This certified carbon-neutral resort offers a secluded getaway that makes the most of island life. Set in 23 acres of tropical flora, Santiburi Koh Samui overlooks 300 metres of white beach. The resort has one of the largest pools on the island – the perfect spot for a dip – and a web of winding paths, so you can go for a stroll through the lush gardens. With five restaurants and a number of exclusive experiences, families and couples alike can find their ideal escape at Santiburi Koh Samui.

Santiburi Koh Samui celebrates the Thai word for play, Lén, by encouraging fun with a wide range of activities. If you’re a keen golfer, you can practise your swing on an 18-hole Championship golf course, which has featured on the PGA Asian Tour. If you’re more of a water baby, head to the beach to try your hand at watersports. Meanwhile, adventurous travellers can go on a guided mountain biking tour, or be privately coached in Muay Thai boxing.

As well as playing, you’re also encouraged to unwind at Santiburi Koh Samui. Step inside the Lén Spa and take your pick from a range of treatments, which use local ingredients such as coconut, rice, jasmine and betel leaves. Lounge on a Turkish massage table, soak in an indoor tub or bathe in a deep outdoor tub, surrounded by nature. Inspired by the ancient Kingdom of Ayutthaya, the spa offers an elaborate, magical setting.
