Belmond Napasai, Koh Samui Island

The Belmond Napasai is a fine boutique resort with a prime beachfront location on the northern tip of Koh Samui. The resort offers some of the most luxurious, tasteful and private accommodation on the island.

Its 69 villas and cottages are spread over lush cashew and coconut groves and are designed in a traditional Thai style. The stand-alone villas set amongst tropical gardens with lovely views out to the lush surroundings and ocean. With a range of spacious options available, you can choose between either an oceanfront, beachfront or sea view villa. They're all fitted with lovely king-size beds, beautiful views, balconies, lounge areas and some with private pools and outdoor sala pavilions.

The resort has two restaurants, Lai Thai, which serves gourmet Thai cuisine, and the Beach Restaurant with tasty international dishes and seafood. Both specialise in Southern Thai cuisine.

The Yara Spa has elegant treatment rooms and studios for the ultimate pampering experience.

The Pala Energy Body Massage is one of the spa's unique products and comes highly recommended.
