Koh Samui Magical Blend of Thai Charm and Tropical ParadiseKoh Samui blends the essence of Thai charm, dramatic island vistas and exceptional luxury.An island of contrasts. The island road passes at one moment exquisite panoramas and then through the hive of activity that is Chaweng and Lamai and further to deep rubber plantations and wooded highlands. Sprinkled around the island are traditional Thai fishing villages where sun-aged fisherman practice their craft of centuries.

From scuba to shopping for designer products to a wander through an island market to a day-out on a luxurious yacht, Koh Samui is large enough to feature diverse attractions to the most discerning visitor and the island is small enough to retain its own very distinct charm.

Whether it’s the yacht scene, world-class haute cuisine, art galleries, extreme sports, vibrant night spots with international DJ or coral reefs, village life, ancient ways, traditional dance and tropical jungle mountains, Samui indulges its visitors with an eclectic array of exceptional attractions.

Thai MassageThai traditional massage is not just the kneading of muscles and joints, but also a manipulation of points along invisible energy lines or sen pra tan sib. The Thai traditional scripture explains that there are ten major energy lines and about 72,000 minor lines in the human body. When applying pressure along the sen pra tan sib, internal energy is stimulated in the body, eliminating toxins, healing damaged tissue, glands and organs.

Our SpecialtiesTraditional Thai massage approaches include Thai herbal compresses and treatments geared to dealing with migraine and executive stress. The centre also features yoga classes, Reiki healing sessions and guided meditation.
