The Offer
Indulge in the ultimate tropical Thai island escape at the uber-cool W Retreat Koh Samui. Enjoy five unforgettable nights with a wealth of generous inclusions such as daily breakfasts, nightly dinners, return airport transfers, massages and more for only $3,499 for two adults, valued up to $13,290.
Check out the exclusive resort video below, presented by travel expert Sophie Falkiner.
This seriously stylish resort – the winner of a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2016 – stretches across nine miles of lush tropical grounds dotted with 74 luxurious, private pool villas, six elegant bars and restaurants and a pristine white sand beach fringed with palm trees.
The resort is part of the W Hotels collection and is a division of the prestigious Starwood Hotels & Resorts group which is pioneering a new lifestyle hotel experience that marries the luxury service you expect from a leading hotel group with contemporary, cutting-edge design.
Like its sister resort, the iconic W Bali - Seminyak, W Retreat Koh Samui is world-renowned for its achingly-cool Woobar with its infinity pool seating overlooking the ocean. Insider tip: according to our Luxury Escape travel experts, Woobar Koh Samui takes the Woobar experience to a whole new level from its Bali counterpart, offering panoramic views and a more exclusive guest list - unlike in Bali, guests at Woobar Koh Samui need to pay a cover charge to experience Woobar.
From the resident teddy bear in each room whose miniature robe hangs in the wardrobe, to the surprise treats in your room each evening from chocolates to drink vouchers, the resort is exemplary of the quirky, luxe style distinctive to W. Whilst in residence, take advantage of perks including Sweet Spot snack stations laden with complimentary ice creams and refreshing cold soft drinks for you to enjoy, and special hourly treats on the beach such as fruit and cocktails.
At W Hotels, no request is too large or too small: especially with W's signature Whatever/Whenever® concierge service. Hungry at 3am? Not a problem. Fancy travelling to the airport in a chauffeur-driven luxury car? Anything is possible…any time.
Located on the north coast of the island just 20 minutes from the airport, the W Retreat Koh Samui is just a 25-minute drive to famous Chaweng Beach and less than a ten-minute drive from Bophut’s charming Fisherman’s Village with its waterfront restaurants, bars and shops.
