SALA Samui Resort and Spa
10/9 Moo 5, Baan Plai Lam Bo Phut, Koh Samui Suratthani, Thailand

The serious novelty-seekers have probably moved on from Koh Samui, if not from Thailand entirely, in search of the next great undeveloped tropical paradise. That’s their prerogative, of course, but to give up now is to miss out on places like the Sala Samui, which brings a bit of much-needed upscale peace and quiet to one of Southeast Asia’s most popular destinations.
Private pools go a long way towards alleviating any sense of commotion, and at Sala Samui no fewer than 53 of the villas fit that description — meanwhile the minority that don’t, the so-called Deluxe Balcony rooms, have what’s more aptly described as a veranda, and a spacious one at that. Space is at no shortage here, and the higher-end villas and suites truly sprawl, with pools that are big enough for swimming, not just plunging.
Sala comes complete with a gym, a spa, and a pair of beachfront swimming pools, plus a couple of restaurants, one outside by the beach, and a surprisingly extensive wine cellar. You’re located on the relatively untouched Choeng Mon beach, but it’s by no means remote — just a few minutes away from the bustling Chaweng Beach, if that’s more your speed.
How to get there:
Sala Samui Resort and Spa is a 5 minute drive from the Samui airport, 5 minutes from Bo Phut's quaint Fisherman's Village, and only 10 minutes from Chaweng Beach shopping and nightlife. Please contact customerservice@tablethotels.com to arrange airport transfers.

What I liked:
The villa set-up was excellent, guaranteed privacy and it was well maintained. The SPA services were top notched, they were highly skilled, it was heavenly. We did a cooking course there, offered on private basis, for 2 persons - it was genius! The head chef was amazing! And the food at SALA restaurant was VERY good! We thought it better than the Six Sense's Dining on The Rocks!
What the hotel could do better:
They need to figure out the mosquito situation - for some reason the hotel is infested with them - 24/7. The hotel fumigates 2x a week but they are not doing ti at the right hours hence it didn't help the problem. And nor does the mosquito repellants supplied in the rooms!

What I liked:
Secluded hotel. Beautiful little beach with water-sports, where you do not get harassed to purchase goods, enchanting pool/lounge area. Great staff!
I came down with food poising on the last day and the staff let me check out at 6pm, no extra charge, as we had a late boat ride out to another island.
What the hotel could do better:
There was a real problem with mosquitos!
I tend to be one of those people however who do attract every mosquito in the room. But I think I counted 30 at one time. I had to request a mosquito net to have a sane sleep. Which was a shame because the double doors opened up to the pool.
I thought the bedroom would be a little bigger considering the outdoor space was incredibly large but it was so pretty, I didn't mind.
