Awaken to the Fire Horse at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui: A Lunar New Year Celebration of Strength and Renewal

Set against the backdrop of lush tropical landscapes and the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Thailand, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui invites multigenerational families, couples, and solo travellers to welcome the Year of the Fire Horse with vitality, transformation, and a deep sense of connection. From private Pool Villas to expansive residences ranging from one to five bedrooms, the resort offers a secluded island sanctuary designed for both togetherness and personal retreat.

“The Year of the Fire Horse calls us to embrace change with courage and resilience,” says Jasjit Assi, General Manager. “We have thoughtfully crafted experiences that allow our guests to tap into this vibrant energy to renew, reflect, and celebrate, all while immersed in the serene beauty of our island sanctuary.”

Island Stay Offer: Bed and Breakfast

Welcoming the Lunar New Year is as much about how the day begins as how it is celebrated. With the Bed and Breakfast offer, guests are invited to start each morning with the signature Four Seasons breakfast for two guests per bedroom, served in a serene island setting overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. Designed for families and couples alike, these unhurried mornings offer a moment to gather, reflect, and set intentions for the year ahead, before stepping into a day of festive dining, wellness rituals, and island exploration inspired by the spirit of the Fire Horse.

Feast for the Senses: A Bold Celebration of Flavour

At the heart of Lunar New Year is time spent together, and dining at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is designed for families to gather, share, and celebrate across generations. From relaxed daytime meals to festive evening feasts, thoughtfully curated kids menus ensure younger guests are just as well catered for, creating an easy and welcoming experience for the whole family.

Among the season’s dining highlights is the beachside Fisherman’s Night, where families can come together over a generous buffet of fresh seafood, grilled specialities, and traditional favourites while enjoying a Lion Dance, fire show, and live music that bring the shoreline to life. “Our Lunar New Year dining offerings reflect the richness and vibrancy of this transformative season,” says Hannes Schneider, Resort Manager.

For leisurely afternoons, freshly made gourmet sandwiches, scones, and pastries await at Pla Pla, where the A Taste of Samui Afternoon Tea offers a refined yet relaxed setting with sweeping ocean views. “Add champagne for an extra layer of luxury,” smiles Hannes. Guests may also enjoy a Private Cooking Class, learning to prepare two signature Thai dishes using local ingredients. “It is a meaningful way for families to connect through creativity, inspired by the bold energy of the Fire Horse,” he adds.

Awaken the Senses: Spa Rituals to Channel Vitality

Guests are invited to embrace the energy of the Fire Horse at The Secret Garden Spa with The Secrets of the Moon, a transformative 120-minute ritual. Beginning with a Herbal Foot Bath to open energy channels, followed by a Luk Pra Kob Herbal Compress Massage to release tension, the experience finishes with a Hydrating Herbal Poultice Facial that restores balance and radiance.

For those seeking visible rejuvenation, the Lift CVS Facial offers a revitalising exfoliation and lifting treatment designed to enhance skin tone and vitality. Using a refined manual technique, the facial smooths, firms, and refines the complexion, leaving the skin noticeably more toned and refreshed.

Beyond the treatment rooms, wellness continues with New Moon Sound Bath Restoration, a guided beachside experience designed to restore balance and inner peace. Set under the new moon, the session combines grounding meditation, gentle Koshi and ocean drum sounds, live handpan music, and a soothing sound bath featuring Tibetan bowls and crystal harps. A fire ritual, smudge ceremony, candles, and flowers create a deeply immersive atmosphere for reflection and renewal.

“Families can also share in the healing energy of the Fire Horse through Family Time, a nurturing spa treatment featuring a Coconut Oil Massage, designed to foster connection and emotional strength,” shares Hannes. Locally sourced coconut oil enhances this gentle ritual, making it ideal for meaningful bonding moments while embracing the Fire Horse’s empowering spirit.

Family Adventures: Discover Koh Samui Together

Lunar New Year is a time for shared discovery, and the resort’s curated collection of experiences invites families to explore Koh Samui together, inspired by the dynamic and uplifting spirit of the Fire Horse. From gentle adventure to moments of learning and play, each experience is designed to be enjoyed across generations.

Families may set sail on an Angthong National Marine Park Boat Excursion, exploring the park’s 42 islands, discovering hidden lagoons, snorkelling vibrant reefs, and taking in dramatic limestone cliffs that spark curiosity and wonder for all ages. For those seeking an active shared experience, Muay Thai training at the resort’s scenic hilltop ring offers an engaging introduction to Thailand’s national sport, with sessions adapted to suit beginners and younger participants while reflecting the strength and resilience of the Fire Horse.

Younger guests are thoughtfully welcomed through festive craft workshops and interactive games, where they can create lucky keepsakes, design Year of the Horse accessories, and take part in playful challenges that encourage creativity and confidence. “These joyful moments allow children to connect with the spirit of the Fire Horse in a way that feels fun, meaningful, and memorable,” says Hannes.

A Setting Like No Other

Embracing holistic wellness, savouring the finest cuisine, or exploring the island’s captivating natural beauty, each experience is thoughtfully designed to evoke the bold, transformative energy of this auspicious year. “We take great pride in offering our guests a sanctuary where they can fully immerse themselves in the spirit of the Fire Horse—an experience that is deeply rooted in the island’s natural elegance and rich cultural heritage,” says Jasjit. “This is a time to embrace new beginnings and create an unforgettable unpacking list, all within the tranquil embrace of Koh Samui’s timeless beauty.”
