The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui

I stayed for six nights at this fabulous resort in May 2026, travelling alone as a special birthday treat. From start to finish, the entire experience was perfect – in particular, the staff and service were absolutely outstanding. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, everyone went out of their way to ensure I had the perfect holiday and birthday. The accommodation is simply beautiful. I was lucky enough to stay in an Exclusive Pool Villa, and if your budget allows, the extra cost is very much worth it. The villa is beautifully appointed, spacious, and offers a high level of privacy. During my stay, I dined in most of the restaurants. There is a wide variety of cuisines, and both the food and service were consistently of a very high standard. The only downside was that it almost made me reluctant to leave the resort! I also used both the gym, which is very well equipped, and the spa (twice), which was top-notch. My treatments were excellent (thank you, Reena), and the spa setting is extraordinary – definitely worth the indulgence. The location is another real highlight. Whilst it feels secluded, exclusive, and incredibly relaxing, it is also very easy to arrange transport or meet guides to explore the island. I will definitely return to Koh Samui and, without hesitation, will stay at this hotel again.

I had the best shave and haircut of my life with Saan at The Ritz-Carlton Spa in Koh Samui. The service was excellent from start to finish, and Saan was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. I felt completely relaxed and well taken care of the entire time. Truly an outstanding experience, and I would highly recommend Saan to anyone visiting the spa.

Just had a body massage with Som. it was so invigorating. Som was fantastic and welcoming. Coming back tomorrow for another great treatment

My stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Everything was genuinely 10/10 — the staff, the facilities, and especially the room were simply outstanding. The Ultimate Pool Villa truly lived up to its name, with breathtaking views and an unforgettable atmosphere. What made the experience even more special was the level of service. Every single member of staff made us feel genuinely valued, welcomed, and cared for throughout the stay. I honestly can’t find a single negative thing to say about this property. A flawless experience and one of the best stays I’ve ever had.

Amazing experience with amazing staff som and rose experience in hospitality and service 5 star rating
