"A long sweeping drive takes us to the grand entrance of five-star hotel Melati. There are white columns and green lily pads with lotus flowers blooming. Architecture has the traditional triangular Thai roofs.
Cooling trees and lush vegetation surround one secluded swimming pool. Beachside, the large infinity pool has a stunning view of Thongson Bay beach and Ko Phangnan in the distance beyond the white parasols and aqua sea.
After swimming a few laps of the gorgeous pool, we reward ourselves with a drink at the swim-up bar. How fabulous! There are loungers and four-poster beds around the infinity pool.
Relax, rejuvenate, and restore at Melati's Spa. There's a variety of luxury spa treatments; wraps, scrubs, massages and facials using jasmine – the resort’s signature scent. Dappled light casts a leafy shadow on the floor from outside into the calm sage-green spa area. The spa has a coconut massage for the feet we walk gingerly across.
The Grand Deluxe room has a large bed, a pale pink throw, sofa and a balcony overlooking palm trees.
Frangipani flowers (so perfect they don't lool real) adorn the towels in the bathroom and there's even an outside bath (with curtains for privacy)
The Private Garden pool villa has stylish, spacious interiors, an enormous, comfortable bed, and yep, you’ve guessed it - the ultimate luxury of its own private swimming pool.
The garden contains a Sala and a private plunge pool on the terrace surrounded by tropical gardens with direct access to the bedroom and a sitting area. Ooh, a flash in the outside shower... it’s a yellow-vented bulbul bird perched on top.
Enjoy a hydrating coconut water with natural electrolytes on the white sandy beach. People paddle in the ocean, jet skis zoom on the horizon, leaving white trails in their wake. Activities include kayaking, paddle boarding, yoga, Thai boxing, beach volleyball and football, and lots of fun activities for the kids.
Beachfront restaurant The View is an all-day dining venue with a relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy a hearty breakfast, featuring Eastern and Western specialities and a fresh juice bar with a view of the white sandy beach.
Located just next to Melati Resort’s beautiful waterfalls, Kan Sak Thong is a top-rated Samui restaurant, with authentic flavours of Koh Samui.
At Kan Sak Thong restaurant for dinner of Thai cuisine. The international team of chefs dazzle you with unique Thai-French fusion food dishes. Chef Ken checks that we are happy with the meal, which we most definitely are!
The entertainment amuses us! Thai classical dances and Thai boxing with the shrill sound of what sounds a bit like bagpipes. The ceremony’s phipat music is actually a reed recorder. The smiling makes us smile too. Well, Thailand is the Land of Smiles…
For stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, experience a day trip tour around Koh Samui island, visit the elephant sanctuary, take a boat trip or watch the fire shows. Sail around the surrounding islands, and snorkel to see shoals of brightly coloured fish. Amazing Thailand.
