Six Senses Hideaway, Koh Samui On a gently sloping headland on the northern tip of Samui Island, Six Senses Hideaway cleverly blends into 20-acres of indigenous vegetation while framing amazing panoramas to the Gulf of Siam and outlying islands. With just 66 contemporary villas capturing views at every turn, a spirit of space and seclusion has been created. Most of the villas have private infinity-edged swimming pools that melt into the horizon creating peaceful isolation despite the resort’s facilities being close at hand and augmented by extraordinary personal butlers who can be called upon for all things. A Thai wedding ceremony officiated by Buddhist Monks is phenomenally beautiful with its many rituals and blessings.

A Thai or western service can be arranged by Hideaway event specialists. Six Senses Hideaway Samui has the reputation for serving some of the best food on Koh Samui and uses the freshest herbs, vegetables, and organic greens from the resort’s own gardens. Choose to explore by boat or traverse Samui by foot, elephant, motorcycle or car, there’s a wealth of natural beauty and cosmopolitan luxury to discover. While the most visited areas have roads lined with shops and businesses, much of the island remains covered with coconut groves, rice paddies and forest.
