Combine the love of travel with the necessities of everyday life at the Resort’s Private Retreats

Koh Samui, Thailand

Set along a flourishing tropical hillside, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is renowned among the world’s best for family vacations, where adults enjoy a well-deserved break and children frolic with fun, learning experiences. Whether it is the much-needed dose of “vitamin sea” or a longing to work remotely at ocean’s edge, the Resort is the perfect sanctuary for an extended stay.

With Private Retreats ranging from two to five bedrooms, guests seeking a home-away-from-home now have a new address on the island of Koh Samui. “Our Resort is the ideal venue to soak in the beauty of Thailand’s island life,” shares Jasjit Assi, General Manager, “Less than 30 minutes away from the airport, we promise a calming oasis with experiences that encourage both mindfulness and rejuvenation.”

Diverse Experiences

Renowned for its lush landscapes and vibrant streets, Koh Samui’s pristine white-sand shores and crystal-clear waters are an immediate draw. “Guests can explore the charming Fisherman's Village for a taste of local cuisine and shopping or visit the iconic Big Buddha temple for a cultural experience,” shares Hannes Schneider, Resort Manager. Into the heart of the hustle is Chaweng Beach, where dining, shopping, and nightlife come together. “Vendors selling local snacks, cold drinks, jewellery and sarongs patrol the area regularly,” he adds. The fun and frolic comes alive at night with food carts and beachside entertainment galore.

For those seeking a quiet getaway, the island’s natural beauty is highlighted by Angthong National Marine Park with its stunning landscape and adventures – both above and underwater. The Resort recommends several hikes and short walks around the island that can easily be accessed for a half-day or full-day experience. “Our favourite is the Na Muang Waterfall, which is set in lush jungle surrounds,” says Schneider, “And Nam Tok Ta Nim Magical Garden – hidden away high in the verdant hills of Koh Samui’s interior – created by Nim Thongsuk (Uncle Nim as he’s fondly called), in memory of his late wife.”

The World is a Classroom

While parents enjoy relaxing by the beach, there’s a new classroom waiting to be discovered. The Tree House Kids Club offers young guests educational experiences in a fun environment by the sea, featuring outdoor activities as well as creative crafts and games. In addition, the Resort also organises a series of well-designed activities for both teenagers and young children to connect with Thailand’s vibrant culture. "Whether it is learning the traditional Thai martial art of Muay Thai from an expert, or putting their innate culinary talents to test, there’s plenty to keep our young guests engaged,” says Schneider. The exhilarating schedule of activities is a great way to discover new cultures, even as education takes on a new, fun shape.

Stay Well, Live Well

With several years of experience in integrated wellness, the spa team offers a diverse range of signature wellness experiences – from immersive day-long programs at The Secret Garden Spa, to wholesome cuisine at the restaurants. “We understand that wellbeing is an integral part of travel plans,” acknowledges Director of Spa Kotchaphan Mekloy. “From dietary recommendations to spa rituals, our team is here to guide you on a path of wellbeing that can be sustained by your lifestyle.” The traditional Thai concept of Tard Chao Ruan inspired by the elements - Din (Earth), Nam (Water), Lom (Air) and Fai (Fire) - lays the foundation of the spa’s wellbeing programs, focusing on sustainability and locally sourced, organic products. “No relaxation experience is complete without a traditional Thai Massage or the Resort’s special Kala Coconut Massage,” insists Mekloy.

Private Sanctuary

The most expansive accommodation, the Resort’s plush 2-5 bedroom Residence Villas provide that much-needed warmth to a home-away-from-home. From upholstery to flooring and interior design – these expansive villas bring in a fresh new energy to complement the serene tropical setting: an amphitheatre of sun, sand and sea. With a private kitchen and dining for up to eight people, guests can truly enjoy this accommodation's seclusion. “The infinity pool and beautiful outdoor décor offer an immersive experience, while the private entrance provides an ‘away from it all’ feeling, while still being well-looked-after by a personal residential assistant,” shares Schneider.

Extend the Stay

For stays of 5 nights or longer, the Resort offers a host of benefits including 20 percent savings on the room rate, daily breakfast for two persons per bedroom, and 10 percent savings on food and beverage, spa and laundry.

“Discover a new space that complements your lifestyle. Our dedicated people are committed to delivering the same intuitive service and personalised care for which we are known and trusted the world-over,” Assi reassures.
