Six Senses Samui

Koh Samui, Thailand

Star rating

The hotel

When you arrive at the Six Senses Samui the view is at once exhilarating and strangely familiar. The sweeping vista of palm-clustered islands and shimmering seas brings to mind all the fantasies we have of the Orient's beaches. The resort is made up of a stunning collection of bamboo-clad villas looking out over the Gulf of Thailand. At Six Senses there are only villas, most with a private swimming pool with polished wooden floor interiors. The dining options are particularly special, from dining on the rocks to drinks on the hill. The view, the architecture, the style and even the temperature intentionally immerse the guest in the location. This is back to nature – without a hint of roughing it. Six Senses Samui gives you everything, including a comprehensive spa that offers every conceivable treatment in Asia.

An amazing experience all the way around , we didn’t want to leave . When researching a relaxing place to stay in Koh Samui to chill out after a long trip my key words were luxury , authentic and wellness . Six Senses was a new brand for us and completely exceeded our expectations. The resort is in a good location with its own beach and views of the ocean from all points. The rooms are a “luxury jungle “ vibe featuring cool outdoor showers and beautiful decor . Every space is lovely and the grounds are lush and tropical . What sets this place apart is the high level of service and hospitality from every team member. Shout out to our incredible host Noom who made every aspect of our stay memorable. Thanks to the Six Senses app and WhatsApp connection to your host , every need was handled promptly and professionally. We were delighted with different daily surprises such as cocktail parties, ice cream socials and activities to choose from We absolutely loved the food offerings , especially the breakfasts which were heavenly ! Great wine and beverage selection was appreciated. Our only regret was not staying longer . We will definitely be back highly recommend for travelers looking for an experience that feels relaxing and authentic with a high level of service . socials Read less

This was very disappointing from the start, we were paying about 55,000thb per night and were told pick up from the pier was not included and only after I protested they accommodated us, we are currently staying in villa 56 which is one of the best but sadly it is showing its age with the lack of maintenance bamboo walls covered in Mould wooden tables and flooring that needs re staining tiles in the pool heavily stained, this property is 21 years old and would have been fabulous when first built but at the price I am paying I expected better, on a positive note the staff are fabulous Read less

The location is probably one of the biggest highlights of this Six Senses. Stunning views. We stayed several nights in a pool villa overlooking the sea and the beach. First of all, many thanks to the entire Six Senses team for the excellent service, and especially to POM, who did everything possible to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The villas are beautifully decorated and authentic, although things such as the air conditioning and sanitary facilities could use an update. Toilets and shower are from the 80ties. The swimming pools are very beautiful, with plenty of sun beds available. The beach is not very large but quite lovely. Personally, we didn’t find the sun beds particularly comfortable, and they might also be due for renewal. The quality of the food is outstanding. It’s a pity that the pool bar menu mainly features Mexican-inspired dishes or pizzas, without any Thai options. Thailand has one of the best cuisines in the world, so that was a bit disappointing. The breakfast is good, although we personally felt the selection could be more extensive. There was little to no choice of bread, and the selection of Western toppings was limited. Not a major issue in itself, but given the nightly rate of this resort, we expected a bit more. Perhaps one final small remark: the resort is somewhat remote and lacks a bit of atmosphere in the evenings. In summary: a wonderful and unique place with very good service. Thanks again to the entire team! Read less

I completely agree with the last review and share the same comments. It is a beautiful hotel, with this luxury rustic feeling and an exceptional service. The swimming pool area/view is unbeatable, amazing! yes the beach is small, but we never had any issue in getting a spot. Yes the sea gets dirty, but they are making sure that there is always someone cleaning it. I highly recommend it and I am going back there at the end of 2026. Read less
