"Accessible only by private speedboat from Ko Samui, this quieter paradise on Thong Nai Pan Noi tucks villas behind coconut palms with plunge pools, garden terraces and ocean-facing decks—some with direct beach access—and balances an elegant yet down-to-earth aesthetic of native wood, vaulted ceilings and deep red accents. Days here unfold with sunrise yoga on the beach, Thai massages in outdoor spa salas, cocktails at the swim-up bar and teppanyaki dinners at Yukinoya; with breathtaking views, personalized service and a rhythm set entirely by nature, it feels cinematic, serene and perfect for retreat and restoration." - The MICHELIN Guide
