Discover the ultimate tropical hideaway at W Koh Samui, where luxury meets serenity. Perfect for families and honeymooners, this exclusive resort offers only private villas—each with its own shimmering pool. It’s a secluded sanctuary designed for pure relaxation. From the moment you arrive, the W Team makes you feel right at home. We were warmly welcomed by Michael, the Quality Manager, who ensured our stay was nothing short of exceptional. Perched above the breakfast area, Woo Bar offers a mesmerising panorama of the Gulf of Thailand. The shifting shades of ocean blues and lush greens create a surreal sunset spectacle. Lounge seats nestled in a tranquil lake add a dreamy touch to the scene. Dining at W Koh Samui is a journey of flavour. Breakfast at The Kitchen Table was a highlight, featuring a Thai special menu alongside international favourites—our top pick being the Avocado Toast. Andre, the talented F&B Director, wowed us with his craft cocktail-making at breakfast, while Executive Chef Manu’s TKT Toast and Namu Pancakes made dessert unforgettable. Bee, the ever-smiling Executive Sous Chef, offered fresh fruits—especially mangosteen, which stole our hearts. And Bud’s incredible memory—taking six orders flawlessly—was equally impressive. For an extraordinary beachfront experience, Namu serves up exceptional Japanese cuisine with unbeatable views of the sunset. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Koh Samui Airport, W Koh Samui offers easy access to Central Samui shopping mall and Chaweng Beach via complimentary daily shuttle service.

The staff was outstanding. Tony, Andre, and Michael were exceptional, but all staff members were kind, courteous, and always willing to help.

We received great photos from Ton! It was a wonderful experience, we went all over the hotel and it was truly a wonderful experience. His breadth of understanding regarding photography was truly unmatched. He knew exactly where to shoot and how!

W Koh Samui Is peaceful and a beautiful place just what you need on a holiday. The staff is available 24x7 if needed. They are courteous and they have taken good care of us. From the Restaurants to In room dining the food and beverages have been refreshing and delicious. Highlight of the place is the kind of activities we did around here, We got a photography session with a professional photographer Biw at the hotel, and oh! boy wasn’t that wonderful. The photos are stunning and beautiful something we couldn’t manage on our own. Thank you W Koh Samui for a wonderful time and memories.

The hospitality of the staff was truly exceptional. Nancy, in particular, noticed I was getting mosquito bites and kindly gave me a brand-new balm—she was a wonderful hotelier. The property feels spacious and open, and the sunset views from the beach are simply stunning. My room had a private pool and was kept spotlessly clean throughout my stay. It’s a place I would love to return to again.

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!
