This luxury hotel seamlessly blends old-world colonial charm with contemporary chic, boasting 30 acres of lush lawns dotted with roaming peacocks and graced with an award-winning spa.

Akaryn, Koh Samui
Swap one island for another with a serene stay at Koh Samui’s Akaryn. This boutique hotel takes laid-back luxury to the next level with a sumptuous day spa, contemporary rooms and fabulous dining. Splash out on a 100sqm Pool Villa, complete with a freestanding stone-carved bath and private 8m infinity pool. Don’t neglect the main pool – the swim-up wet bar will keep you hydrated all afternoon! Dry off and throw your best outfit on for a visit to Ochos, the hotel’s fine-dining fusion restaurant. Select and share combinations of three, five or eight tapas and toast your own health with sangria or wine. Finish the night at Spa IV to truly shake those city blues: balance your chakras in the crystal room or draw on the healing powers of Thai herbs with a massage and facial.
