Samui, Thailand's third largest island, is located in the Gulf of Thailand of the South China Sea, 35 kilometers from the mainland. There are a lot of coconut plantations, unique nature, impenetrable jungles, waterfalls and beaches with white sand.

You can get to the resort in the following ways:

  • Aircraft: duration of flight from Bangkok - 1 hour 10 minutes. The journey time from the airport to the hotel takes about 20-40 minutes, depending on the resort zone in which it is located.
  • Airplane + ferry: in the administrative center of Samui - the town of Nathon there is a pier from which regular ferry communication with the mainland is established.
