At a glance
Six Senses Samui sits on a sloping headland on the northern tip of Koh Samui, set among 20 acres of indigenous vegetation with uninterrupted views across the Gulf of Thailand and its outlying islands.
The resort is built entirely of villas, each constructed from teak and bamboo and set into the natural contours of the hillside rather than on cleared ground, so the landscape remains largely intact around the buildings. Every villa is assigned a dedicated Guest Experience Maker, a personal butler who manages restaurant reservations, in-villa dining, and activity bookings throughout the stay.
The resort sits 15 minutes from Samui International Airport and 20 minutes from Chaweng Beach. Fisherman’s Village in Bophut is within walking distance. Six Senses Samui holds a Michelin Key, recognising the consistency and character of its hospitality.
The resort operates a Farm on the Hill where food waste is composted and produce is grown for the kitchens, and runs one of the most comprehensive sustainability programmes of any resort in Thailand.
Highlights
- 67 private villas above the Gulf of Thailand, most with private pools, each with a dedicated GEM butler.
- Four dining venues including Dining on the Rocks with 270-degree Gulf views.
- Six Senses Spa with six treatment villas, a herbal steam cave, and two infinity pools.
Accommodation
View Pool Villas
The 25 View Pool Villas are positioned throughout the resort with views over the Gulf of Thailand. Each has a bedroom on the upper level, a sitting area and dining setting at ground level, a private pool with a terrace and dining patio, an oversized bathtub, double vanities, and an outdoor shower.
Ocean Front Pool Villas
The seven Ocean Front Pool Villas share the same split-level structure as the View Pool Villas but with a position that gives direct ocean views from both the upper-level bedroom and the pool terrace below.
Ocean Front Pool Suite Villas
The Ocean Front Pool Suite Villas sit on the front line of the resort with direct ocean access. Each has a private pool in a private garden and two levels, with a lounge area, a king bedroom with a walk-in closet, and two bathrooms on the upper level.
The lounge area converts to a second bedroom for two children or a third adult. The pool and dining area sit on the lower level.
Ocean Retreat
The Ocean Retreat is the most complete accommodation at the resort, a two-bedroom oceanfront villa with a large private pool, a spacious sundeck, and an unobstructed view across the Gulf of Thailand.

Food & Drink
Dining on the Rocks
Dining on the Rocks sits on the very tip of the headland with 270-degree views of the Gulf of Thailand, serving a farm-to-table menu of sustainably sourced seafood and contemporary dishes, with ten teak-and-bamboo decks for private dinners.
Dining on the Hill
Dining on the Hill serves authentic Thai dishes and fresh barbecued seafood alongside international dishes, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with regular themed evenings and terrace views over the resort and the sea.
Drift at the Beach
Drift at the Beach sits steps from the sand and serves wood-fired dishes and cocktails from a beach bar setting, with overwater daybeds for light bites throughout the day.
Drinks on the Hill
A hillside bar with swinging lounge chairs and views over the Gulf, serving cocktails and light bites throughout the day.
Spa & Wellness
Six Senses Spa has six private treatment villas with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, offering Thai-inspired rituals, four-hand massages, reiki therapy, and a full menu of holistic treatments using natural and eco-friendly products.
A herbal steam cave is carved into the rock below the spa, providing a setting for steam treatments that draws on the natural geology of the headland. Two infinity pools, one at the main resort and one at the beach club, provide the resort’s primary water facilities alongside the private villa pools.
Yoga, Muay Thai, Tai Chi, and Thai Pran classes run daily. An outdoor cinema screens movies under the stars on a weekly schedule. Thai cooking classes operate from the resort’s organic kitchen garden. A 24-hour fitness center runs alongside the spa.
Thailand
Thailand occupies the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, bordered by Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia, with coastlines on both the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. The country divides naturally into four distinct areas: the capital Bangkok; the mountainous north centered on Chiang Mai; the Gulf islands, including Koh Samui and Koh Phangan; and the Andaman coast with Phuket, Krabi, and the Trang archipelago.
Our Experts
Thailand is one of my favorite destinations and I've spent lots of time there. There is no shortage of luxury resorts for you to choose from, each with unique character and charm.
Having visited Thailand over eight times, I keep going back because the food, people, and culture always leave me wanting more. It’s a place that feels like home to me, and I love helping clients experience the magic of Thailand in their own way.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
