What to do at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui

Few Thai beach resorts offer quite the level of luxury as the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. There’s of course the beach – the Gulf of Thailand is home to some of the most beautifully blue waters on the planet, and you’ll enjoy great views from the room. The resort offers a range of dining options, including its famed PlaPla restaurant and CoCoRum cocktail bar. You can find everything from authentic Thai cuisine to international dishes, typically with stunning coastal views – and sometimes with seafood from that sea. The resort also features an award-winning spa, The Secret Garden Spa. The special is the traditional Thai massage, though there are the usual assortment of body scrubs and facials on offer.

The resort provides a fitness center, tennis courts, and rental equipment for water sports like kayaking and snorkeling. Guests also have access to dedicated butlers who can assist with anything from making reservations to arranging excursions. Essentially, the resort aims to provide a luxurious and personalized experience for all its guests – though hopefully your experience will be less conniving than what the guests at The White Lotus experienced.

Is it worth it to stay at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui?

Whether or not that four-figure price tag is worth it is the ultimate question. Really, it comes down to two things: First, can you afford it without tanking your savings plans or other financial goals, and second, how much of a set-jetter do you consider yourself to be?

If that resort is a bit out of your price range, try other fine resorts on Thailand that could have been played host for The White Lotus.

If you confidently answered yes to both, your best bet is to book now before prices skyrocket. It’s unlikely that prices will come back down until well after season 3 concludes, and given the popularity of the show’s first two seasons, it could be awhile even after that. Plus, you’ll get the excitement of heading there during the height of the resort’s fame, so you can expect to partake in show-themed specials and events, alongside your own self-guided voyage to see your favorite shots from the show. If you’re really on top of it, you could even watch an episode debut from your room inside the hotel – and if you can pull that off it’d be hard for anyone to usurp your superfan status.
