Staycation: W Koh Samui, Thailand
Located between Maenam and Bo Phut, W Retreat Koh Samui enjoys a pristine beach location in Thailand. The location is quite spectacular, the W hotel lies on a hill along a wide, sandy beach on the northern peninsula where Bo Phut and Mae Nam bays come together.
Upon arrival, without any doubt, the impressive, semi-outdoor lobby with lotus pond is the attraction of the hotel, offering spectacular views over the shimmering turquoise Gulf of Thailand with distant islands on the horizon. In the evening, the bar is wonderfully enlightened, and becomes a trendy, yet intimate place to spend time with friends, family and loved ones.
The hotel showcases innovative architecture and an alluring vision of cutting-edge design that will mainly please the younger crowd (20 to 40 something), as is the case with most W hotels.
The luscious villa settings complement the stunning landscape outside. The 74 spacious rooms come in 7 categories (ranging from jungle oasis to extreme wow ocean haven) and feature earthy wood elements and chic stone tones. They all come with cutting-edge technology, an oversized bathroom, and a large private pool. Rooms are either located near the beach (these rooms come with their own garden) or on a hill overlooking the sea. Beds are heavenly soft and feature pillow-top mattress, fluffy goose-down duvet and 350-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets.
What I loved most was the W beach club. The beach club is a pleasant spot to spend the day: swaying in a hammock or stretching out under the shade on the very comfortable sun-beds is a pure delight. One part of the beach faces the west and is windless. The east facing part is very windy and one of the best kite-surfing spots in Thailand.
The hotel also features an Away Spa where treatments are moderately priced. Nestled within five luxurious pavilions, the seven treatment rooms blend vivid colours with inspiring scents, imaginative sounds, energising lighting and detoxifying potions laced with local flavours.
W Koh Samui also showcases delicious restaurants such as Namu that offers elegant Japanese fare, while The Kitchen Table mixes up world favourites.
All the staff were extremely friendly ensuring that all guests enjoy their vacation to the maximum. A great get away for yourself, a group of friends or even families!
