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

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.
