Set on golden sands, the frangipani-filled gardens are dotted with discreetly positioned villas and adorned with wood panelling and jewel-toned silk upholstery. The 25-year-old resort – owned by the family behind Singha beer – underwent a US$20 million facelift in 2015 with redecorated rooms, a sports centre and a revamped spa with products made entirely from local ingredients. A treatment for sun-sensitive skin involving coconut ice cubes is one to look out for. The resort is just a tuk-tuk ride from jungle waterfalls and bustling markets while guests can also hire boats to go snorkelling, or take advantage of Santiburi’s sister site, a mountainside PGA Asian Tour golf course. Whatever your plans, head to the beach bar at sunset for an expertly mixed cocktail and live jazz – the perfect ending to another day in paradise. santiburisamui.com Words: Lucy Taylor Image: Santiburi Samui
