"The site lies just a bit north of Chaweng, on its own corner of the island — so its beach, truly private, has a bit of that Robinson Crusoe vibe, rare indeed on Koh Samui." Full review
Rough Guide "The design of this luxury hotel was inspired by Chinese merchants’ houses in Thailand in the last century, which gives a pleasing retro feel to the rooms, most of which have outdoor bathrooms."
