What is it?
Easily one of Koh Samui’s most serene beachfront retreats, NH Collection Samui Peace Resort is the first NH Collection hotel in Thailand. Lined with swaying coconut palms on Bophut Beach, it’s just steps from the lively Fisherman’s Village.
Why we love it?
Ever feel like you need a holiday that’s both relaxing and adventurous? NH Collection Samui Peace Resort nails it. Lounge by one of the area’s largest freeform pools, wander through gardens scented with tropical flowers or join a Muay Thai class, yoga on the beach or aqua aerobics session. Kids and teens get their own playground universe, from splash pools and a cinema room to a proper kids’ club, while adults can roll up their sleeves in a private cooking class, sip sunset cocktails, or enjoy a breezy al fresco dinner. The villas are where things get really good. Garden-view terraces with al fresco tubs, family suites with colourful bunk beds and daybeds and beachfront villas with private plunge pools feel like your own little slice of paradise. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, the presidential pool villa with its infinity pool, sunken living room and BBQ area is basically a tropical dream come true. Every space is designed to feel private, comfortable and connected to the sea.
Time Out tip:
Book a beachfront or pool villa to make the most of the ocean views, and check out the resort’s Sea Wrap restaurant for Thai specials and cocktails by the water. For a special treat, arrange a private beachside dinner or wander 400 m to the sister property, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort, for more dining options.
