Koh Samui, situated in the Eastern coast of Thailand is a honeymooners’ paradise. With turquoise waters, lush vegetation and white sandy beaches, Koh Samui beckons one and all. If you are planning to book tickets to this spectacular island destination for a romantic getaway with your partner, you must try these five things to make your holiday a memorable affair.
Watch the Sunset
Some of the most popular beaches of Koh Samui are situated on the eastern coast, but when it comes to watching the most surreal sunsets, visiting the northern or the western part of the island is advised. One of the most popular spots for a perfect sunset watching experience is the Bang Rak Beach. The beach has various bars where you can enjoy a relaxing drink while watching the sunset with your partner. Taling Ngam’s tranquil bay is also a magnificent sunset watching spot.
Get your Rocks off
If you want to explore the raunchy side of the island, you must head to the famous Hin Ta and Hin Yai (grandfather and grandmother) rock formations. Remember to carry a camera to click some cheeky photos of the rock formations. A local legend goes that an old couple were washed ashore after a shipwreck and created these amusingly shaped rocks.
Dinner on the Beach
The tranquil fisherman’s village in Bophut makes for one of the most romantic dining destinations in the area. The Happy Elephant and other restaurants here let you enjoy a candlelit dinner with your partner on the beach. The menu features a delicious variety of dishes; especially the seafood menu, which offers red and white snappers, king prawns and fresh lobsters. Delicious food with your partner amidst the sound of waves is one experience that you would probably remember for life.
Romantic Boat Cruise
An archipelago of 42 islands, Angthong National Marine Park is perfect for a fascinating and romantic boat trip. A famous Hollywood film starring Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed in these islands. The landscape of the whole beach was redone and some of the parts of the landscaping still remain on the beach. It is also a popular destination for water-sport enthusiasts where you can try out snorkelling and other activities with your beloved.
Couple Massage
Koh Samui apart from its stunning beaches and superb restaurants is also known for its relaxing spas. Many of these spas offer excellent deals for couples’ packages. Pamper your partner and yourself with some of the best massage therapies. You can also opt for a beach side or poolside massage which many resorts and hotels offer. We recommend you to go for a massage after a hectic day of sightseeing.
