About Samui

Against the backdrop of hills, the beaches of Koh Samui stand as one of the most sought after palm-fringed tropical destinations. The most popular spots are Chaweng beach and Lamai. Both are on the East coast where each day greets you with a spectacular sunrise.

In such an idyllic setting the temptation is simply to laze peacefully on the beach and soak up a tropical sun tan. But if you want more there are amenities for water sports, such as windsurfing, kayaking and snorkeling. The coastal waters are exciting to explore and are especially rich in shoals of brightly colored fish and exotic coral formations.

Principal among Samui's natural sights are two picturesque waterfalls, Hin Lat and Na Muang 1&2. Island hopping is another attraction and boats can be easily hired for trips to Koh Pha Ngan (the nearest and largest island next to Samui), and to the smaller islands of Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan, where beautiful bays with colorful coral formations offer excellent conditions for snorkeling. A more adventurous full day excursion can be made to Ang Thong Marine Park, a group of 40 islands northwest of Samui. Here you will see spectacular limestone formations, caves, blue lagoons and amazingly beautiful beaches.

Dining and entertainment

Fresh seafood and tropical fruits are the natural specialties of Samui, though you will find menus sufficiently varied to cater to all tastes. International favorites as well as spicy Thai dishes are available We can recommend good places for you to go if you wish to eat outside the villa’s.

Climate

Thailand, and therefore Samui, is fast becoming a country to be visited all year round. Samui benefits from a good weather season of about 10 months of the year. The 'dry' season is from January till May and July through to September. Temperatures regularly reach 30 to 35 degrees till May and then 35 to 40 degrees till September with odd showers from July to September. The 'wet' season is from mid October to mid-end December when temperatures are around the 25 to 30 degree mark. Brief tropical rain showers may occur late December and early January. But remember the climate is changing everywhere due to global warming so it is therefore impossible to say what the weather is going to be like during your visit.
