Incredible hotel and staff. Looked at various places on island before booking and glad with the choice. Breakfast was incredible, rooms spacious with private pools. Proximity to private beach was great. Easy to get to fisherman’s village by taxi in the evening. Hotel fire shows was great too. Thanks especially to Cookie who was great with the children. Whole W team were brilliant. You won’t be disappointed if you stay there.

We stayed at W Koh Samui specifically for a couples photoshoot, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location. Every corner of the resort is photo-ready — from the modern beachfront lounges to the lush tropical gardens and that iconic “W” deck floating over the water. The natural lighting at sunrise and sunset was absolutely dreamy, and the staff was incredibly kind and respectful while we worked with our photographer. The design of the villa, with its sleek private pool and ocean views, gave us both glamorous and relaxed photo settings all in one place. If you’re planning a shoot — whether it’s for memories, content, or something special — this place is a photographer’s dream. Our photos turned out like something out of a magazine!

I went to Namu the other day — and wow, it was absolutely delicious! At first, I thought the place might be just average, but I was totally wrong. The dishes were a creative blend with a modern twist, and the flavors were simply outstanding. The price was a bit on the high side, but it was worth it — great food always wins. I’ll definitely come back again when I get the chance. It was truly the best!

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!
