LOCATION & SURROUNDINGS

Koh Samui is the largest island in the Gulf of Thailand, and the second largest in Thailand. The idyllic island is hilly, covered in abundance with coconut palms and other green, luscious vegetation. The shoreline consists of an endless stretch of beaches and bays. Koh Samui was discovered by some of the first backpackers a very long time ago. In that time, the accommodation on the island was still very primitive, cheap and almost no tourists were found on the island. 

 

Much has changed since then; Koh Samui's natural beauty has drawn the attention of the wealthier tourists with the expected result. Luxury hotels such as The Four Seasons as well as the Six Sense Sila Evason Hideaway (chosen in 2008 as the best hotel of the world) have opened their doors. Also a new golf course in Santaburi was recently completed and some of the beaches, such as Chaweng beach, are now very popular and crowded. 

 

For the adventurous travelers, there is the possibility to book different kinds of excursions. That means that you can go on guided jungle tours to explore the diverse nature of Koh Samui. There is also the option to drive on quad bikes. Our staff can help you with arranging these excursions.
