If you find yourself traveling through Thailand, you might consider visiting the island of Koh Samui, the second largest island in Thailand. The island is a popular place on many travelers’ itinerary, due to its beautiful palm tree edged beaches and the numerous activities for every type of traveler. However, if you’re looking for a luxurious accommodation in a peaceful setting, where you can simply unwind and enjoy the beauty of Koh Samui, then check in at Outrigger Koh Samui Beach Resort.
Overview
Outrigger Koh Samui Beach Resort is situated in a calm area of Bophut at Hanuman Bay. The five-star resort is set along a secluded beach stretch with swaying palm trees creating a relaxing atmosphere. Guests value the calm and peaceful ambience as well as the Thai heritage that is incorporated into the resort.
The Pool Villa
My husband and I stayed two nights in a spacious pool villa that is tucked away between lush greenery to ensure complete privacy. I really liked the tropical feel on our sundeck, which was equipped with a daybed and sunshade. The plunge pool is without doubt the highlight of the villa (and the reason that made leaving our villa so difficult).
The open and bright room features a comfortable king bed in the middle of the room, so that you will wake up to the beautiful view of the tropical garden and the pool. The room is equipped with all essentials: closet space, a working desk, a mini bar with complimentary water, tea and coffee making facilities, a TV and complimentary Wi-Fi. The contemporary interior is paired with wooden elements and a rather neutral color palette that matches perfectly the surrounding.
Separated by a wooden wall, the spacious bathroom has a rain shower, double vanities and a free standing bath tub. Bathrobes, slippers and complimentary amenities complement the luxurious experience.
Breakfast at Outrigger Koh Samui Beach Resort
Breakfast is served at The Library, a casual and open-air room stocked with books. The buffet-styled breakfast offers guests a wide selection of cold and warm dishes. From Asian-inspired noodle soups to homemade French toasts and eggs prepared to your preferences, there is nothing missing. Fresh fruits and juices, delicious pastries and of course varieties of coffee are also provided. The ideal start to your day!
Service & Facilities
What I liked about my stay at Outrigger Koh Samui is that we didn’t have to choose between hibernating on the beach or having new experiences. During our stay we had the opportunity to try out fun activities.
One of them has actually been on my bucket list for a while: a Thai cooking class. I was super excited to finally learn how to make my favorite Thai dishes. For our private cooking class, a chef from the Blue Fire Cooking School was teaching us how to make Pad Thai and Papaya salad. At the end we were ready to taste our finished masterpieces and we fully enjoyed them. If I can say so myself: it was a complete success. I would highly recommend booking a session yourself.
To fully complete our relaxing couple vacay, we had an hour long oil massage booked at Navasana Spa. The treatment left us feeling serene and we were able to unwind completely. Pure bliss! In addition to that we also attended a yoga class in the morning. The class was taking place on the terrace above the resort, so that you had a nice view over the property. A very calm and peaceful atmosphere.
Staying at Outrigger Koh Samui Beach Resort means experiencing true relaxation in a tranquil tropical scenery. This accommodation is ideal for couples, who are looking for a romantic getaway in an idyllic and relaxing setting. The helpful staff will ensure that you enjoy your stay. Another positive thing to note, Thai culture is incorporated into the resort, which I really liked. We felt very welcome throughout our stay and left fully relaxed (and bit sad that our stay was over).
Thank you to Outrigger Koh Samui for hosting me! The opinions expressed on this blog are always my own.
