Located south of Bangkok in the "Land of Smiles," the picturesque island of Koh Samui is home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches, temperate rainforests, and stunning shorelines. With the addition of Banyan Tree Samui, Koh Samui is now home to the "Best New Beach Resort Hotel" as named by the elite Condé Nast Traveller Hot List 2011. The resort's breathtaking exterior rises above the shimmering Gulf of Thailand amidst cascading treetop terraces on an isolated hill cove. Banyan Tree Samui boasts an all villa-resort; each generously proportioned living space impressively combines aspects of traditional Thai-style architecture with modern planning and design, such as the steep, raised rooftops, striking floor-to-ceiling windows, and its own elevated, private pool. The beautiful, expansive grounds are surrounded by the lush, aromatic foliage of the region, making it the picture perfect backdrop for every celebration of life: birthdays, weddings, romantic getaways, and everything in between.

5 star service, location, staff. Thank you to the hotelmanager Apple for taking good care of us. Food at the beach is good, breakfast a nightmare. In response to remarks, the management claims an well maintained resort. Simply not true! It does not deserve its five star rating. Needs love- a lot of love- as well as urgent maintenance and renovation. Not worth the money. In its current condition this resort is pretentious and seriously overpriced

I could never asked more beautiful, comfortable, and fun stay than this. Services are excellent. Our room gets cleaned every morning and night. (Thank you Tukta and Dee Housekeeping!) Waking up and right jumping into the pool in the morning with sunrise view is a dream. Location wise, it is far from the downtown or so (always need a taxi to get out of the resort) but still enjoyed the stay!

We recently had a lovely three-night stay at Banyan Tree Koh Samui. We were fortunate to have an ocean-view room perched high on the cliff, with fantastic views that could easily rival the Amalfi Coast. The resort is beautifully lush and green, with a real jungle feel that makes it a very relaxing place to stay. The main pool is excellent, and there is a very nice beach area as well. Service around the resort is attentive without being intrusive—you rarely have to wait long before someone comes by to see if you’d like a drink. The room was also serviced three times a day, which was a really nice touch and kept everything feeling fresh throughout our stay. Breakfast was another highlight, with an excellent selection of food and a beautiful ocean view from the main dining area. The staff deserve a special mention, particularly Mint and John, who provided outstanding service. More generally, every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful and clearly focused on making sure guests had a good experience. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The setting, facilities and service all lived up to expectations, and we would happily return.

Exceptional stay at Banyan Tree Samui! A stunning, peaceful resort with flawless villas, incredible food, and plenty of activities. The entire staff was attentive and caring throughout our stay. A special thank you to our amazing Villa Host, Mint we were so lucky to have her, and she helped us with absolutely everything. Highly recommended

Beautifully appointed classy rooms, impeccable service by staff, good food at the restaurants, 24 hour buggy service. The property has a gorgeous setting by a lagoon, and the staff (Mint) and Massy at the spa was fantastic!
