[Thailand] X2 Resort - Koh Samui



The general area is underdeveloped and peaceful with the only a few high-end residential villa projects sharing the beach. The resort occupies 5 acres (12 Rai) of land, with 27 villas. Most have private swimming pools, and outside areas.

The 100 meter beachfront and 50 year old trees help provide the X2 atmosphere the owners were striving to achieve, and gave designers the background on which to recreate the resort.

The resort has a unique spa, and impressive outdoor massage pavilion. The Pavilion houses only two beds and is situated on 1 acre (2.5 rai) of land featuring 30 meters of beachfront. This extravagant use of prime land provides an unbelievable sense of space and freedom so typical of X2 Resorts.


Rates: 4,855 - 30,800 Baht

[Thailand] Six Senses Hideaway Yao Noi, Thailand

Koh Yao Noi is a picturesque island in Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay - the unique natural environment setting for the 9.6-hectare, or almost 24-acre Six Senses Hideaway Yao Noi, that exemplifies the Six Senses Hideaway philosophy of Redefining Experiences from arrival to departure. The natural vegetation and tropical landscaping provide privacy and allow glorious views over Phang Nga Bay.

The resort has 54 generously proportioned, private pool villas, plus The Hilltop Reserve, and the Retreat; all represent an uncompromised standard of luxury. The attention to detail and focus on the reality of the destination reinforces Six Senses Hideaway’s commitment to the environment. Each villa has its own infinity-edged pool with sundeck and is attended by a personal villa team who is trained to anticipate every whim.

Dining options abound with several restaurants and bars and a well-stocked wine cellar. The Dining Room offers fine dining with Italian cuisine and features a glass floor with a creek meandering beneath. The Living Room presents a marriage of world cuisine, with an emphasis on Thai, plus tandoori and pizza ovens, and an open grill, while the Chef’s Table offers a very personal dining experience for just eight guests.


Rates: 20,000 - 400,000 Thai Baht
