What it’s good at
Listed
Southern Thai timber pavilions with traditional double-hip roofs set along garden walkways.
Listed
Beachside dinners serving fresh Gulf of Thailand seafood and traditional shared Khantoke platters.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Chaweng Beach sits right out front, and the shops of Central Samui mall are an easy walk away.
The rooms
Natural timber and plastered walls finish the rooms, which sit in small clusters tucked among the coconut palms.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Yellow-striped umbrellas shade loungers along the pool deck, where water spills over a raised stone wall.
The spa and gym
Thatched open-air pavilions host Thai herbal compress rituals among the palms, and the timber fitness studio holds Technogym equipment.
Restaurant
The Beach Club
Woven fish pendants hang beneath the high timber ceiling, and tables spill onto the sand for evening fire shows.
At the table
The Beach Bar mixes cocktails beside the pool, where barstools pull up to an illuminated wooden counter.
How it began
Habita Architects modeled the property on a Southern Thai settlement, opening in 2005 as Rasa Hospitality's debut resort.
