Paradise Beach Resort, Koh Samui

Paradise Beach Resort is just a 20-minute car ride from Samui International Airport and the nightlife of Chaweng, but the resort’s peace and tranquillity will transport you a thousand miles from hustle and bustle of international travel. As the name suggests, Paradise Beach Resort’s 94 rooms nestle on a six-kilometre-long beach, in the Maenam district of Koh Samui’s northern coast. Many of the rooms are set in lush tropical gardens where you can relax on your own terrace, or in a free-standing hammock, perhaps enjoying some of the fresh fruit provided to your room every day. Alternatively head to the terrace restaurant and beach bar for a meal or a cocktail while drinking in the stunning view of neighbouring Koh Phangan across the deep blue waters of Maenam beach. If you need further help relaxing, the La-Moon spa offers a variety of traditional Thai and speciality massages accompanied by soothing music. There is also plenty for a more active day, with table tennis, free bike hire, two freshwater swimming pools and of course the beach itself for kayaking, swimming and boat trips.
