 The Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is an away-from-it-all hillside resort on the mystical Gulf of Siam. Here guests can discover Koh Samui's endless talcum-sand beaches, most notably Chaweng Beach, which is 7 km long. A wide range of attractions can be discovered travelling by songtow (small, open bus): from historic temples to spectacular waterfalls and unusual limestone rock formations. Koh Samui is also a gourmet paradise, where abundant varieties of fish and shellfish from nearby waters, and exotic herbs from local gardens, are coupled with Thailand's sophisticated culinary traditions. Guests can enjoy a profusion of tropical and international fare. Koh Samui Airport is 10 km away.
The resort's 63 spacious Thai villas are wrapped in tropical gardens, conserved coconut groves and the amphitheatre of sky, sea and islands. Guests can enjoy the forest spa, dine at the hillcrest or beachside, splash in the private bay and explore a pristine world of beaches, reefs, rainforest and sunshine, all the while revelling in the many sides of Thailand. Facilities at the resort include a 24-hour check-in service, a hotel safe, a cloakroom, a hairdressing salon, a restaurant, WLAN Internet access, room and laundry services and a car park.
The villas and residences offer chic, al fresco living spaces with their own infinity pools and astonishing panoramas of the Gulf of Siam. They provide ultimate comfort and elegant seclusion with furnished living areas beneath a thatched canopy and spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms. This tropical idyll enhances guests' stay with the conveniences of the modern world, including advanced technologies such as satellite TV and wireless Internet access. The villas all include a bathroom with a bath/shower and a hairdryer, as well as a direct dial telephone, a radio and hi-fi, a minibar, tea and coffee making facilities, a room safe and a balcony/terrace.

Individual treatment rooms are housed in 5 Thai salas (open pavilions), each with 2 indoor and 2 outdoor Thai-style massage beds, an outdoor shower, an outdoor bathtub and a steam room or indoor rain shower. A separate treatment sala is available for facials, waxing and other services. Afterwards, guests can sip a tropical juice and savour the feeling of serenity in the spa's relaxation sala. The resort includes outdoor pools with sun loungers and a sun terrace. There is a gym and tennis courts.
