You’ve probably heard of Koh Samui. Over the years, it has attracted travellers from far and wide, many of whom return time and time again - and if we had to guess why, we’d say it was the sheer variety. Samui is all about diversity and all coasts and corners provide something different, be it desert-island remoteness (south), upmarket vibes (north) or something a tad livelier (east). The hotels are similarly varied, but to remain glued to your lounger, although tempting, would be a travesty. How about a day trip to the island-speckled Ang Thong Marine Park, inspiration for Alex Garland’s The Beach, or chartering a yacht and discovering your very own movie-set? If you feel like mingling, try some restaurant-hopping around the fragrant food stalls and top-class eateries, then work off the calories with a jungle trek and a swim in the Na Muang waterfall. And if all else fails, how about pampering yourself to another level of serenity in one of the renowned spas?
