Samui's most secluded and luxurious hideaway offers a variety of beautiful Thai style villas and suites in a tropical garden setting. The décor is contemporary Thai and all rooms feature spacious living areas and 5-star amenities. (59 luxurious villas and 12 duplex suites)

Private barbecues on your villa's terrace as well as classic and nouveau Western and Asian dishes are also available. The Garden Café and beach restaurant / bar serve snacks throughout the day.

The expert therapists at the Santiburi Spa can perform any massage or treatment requested including two treatments that the Santiburi is famous for. 'Touch of Heaven' is a relaxing combination of Swedish massage and an aromatic facial while 'Top to Toe Pampering' combines reflexology with an aromatic facial. A five minute drive from the Santiburi Resort is the only international standard golf course on the island set amongst rolling hills and coconut palms.

Koh Samui is a tropical island paradise in the Gulf of Siam. A hilly, jungle interior of spectacular views and waterfalls sweeps down to perfect white sand beaches and azure blue water. Sunny skies and calm seas prevail for most months of the year. The Island remains unspoiled, with the tallest buildings rising no higher than the tallest palm tree.

There is an excellent golf course and every activity you would expect in a relaxed island resort next to a Marine National Park: snorkeling, fishing, mountain biking, horse-riding, sea-canoeing, nature walks and more.

The uniquely designed international airport connects directly with Bangkok (70 minutes) and Singapore (90 minutes), giving easy access from all points of Asia.

The island's many attractions include the towns of Chaweng and Lamai, with their craft shops and lively nightlife. The beautiful Ang Thong Marine Park is on the doorstep. Other local sights include the towering Big Buddha and the island's exotic jungle interior, noted for its impressive waterfalls. Even the hill-top golf course enjoys spectacular views.

The neighbouring islands of Koh Tao and Koh Pangan can be visited by boat then why not take a boat to an outlying island beach for lunch.

Weather wise, Koh Samui is a winner because during the monsoon season on the west coast, the east coast largely escapes rain and April - Nov can be a good time to visit.
