Where to stay
There’s a fantastic choice of villas and suites at Six Sense Samui, some with infinity pools but all with unbeatable views across the Gulf and outdoor daybeds on which you can lie to soak it all in. All of the interiors are contemporary yet cosy, with crisp white linens, colourful textiles, hard wooden floors and lemon and lime soft furnishings that add a pop of tropical colour as well as traditional thatch roofs. For the ultimate villa experience we love The Retreat, the resort’s premium two-bedroom villa with a large infinity pool looking over the Gulf Of Thailand.
