Picture this—you’re in your new swimwear, ready to sink into a peaceful soak. But just as your toes hit the water, a kid torpedoes past, and, well…let’s just say the water suddenly changes tone. You know what it was. Suddenly, being in a Jaws movie doesn’t sound bad anymore.

As for activities, guests can access Amanpuri’s gym, infrared sauna, steam room, and cold plunge pool. You can also enjoy water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding.

Tucked in the lush, coconut-tree-covered hillside of Laem Yai Bay, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is a top contender if you’re looking for a place with a private pool. The secluded beach is like a hidden paradise—it’s uncrowded, so you won’t have to worry about photobombers.

Privacy and luxury are big in this resort. Each of the 60 villas has an infinity pool that lets you marvel at the Gulf of Thailand. They even have villas that include a private 24-hour butler to make your stay better.

We also have to highlight the dining options like Koh Thai Kitchen, where you can enjoy a breakfast buffet, and Pla Pla, known for its seafood-centric lunches. Plus, if you book through their website, you might even snag deals that can even cover your breakfast or meals. 

Pro tip:

If you’re into spirits, make time to visit the Rum Vault—it’s sort of like a hidden gem not many guests know about. They host private tastings and pairings with expert mixologists.

The villas also have an open-air roof terrace, which is ideal for secluded sunbathing, evening cocktails, or private dining. Speaking of dining, you can also go to their Chon Thai Restaurant for Thai cuisine or The Story House for some international dishes.

Beyond the standard offerings, we think their private cinema is a nice touch. They also have a library, spa, gym, and even a Muay Thai boxing ring—especially for those who want to do something active and physical.

Soneva Kiri stands out as a sanctuary of barefoot luxury, combining eco-conscious living with comfort and unique experiences. And yes, we were serious about their “no news, no shoes” policy to encourage guests to disconnect and immerse themselves in the natural environment.

We can’t downplay their villas, too—they each have a private pool and can range from one to five bedrooms and blend seamlessly with the island. Also, look out for their Treepod Dining, where guests are hoisted into the rainforest canopy to enjoy gourmet meals.

You’ll also get to enjoy a journey to the resort via a 90-minute private flight from Bangkok to Soneva Kiri’s own airport on Koh Samui, followed by a short boat ride to the island. This exclusive transfer makes sure you have a comfy and chic arrival.
