Twin Lotus Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta

According to many people, Koh Lanta is one of the most beloved islands of Thailand. Situated in the province Krabi in southern Thailand, this tropical paradise belongs – together with 14 surrounding islands – to the Koh Lanta National Marine Park in the Andaman Sea.

The east and west coast of the island are quite different. On the west side, you find breathtaking sandy beaches, while the east coast consists of cliffs and evergreen mangrove forest.

Koh Lanta is less touristy compared to the rest of Thailand and is therefore an ideal location for those seeking rest and relaxation. Of course, you find also some entertainment in one of the nice bars on the beach, where you can sit down in the evening with a drink and enjoy the spectacular sunset.

Colonial luxury, Manathai Koh Samui

Imagine a place on a tropical island in the warm waters of Thailand, where tropical birds fly around and colored butterflies are dancing in the air. Where the blue sea is a beautiful contrast with the green vegetation of the island.

For a moment you imagine yourself back in time and you feel like you’re in a colonial mansion, where you can taste the wealth and luxury. Here you are, on Koh Samui, where you are a guest of the beautifully renovated boutique hotel Manathai, on the fabulous sands of Lamai Beach.

Melati Beach Resort & Spa, Koh Samui

Melati Beach Resort & Spa is located at the beautiful Thongson Bay on the fashionable north coast of Koh Samui. This upscale resort is set amidst a beautiful tropical landscape, overlooking a pristine white beach and crystal clear water. It offers a range of amenities and comfort, so you can enjoy entirely a luxurious stay.

The hotel is quietly located, just 15 minutes away from Chaweng Beach. It is a perfect alternative for those wishing to explore the vibrant restaurants and bars along the sand, but also want to enjoy the tranquility at their own villa, surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens.

Koh Samui’s top 10 beach resorts

Koh Samui is Thailand’s exhibition of beautiful secluded beach resorts and boutique hotels, with more creativity and fine design per meter of sand than any other place in Thailand. There is a new trend among creative architects and designers to seek out hidden shores, like rocky coasts, remote beaches and deeply forested corners, in which to craft their new creations.

The very essence of a holiday on Samui is embraced by the first caress of the sun’s rays in the morning and the sound of waves breaking on the shoreline. Samui’s specialty is sunrises. Most of the island’s resorts face eastward and with them being right on the coast, there is nothing to interrupt the view. The sight of the sun rising over the Gulf of Thailand brings another perfect day in paradise. Read More…

Luxury at its best! Banyan Tree Samui

The banyan tree is a sacred tree in Thailand. If you’ve ever seen it, then you know exactly why this tree is so unique. Several legends exist about the origin of this tree. One of the oldest legends comes from the ancient tribes of India. According to them, the banyan tree symbolizes the richness of nature. It even seems that Buddha attained enlightenment and immortality under the Banyan Tree.

Also, the Banyan Tree can become one of the oldest trees in the world. Five years ago, in a private natural bay on the island of Koh Samui a particular resort called Banyan Tree was originated. I was able to take a look and taste it’s five-star luxuriousness. It was definitively a real luxury!

Tongsai Bay, special place at a private bay

Tongsai Bay is a beautiful hotel in the middle of nature. The previous owner discovered this private bay over 30 years ago on Koh Samui and built the resort himself. He even slept on the beach at night! The love for nature that he had back then and the wish to preserve nature as much as possible can still be found at the hotel. Nowadays Tongsai Bay is over 10 hectares big and it’s truly a tropical paradise.

The resort houses many different accommodations from deluxe rooms along the pool to cottage villas and villas with a private pool. Tongsai bay is so outstretched that you can be transported by buggy. But, it doesn’t feel that big, because you can still walk everywhere. The only path you need to follow is the path down, towards the pool and the ogling sea of Choeng Mon Beach.
