Fodor's Expert Review W Retreat Koh Samui

4/1 Moo1, Koh Samui, Surat Thani, 84330, Thailand

Oozing flashy flair, the W Retreat Koh Samui is most definitely a place to see and be seen. Public areas are adorned with graffiti art, DJs supply cool beach beats, while a main infinity pool and the resort's sugary beach offer ample scope for the beautiful people who favor the brand to strut their stuff. The property walks the walk while talking the talk. Its pool villas are by far the most stylish on the island, featuring vaulted ceilings and blonde woods, gorgeous outdoor decks, and ample private pools. For sustenance, try Namu Japanese restaurant, which is famous for its superfresh sashimi and signature lobster udon. 

PROS

  • free ice cream helps the cooling process
  • Woo Bar offers the ultimate in IG opportunities
  • pool villas are real tropical party pads

CONS

  • not much around the resort
  • perhaps tries too hard
  • ubiquitous dance beats not for everyone
