A stay at the Banyan Tree Samui will leave you feeling like you've found heaven on earth. We know we say that each time, but honestly it's just because we choose such great holiday locations! In any case, we tried it, and we insist that the Banyan Tree chain of resorts have something really special: ideal locations, large villas complete with private pools, faultless service and some great cocktails to help you enjoy all of the above!
After trying Sanya, we headed off for Koh Samui. All you have to think about is deciding between the pool and the beach or dinner at the restaurant or on your own private terrace! Bliss! Nothing can make you more relaxed than these surroundings- especially with the calming water everywhere. It's not difficult to see why it only took a few hours for the stress of everyday problems and pollution to fade!
We spent a whole week there, but a long weekend is totally doable too. So get your diaries out, find the next red day for when you get get a decent length break- and then get booking!
Getting there: 2 flights per day go direct from Hong Kong- Koh Samui with Bangkok Airways (approx 3 hrs)
