SAMUI SOJOURN
Elyza Khamil on the three ways to fully experience the Samui way of life at The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui.
FIGHT CLUB Whether it’s discovering the largest, one-of-a-kind specially built swim reef in Southeast Asia or opting for a private lesson to learn the art of Muay Thai from an actual Muay Thai champion, there’s always something exciting happening just around the corner of the The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui. Whatever you’re looking for, the resort will keep you busy come rain or shine.
DINING WITH THE STARS After working up an appetite, reserve a spot at Pak Thai, and dine in your own private alcove that surrounds the swim reef. You can’t go wrong with the green papaya salad, tom yum goong, and green curry to satiate all your Thai cravings. As the sun sets, head to the highest peak of the resort for a private dazzling moonlit dining experience. Talk about being on top of the world!
PICTURE PERFECT End the day by taking in the serene oasis of the renowned Spa Village with its own infinity pool encircled by open-air pavilions. Pamper yourself with the signature Samui’s Coconut Heritage treatment, a great hydrating reprieve after a day in the sun, or simply unwind while sipping on refreshing cocktails and watch the sun go down at One Rai lounge. With personalised experiences at the 58-acre oceanfront resort, it’s easy to create your own #RCMemories. www.ritzcarlton. com/en/hotels/koh-samui
