Come experience paradise at the Gulf of Thailand's idyllic island escape, W Koh Samui.

The comfortable rooms, designed and brought to life by award-winning visionary Carl Almeida, have names like Jungle Oasis and Extreme WOW Ocean Haven, names that capture the beauty and tranquility of the tropical paradise that is Koh Samui. Adorned with amenities that can only be described as chic and contemporary—a Yamaha Sound System and 22" Samsung LCD TV in the bathroom!—your living space at W Retreat will make you feel positively regal. Just bask in the opulence of it all, from the indulgent outdoor rain shower to the heavenly Bliss Spa bath products.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff and service were excellent—everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always smiling. The hotel is beautiful, with a stunning beach and amazing sunsets. Breakfast was varied and delicious, and in the evenings there were fire shows and a DJ, creating a great atmosphere. The location is quiet and relaxing, but it's a bit far from the main tourist areas, so you'll need a taxi, which usually costs around 400–700 THB each way. One thing to keep in mind is that the room layout may not be ideal for families with teenagers. Everyone sleeps in the same open space, and the passage between the bedroom and the bathroom is not fully private because of the transparent design. We asked for a solution, and the hotel kindly hung a sheet to provide additional privacy for the bathroom area, which we appreciated.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Relaxation massage with May. Credit for massage given per the Romantic Escape package. May's expert hands really worked on my sore muscles. May is professional and thoughtful as a massage therapist.

From the minute you arrive at the W Retreat Koh Samui you are met with the Wow factor. The view from the lobby is absolutely breathtaking!! The pool villas were modern, beautifully decorated & very private and had direct access to the beach. Staff were very friendly & attentive. Had the most incredible meal at Namu. Thank you to the amazing chefs who just created something special for me based on what I felt like - no menu required.

This is definitely a resort with wow factors in many ways. Besides the breathtaking view of Gulf of Thailand and the Maenam Beach, the staffs left me a nice impression as well, General Manager Nick himself gave us a personal tour introduction at the beginning which led to a wonderful stay for us at W Retreat Koh Samui. Worth coming again and again!
