New luxury hotel set for Koh Samui

People who have booked flights to Thailand might be tempted by the latest luxury offering from Banyan Tree.

Anyone who is preparing to jet off on flights to Thailand could be heading to the south-east Asian country in search of relaxation.

Travellers seeking the ultimate luxury experience may want to head to the east coast island of Koh Samui later this year when the new Banyan Tree resort opens.

According to Luxury Travel Magazine, the new resort offers “the best elements of a tropical getaway”.

Last month, the company revealed that its latest project – and third in Thailand – will feature the first hydrotherapy spa on Koh Samui.

Many of the villas in the development will also have their own private pools for guests to enjoy, the publication revealed.

Located on the west coast, the first Banyan Tree resort in Thailand opened in Phuket in 1994.

The complex now boasts five restaurants, each offering different styles of cuisine to tempt the taste buds, as well as providing guests with the chance to take an intimate dinner cruise through Phuket’s lagoons in a traditional long-tail boat.
