W Retreat, Samui

The W Retreat is a global hotel chain, specialising in world class service. They bring a resort to the beautiful Ko Samui, in the Gulf of Thailand, to give guests a sense of just why this region is one of the most desirable travel destinations in the world.

You begin to understand the level of luxury available at the resort when you see that, alongside the usual flat screen TV and comfy furniture, a private pool is listed amongst the standard room amenities.

Staying in at the resort is a tempting option, with 8 venues for trendy eating and drinking on site. A relaxing time can also be had at the spa, while activities based on or under the sea can begin at the resort's very own aquatic centre. Diving and deep-sea fishing in the Gulf are acclaimed.

For those looking for a more raucous nightlife, few tropical luxury resorts are better situated. On Samui itself there are a number of bars going on late into the night, and there is always the world famous party island of Ko Pha Ngan a short trip across the water for the most hedonistic of guests. The nearby island of Ko Tao can also offer a good night out, less frenetic than Pha Ngan.
