Fodor's Expert Review The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui

9/123, Plai Laem Beach, Koh Samui, Surat Thani, 84320, Thailand

The biggest property on Koh Samui in terms of area, the Ritz-Carlton revels in all that space. Stretching out over 58 acres, the resort encompasses highlights such as a private beach, a glorious swimming pool, one of the island's grandest beach clubs, numerous fine dining outlets and sublime accommodations. Pick of the latter are the resort's Ultimate Pool Villas, which enjoy showstopping views over the ocean.
