Bo Phut Resort & Spa – A Peaceful Seaside Haven in Koh Samui

There is nothing better than to experience a welcoming spirit when arriving somewhere, that spirit is in abundance at this peaceful, quaint garden resort on the edge of the sea on the island of Koh Samui.

Bo Phut Resort & Spa is perfectly located, being just a short 15-20 minute drive from the airport. We arrived in the afternoon to a delicious cold drink and refreshing cold towel, check in was efficient and our receptionist guided us to our Deluxe Garden View room which was situated in a secluded spot, fairly close to the pool and the beach. In the room there was a thoughtful welcome note with useful information and a complimentary plush monkey toy for us to take home as a memory of our stay. 

Our room was spacious with a very comfortable 4-poster bed, a couch, coffee table and work station. The bathroom was very large too, with twin basins, a bath and shower, opening out into a little area of garden.

On our first night we enjoyed a romantic dinner at the beachfront restaurant, L’ Ocean, the setting was idyllic, we found ourselves seated at a table by the sea, in perfect peace, looking out with a view over the bay. We shared a starter of satay chicken, pork and prawn skewers, followed by traditional Phad Thai which was all beautifully presented.

The restaurant manager (ever present and always helpful at breakfast service too) assisted us with our dinner choice, he then mentioned that the resort is within walking distance to a night market. The next day we walked just a few minutes along the beach, to Fisherman Village where we found plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and massage venues, on our way back we came across the set up for the night market. Later on we returned to browse and shop at the bustling Fisherman’s Village Night Market. 

Breakfasts were always a fabulous indulgence with a beautifully presented array of items from the buffet. The table service was impeccable with hot and cold beverages also served to order such as coffee, tea, cappuccino, iced coffee or latte.

We spent one of our day’s swimming and relaxing by the beautiful crystal clear pool. During a brief spell of rain, we were invited to go inside for afternoon tea which was such a welcome treat!

When the weather cleared we made our way to relax a while longer at the lovely private beach before heading to our room to get ready for some evening exploring, dinner and shopping.

The highlight of our stay was visiting Bo Phut Spa where we indulged in a Remedial Massage, a combination of Thai, Swedish and deep tissue techniques. The therapists were certainly very skilled and delivered exactly per the description to relieve aches and pains which I personally was much in need of! The tranquility of the setting was relaxing in itself, we enjoyed a welcome drink and chose our favourite oil scent for the massage. Our treatment was followed by a soothing cup of tea, I wished I could have spent the entire day there. 

The resort itself gives an aura of seclusion and privacy, even though it has 61 rooms within the property, the rooms are all tucked away and hidden by the lush garden foliage.

If you are looking for a great place to stay in Koh Samui, look no further because this might just be the perfect spot for you too.
