Santiburi Koh Samui

Santiburi Hotel is on top of my list from my recent holiday travels. It is absolutely exceptional, the atmosphere inside, the location, the food at the breakfast buffet. The property itself is outstanding, located at the sea, in one huge tropical park. Every inch of it is taken care of, the beauty of this place makes me smile every time I think of it. In the near you can find plenty of small restaurants, food markets and shops. I have to mention the SPA that is absolutely special. I have taken the whole package and was treated with several massages, all of them done in utmost professional way. All Therapists and Front Desk Ladies (inklusive the Interns) were not only well skilled, but very friendly. You could see that they love working there and that they are there for the Customers. I give this place highest rating.

We have never experienced such a relaxing vacation in our lives! The atmosphere here feels like paradise – peaceful, beautiful, and absolutely perfect. The spa experience was truly amazing, offering the perfect touch of relaxation and luxury. We also had an issue with the air conditioning, but the staff handled it with incredible professionalism, upgrading our accommodation to one far beyond our expectations and possibilities. The staff are truly the best in the world – kind, attentive, and always going above and beyond. The overall experience was exceptional, and we look forward to returning!

The beach was amazing with possibility for long walks. Not all hotels in Koh Samui have such a nice beach - great sand and great for swimming and kids friendly. As one of the first luxury hotels on the island, the hotel is situated in one of the best parts of Koh Samui - incredible garden and beach. The beachfront villa was amazing and just next to the beach. It is the more expensive option, but I highly recommend it. The food at the beachfront restaurant was also excellent and there is a nice selection of fresh fish for lunch, but you can also reserve a fish for dinner. It is amazingly delicious, prepared whole, steamed using Thai herbs like ginger & lemongrass. The free ice-cream every day was much appreciated by our daughter. The hotel is also not far away from the Fisherman's village (nice restaurants and bars, marketplace every Friday evening) and not that far away from the Buddhist temples Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai) & Wat Plai Laem. You can order a taxi by Grab mobile app (similar to Uber) or a hotel car (a little bit more expensive). I highly recommend this hotel to both couples and families.

Absolutely marvellous, peaceful and luxurious. Staying at Santiburi Koh Samui was the highlight of our weeks in Asia, when it comes to hotels. You start to relax the moment you see the facilities, everything is kept up to high standards, everything is spacious and the location is supreme. You're close to the beach and there's a main street not far away, which is a different universe. But you're on vacation, you deserve a break. This contrasts to other options on the East of the island, busier, perhaps fancier but for me nothing but concrete jungles. The beach is narrow but more than sufficient and supremely taken care of by the vast and attentive staff. The staff is another highlight here, you're never waiting long for anything, they're kind and knowledgeable. You also get a client relations person. The facilities are incredible, from a huge shallow pool to massages, restaurants and kids care. As we went off-season, it was luckily quiet. The breakfast is a feast and has everything you can imagine, from Thai specialities to French pastry, also fantastic fresh fruit and juices. The Wi-Fi is faster than most residences in Europe, in excess of 200 mbps, even in a sunbed. There are complimentary items like afternoon tea and ice cream hour. An absolute masterpiece and I look forward to go back!

Our 5-day family vacation at Santiburi Koh Samui in December was an unforgettable experience. The resort's lush, green surroundings provided a serene escape, with tropical gardens and mature trees creating a peaceful atmosphere. The beach was simply beautiful—pristine, with soft sand and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming. The highlight, however, was the excellent service. Every member of the staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable, offering personalized attention that made us feel truly special. It was a perfect blend of nature, luxury, and hospitality. Highly recommend!
