Boutique hotel visionary launches radiant resort experience on Koh Samui’s latest secret beach

Akaryn Samui, the latest venture by Thailand hospitality pioneer Anchalika Kijkanakorn, will redefine the boutique resort experience and lift the veil on Koh Samui’s best kept secret, Hanuman Bay, when it welcomes its first guests in March.

Hanuman Bay, a pristine crescent cove with a 500m powder sand beach, is flanked by dramatic granite outcrops at each end and nestles between the golden bays of Cheong Mon to its north and the bright lights of Chaweng to its south. It is just a 7-minute drive from Samui International Airport yet remains largely undiscovered.

Crafted around a new concept in hospitality, called ‘Intuitive Luxury’, Akaryn Samui offers the island haven’s most radiant new private pool suites and villas and promises a seamless guest experience marked by an unobtrusive yet attentive approach to service.

Akaryn Samui is the fourth property in Kijkanakorn’s Akaryn Hospitality Management Services (AHMS) portfolio. The new resort features 34 stand-alone pool suites, five of them absolute beachfront, each an expansive 80 sqm, as well as eighteen 100 sqm villas with 8m private pools. Akaryn Samui’s design offers a radiant take on tropical modern, Asian-influenced décor and a selection of genuine antiques.

The resort is set to become the hot new ticket for Koh Samui weddings, with its unique private beach setting and romantic ambience
