Remember those movies where people leave everything behind and travel to that amazing island in the south, with clear blue water, pearly white beaches and misty atolls rising up out of the sea just off shore? Samui actually is that island. With some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, this paradise in the Gulf of Thailand is a premier destination for all those who want to get away from it all, without actually getting away from it all.

No longer the backpacker homestead it once was in the ’70′s and ’80′s, Samui has matured into an island destination for everyone. With amazing 5-star properties like the stunning beach front New Star Beach Resort and the elegant Centara Grand Beach Resort, plus possibly the most beautiful private airport in the world, the new Samui is quickly becoming a world renowned resort destination.

But don’t worry, there are still the famous full moon parties of Koh Phangan nearby and cheaper hotels aplenty if you feel the need to rough it, though nothing about island life seems rough at all.
