The hotel is located 20 minutes away from the seaside resort and the shops of Chaweng and 30 minutes away from Nathon. The airport is 15 minutes away.
The rooms are very well arranged and are very charming. They are all different and have red or orange tones and natural wood, very warm and benefit from impeccable comfort. The open bathrooms overlook the outside with lime walls... Also well equipped, they have last generation satellite TV, WiFi, a DVD player, a full mini-bar, a safe.
The 28 colourful bungalows of the hotel are distributed in a very beautiful garden with luxurious vegetation on the small paths. At the centre, the reception, the restaurant, the small pool and the pool bar form a small friendly setting in front of the beach, which we can reach by descending a few steps. The bungalows are painted with lustrous colours forming a very agreeable and intimate setting in the middle of this vegetation. The bungalows on the beach benefit from a beautiful panorama and hand made hammocks between two palm trees. Among the 28 bungalows, the hotel distinguishes different types of rooms: views of the sea, deluxe, garden, villa, garden and standard rooms.

The beach is narrow. During high tide the soft sand disappears almost completely allowing for the possibility to swim right from the steps. Here the water is clean and calm is constant.
The boutique of the Zazen Bungalows is worth the detour. Very beautiful items and massage oils are offered.

A quiet and friendly holiday spot bordering the beautiful beach of Maenam to the north of Koh Samui, with a high level hotel service and an important bonus: an abundance of water activities.
Open since 2001, the Impiana is a nice small hotel but is highly lacking in facilities as it has 98 rooms available. The hotel is located on the shores of Chaweng Noi Beach. You will need to travel for two miles to reach the centre of Chaweng. The hotel is comfortable and constructed parallel to the beach.
Open from 1st February 2007, the Four Seasons Koh Samui is worth the reputation of the hotel chain with the same name. Isolated on the top of a hill, the establishment is far from civilisation. The setting is splendid and the impressive view is on the Gulf of Thailand. Delicacy and elegance are the keywords of the place. To taste with delight!
Entirely away from the crowd, on the west coast of Samui, the Royal Meridien Baan Taling Ngam is a very exclusive place in a magnificent environment. As costly as it is charming.

The sign at the entrance sets the tone, with the following written in black and white: "Member of the Design Hotels". This statement would hardly be noticed in Berlin or in the trendy districts of London, but when you read this sign wearing flip-flops, with a gaudy shoulder bag, right in the heart of touristic Thailand between Chaweng Beach and Koh Samui, it takes on a whole new dimension. Why? First, because design is very uncommon in this region that is distinguished by its Oriental Zen style, at least in the hotels. Second, because those who feel comfortable surrounded by clean lines, solid colours, and a full complement of modern technology, will have found the establishment of their dreams here. In addition, this hotel has a number of surprises. Here's a clue: red.
Quite isolated from the crowds of the northeastern coast of Samui, the Imperial Boat House displays the complete recent renovation of its set of amenities, as well as perfect originality: it offers the possibility to live in a ship, a real one.
