Six Senses Samui is set on a raised headland at the northern tip of Koh Samui, with 67 villas spread through 20 acres of native planting and views out over the Gulf of Thailand. The villas are built in local hardwoods with open-plan bathrooms and outdoor showers, and most have an infinity-edge pool facing the sea. Some come with their own sala for treatments in the villa, and larger options include a two-bedroom Ocean Retreat and a three-bedroom Beach Reserve. Dining on the Rocks sits on terraces cut into the cliff, Dining on the Hill serves regional and international dishes, and Drift at the Beach cooks from a wood-fired oven and grill by the sea. The main infinity pool catches the sunset, while the beach pool suits early swimmers. The spa offers treatments in open-air pavilions, and the resort runs its own Farm on the Hill, with goats and chickens that guests can visit. The airport is about ten minutes away, which makes this an easy island to reach from Bangkok.

Insider tip Ask for an ocean-view villa with a pool, and book a treatment in your own sala rather than at the spa.
Why I choose it We choose Six Senses Samui for couples who want a quiet corner of a busy island: private pool villas, a cliff-top restaurant and an airport only minutes away.
