About the Conrad Koh Samui

Here, it's all about the sunset. The resort is situated on the southwestern slope of Koh Samui, and each pool villa with its infinity pool offers breathtaking westward views across the Five Islands, as do the glass-enclosed Aura Lounge and the main pool perched right on the cliff edge. Anyone who books a villa and doesn't spend the hour before nightfall with a drink on their private terrace has missed the point.

It's a place that seeks absolute seclusion. Chaweng is about 40 minutes away, which is either a drawback or the main reason for choosing this location. I'd say the latter. The daily routine is clearly structured: villa, spa, sunset, dinner, and then repeat. The food is superb. Jahn serves upscale Thai cuisine, and behind it is a first-class wine cellar. Families and honeymooners alike will feel at home here, although the hillside location means you're more likely to be using buggies and stairs to get to the beach than strolling barefoot.

I would advise against this resort for anyone looking for nightlife, restaurants within walking distance, or a long, flat beach right on their doorstep. This is a resort for relaxation and doesn't pretend to be anything else.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

Location is more important than the stars

A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
