Paradee Resort

Ko Samet


Exclusive and offering the ultimate in privacy, this sleek resort near Ko Samet's southern end is one of the island's most luxurious. Golf carts hum about among discreetly screened thatched villas, most of which have their own Jacuzzi. The lovely beach is effectively private and, across the road, a bar deck lets you appreciate the sunset views from the island's western shore.

Facilities include a large pool, a gym with views and a spa. Staff is very helpful and extras include a bottle of wine in the room and a welcome drink. Speedboat transfer is included in the price, which drops substantially outside the mid-December–mid-January peak season.
