Le Méridien holds a “Destination Koh Samui” celebration to showcase their 99th  property in the world and Le Méridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa’s new brand perspective that aims to bring unique and interactive experiences to guests. As the number 09 is considered to be lucky in most Asian countries, especially in Thailand, and as the resort was  constructed in accordance with Feng Shui principles,  being the 99th property provided a “double” auspicious opportunity to celebrate with Le Méridien’s long-standing clientele and high profile personalities of both the business and social communities in Thailand.

Opened September 30, 2011, Le Méridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa is part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts growing footprint in Thailand. The hotel showcases a unique combination of Sino-Thai influence with adherence to Feng Shui principles in its architectural and interior design. Above and beyond catering to guests' corporeal comforts with luxury accommodations and “experience dining”, Le Méridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa strives to impart on them a firm sense of place with programs like “UNLOCK ART” which gives guests preferred access to local cultural sites such as the Guan-Yu Koh Samui Shrine. In addition, culture comes to life every evening when a traditional luck-bringing “Celebration of the Day” ritual is performed, turning the Le Méridien HUB into an ethereal theatre of lights.

“Through our focus on contemporary art, culture and innovative cuisine, Le Méridien Koh Samui brings inspiration to our guests and the local community alike, truly elevating a sense of place for Koh Samui and bringing a new perspective to the island”, comments Ms. Tina Liu, General Manager of Le Méridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa.

More than a honeymoon and couples getaway destination, the hotel is also perfectly suited for adventurous families who want to enjoy the region’s most exotic location from the spacious and meticulously-appointed villas and suites, all with lifestyle conveniences and access to the exciting recreational opportunities that Samui has to offer.  The 50-square-meter Pool Access Suite itself embodies redefined luxury.  Apart from offering direct connection to semi-private pools, Pool Access Suites are also situated in clusters consisting of 06, 07 or 08 rooms. Each cluster has one private swimming pool in the middle so reserving one of the clusters provides a perfect ”home away from home” environment for the whole family or group of friends.  Rooms feature an open terrace and decking arrayed with day beds, an open air bathroom with rain forest shower along with a double bath tub and vanity, complimentary WiFi, a fully-stocked refreshment center and 24-hour Room Service.  The harmonious combination of Thai and Chinese interior decor creates a luxurious, yet comfortable space where guests can fully experience the local culture as they unwind.

Designed for privacy and the ultimate in luxury, the Pavilion Pool and Oceanfront Pool Villas are ideally situated to take advantage of the resort’s best features. Villas start from B9,999+++ including Le Méridien’s Eye Opener breakfast for 02 persons at the resort’s all day signature dining venue, Latest Recipe.
