Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
Hillside villas with Gulf views
Four properties across the Gulf islands — two on Koh Samui, one on Koh Phangan, one on Koh Tao — on the opposite coast from Khao Lak, on a different monsoon.
These islands sit in the Gulf of Thailand, not the Andaman Sea, which matters more than the distance: the Gulf’s wet season runs later, from roughly October to December, so when Khao Lak’s marine parks are shut the Gulf is often at its best. Samui has the airport and the resorts, Koh Phangan is quieter, and Koh Tao is the diving island.
This listing spans all three islands, not Samui alone. Rates are indicative; availability and booking are on the partner’s own site.
