Paradee

Located on the white sand beaches of Koh Samet, the Paradee is the newest and by far the most luxurious option on this picture perfect island.  The resort is a charming blend of white-walled villas, thatched roofs, a Mediterranean palette and traditional Thai hospitality.

The resort has 40 villas in total, each one covers an area of 100 square metres.  There are 13 Beachside Villas whose infinity private pools directly overlook the beach itself.   There are also 16 Garden Villas which also have private infinity pools but are set amongst the lush green foliage of the resort's tropical garden.   There are also a selection of villas with no pools or a shared pool.  There is one Paradee Suite Villa which is the most exclusive room type available and features butler service as well as an elevated infinity pool with stunning views.

Rooms are decorated in a colourful, boutique style and make the most of natural light and views looking out across the ocean.   All rooms include LCD television, DVD/CD player, air-conditioning and tea/coffee making facilities.

The resort also has a restaurant, pool bar and sunset bar for cocktails.  The Paradee Spa offers a range of treatments including massage and body scrub as well as steam rooms.

Departing Bangkok by private car and driver, It takes around two hours to reach the pier at Ban Phe.  From here, you will take a ten minute speedboat journey to reach the resort.

This is ideal for those who wish to escape the crowds in Thailand whilst still enjoying the quintessential Thai island experience.
