Four Seasons Koh Samui, Thailand: Luxury Straight Out of "White Lotus"

Why Four Seasons Koh Samui is your ultimate luxury escape

Picture this: a hillside retreat where your private infinity pool melts into the horizon, the sound of waves is your morning alarm and the biggest decision you have to make is whether to order another coconut by the pool or get a Thai massage at the spa. That’s life at the Four Seasons Koh Samui.

Four Seasons Koh Samui

This resort isn’t just about five-star luxury — it’s about experiential luxury. Here are just a few things that make this place unforgettable:

• Private pool villas & residences – Every villa here comes with its own infinity pool, meaning you never have to share your swim space unless you want to. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking views of the sea or jungle, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a dream.

• Secret beach & beachfront bliss – The resort’s private beach is a secluded paradise with soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. Unlike some of the busier beaches on Koh Samui, this one feels like your own hidden oasis. Snag a beachfront cabana early in the day for the best spot to lounge in peace!

• Muay Thai training with a view – Want to channel your inner fighter while on vacation? Their on-site Muay Thai ring is perched on a hillside overlooking the sea (because why train in a regular gym when you could be throwing punches in paradise?). Even if you’re a beginner, give it a shot! The trainers are fantastic, and the workout is both fun and empowering.
