit cocktails or smoothies is a wonderful treat, the cuisine that your private villa includes cannot be discounted. After all, it can be wonderful to pay a visit to a tropical destination and savor its best four-star establishments. But, most travelers admit to growing weary of endless meals out and the formalities this requires or creates. Imagine the joys of staying at your private paradise and enjoying authentic regional specialties prepared by your private chef, and made with the best local ingredients. Served to you by your butler wherever you would like – the verandah, the formal dining area, in the garden or wherever you choose, it is the ultimate in gourmet dining.
Activities
While a Koh Samui villa is meant to be a destination in its own right, with a pool, yoga classes, cooking classes and so much more, you can also book a variety of activities outside of the property, too. Perhaps you are eager to have a jungle trek with a knowledgeable guide? That is part of your stay. Maybe you want to sail the gorgeous waters? Your concierge can make it happen. Perhaps you wish to stay at your luxurious little home and enjoy such unique activities as releasing lanterns or watching fire dancing? That is all possible, too.
As you can see, there are many reasons to choose a Koh Samui villa and now is the perfect time to book your escape.
