Koh Samui
Spa Experience
Massages and spa treatments are justifiably synonymous with Thailand. For something truly unforgettable, sign up for the Bio-Rhythm Restoring Ritual, the perfect jet lag recovery treatment using 100 percent natural, chemical-free products by ila at Four Seasons Spa, designed to rebalance the body’s natural biorhythms and deeply relax the nervous system. This 120-minute treatment begins with a mineral-rich Energy Scrub and Bio-energy Mud Wrap to restore the body’s bio-magnetic energy field through the release of negative ions. A Kundalini Back Massage using warm poultices and chakra-balancing techniques follows to relax and balance the nervous system. The ritual concludes with a gentle rose oil marma point facial massage to stimulate the flow of energy.

Laid-Back Village
Spend a relaxed evening at the fisherman’s village of Bophut, a charming, laid-back spot right on the beach, lined with traditional Chinese wooden shophouses. The perfect place for shopping, evening sundowners and a quiet dinner, Bophut is home to stylish boutiques, beachfront restaurants, friendly bars and some of the island’s best seafood.
Dining In
Memorable dining abounds within the Resort itself. Start at the Beach Bar for a fruity Bontania made with Mekhong, Thailand’s signature whisky. Fresh seafood is featured at the secluded beachside Pla Pla restaurant, where the pad thai noodles with Samui rock lobster is a must, or a special dish of the day prepared by Executive Chef Alex Gares. Lan Tania, located on the top of the Resort, has a Thai and Italian menu plus a spectacular view of the Gulf of Thailand. The signature Thai dish is larb tuna, fresh tuna marinated with Thai herbs, cracked rice and chilli powder.
Grand Tour
To savour all the moods and experiences the country has to offer, visit all four Four Seasons properties in Thailand. Start in the capital city of Bangkok, then head north to mountainous Chiang Mai, Thailand’s artistic heart. Next, drive north to the exotic Four Seasons Golden Triangle, an atmospheric tented “elephant camp” in the bamboo jungle. Finish by chilling out in grand style on the beach at Koh Samui.
This (Koh Samui Four Seasons) is by far the best beach resort I have ever seen, and we tremendously enjoyed our honeymoon here in Oct. of 2007. To put this statement in perspective so you won’t think it was our first beach resort, we have visited beach resorts in the US (Florida, Texas, Virginia, NY, California, Puerto Rico, 2 Virgin Islands and 3 Hawaiian islands,), Mexico (Gulf & Pacific), Aruba, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Trinidad, Australia, Fiji, American Samoa, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, India, China(Sanya), Philippines, Indonesia & Bali, Phuket, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Singapore, Angola, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Monte Carlo, France, Italy, Netherlands and probably a couple of other places I can’t even remember.
