Opulent is a word not often used to describe a holiday travel experience, but in the case of the Q Signature Samui it fits perfectly. This resort makes you feel like the riches of the world have been bestowed upon you.
Here on Koh Samui Island, 450 miles south of Bangkok, your villa will have its own private pool and sun deck, providing a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Thailand. Your king-size bed promises a restful sleep, and you will appreciate the convenience of a personal Jacuzzi, living room with DVD/CD player, kitchenette with microwave, and separate dining section so close at hand.
It may be hard to leave such lavish accommodations, even for a moment, but you will be enticed to spend a couple of hours at the Q Signature Samui Spa. Relax and receive a Thai massage, as flute music plays in the background and aromatic citrus and eucalyptus fills the air. It may feel as if you are floating on the gentle offshore breezes that pass through the open-air pavilion.
Away from the resort, Koh Samui offers plenty of travel-related distractions, from elephant trekking through groves of cashew trees and coconut plantations to speedboat tours. You will find a butterfly garden, a marine park and a monkey show nearby, too. And be sure to stop by the massive Big Buddha Temple while you are out; it is one of the most revered religious sites in the country.
After you return to the Q Signature Samui, have a drink and unwind at the Royal Pool Bar or on the Aow Thai Cocktail Terrace. You may wish to float for a while in the infinity pool, or just recline on a cushioned lounge chair and watch the clouds pass by. Guests are encouraged to treat lazing around as an artful indulgence here.
When it comes time for dinner, your first choice will be the resort’s elegant Royal Siam Restaurant, overlooking Cheongmon Beach. The menu features American and European culinary selections, in addition to a full range of traditional Thai cuisine. Share dishes with companions to savor the chef’s breadth of spicy, sweet and savory delights.
For lighter fare, the beachside New Restaurant Mediterranean Restaurant serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner. It also has a popular hangout, the Beach Bar, where you can work on your tan while sipping a tropical drink.
Nightlife in Koh Samui is as rich with pleasures as your imagination will allow. Clubs, cabarets, bars, dance halls and beach parties will ensure that you enjoy every minute of your evening out. Stay out till the wee hours of the morning if you like. Sleep in late the next day. Now, you are beginning to slip out of travel mode and into the languorous pace of Koh Samui life.
