Koh Samui holidays are a perfect blend of blue lagoon beaches, top-rate spas and mouthwatering Thai food.

Tropical hotspot

Off the east coast of the Malay Peninsula in southern Thailand, it's like Koh Samui was designed as Mother Nature's own luxury hideaway spot – think green jungles, towering waterfalls and palm tree-clad peaks. From shopping at traditional markets to paddling in blue waters, there's plenty to pack into your day here.

A taste of Thailand

The handy thing about the beaches in Koh Samui is that you're never more than a stone's throw from world-class eateries. Test your spice-o-metre with chilli-infused sour soups, or play it safe with zesty, peanutty pad thai. Crack open a coconut for a fresh swig to stay hydrated, island-style.

Sister island hopping

If you're celebrating an occasion, catch the ferry to Koh Phangan with your dancing shoes on – DJs spin tunes right on 'til morning here. For the best scuba diving spots, sail out a little further to Koh Tao to get your outdoor aquatic fix.

Technicolour sights

In Koh Samui, ancient temples line streets splashed with colour, all against a backdrop of emerald hills and turquoise bays. Snap photos of the pointed red roofs at Wat Plai Laem, or admire the golden buddha and preserved red-clay wonders inside Wat Sila Ngu.
