The resort sits on a 300 metre sweep of sand on Hanuman Bay on Koh Samui’s north east coast. Granite headlands frame the bay, and palms line the shore, so the scene feels sheltered and natural. You land at Samui Airport and reach the bay in around ten minutes by car, away from the flight path. Chaweng and Fisherman’s Village sit close enough for nights out, markets and harbour walks.

Suites and villas all come with private pools, outdoor space and large windows that frame the bay. Tropical Pool Villas feel snug and green with palms close to the terrace. Beachfront Pool Villas sit steps from the sand for a strong sense of place. As a group, you pick a Two Bedroom Pool Villa and share long talks around the pool.

Days drift around the water at SAii Koh Samui Villas. You swim from the beach to the reef that lies about two hundred metres offshore, mask on and fish all around. Kayaks wait on the sand for slow trips along the bay. Back on land, you move from yoga sessions to batik painting and leave with a piece you made. Lèn Be Well Spa rounds things off with treatments that match your mood.

Life at SAii Koh Samui Villas centres on the shoreline pool and the curve of sand. You stretch out on daybeds or sit at the Swim Up Singha Splash Pool Bar with music in the background. Bean Co serves coffee and treats between swims. When you want a reset, you walk to Len Spa, choose a mood and follow a simple path of treatments.

Food at SAii Koh Samui Villas carries a local mood with a touch of fun. Terra and Mar serve plates built around seafood, grills and bright salads with sea views. Through the Virtual Kitchen concept, you can order favourites from Miss Olive Oyl, Jiao Wu and Mr Tomyam. Bean Co covers coffee, fresh juice and sweet things from morning until late.

Moments worth marking feel natural at SAii Koh Samui Villas. You walk along a petal path on the sand to meet your partner with Hanuman Bay behind. A small group of family and friends watches from the shore. After the vows, you share a meal at Terra and Mar or arrange a private dinner on the beach. Music, lanterns and warm air carry the night along.
