Sandalwood Luxury Villas

5. Sandalwood Luxury Villas

TripAdvisor Score: 5 out of 5 stars

Situated high on a cliff that overlooks the surrounding ocean on the island of Koh Samui is a luxurious resort that quite literally, standouts. It’s called the Sandalwood Luxury Villas, and it’s an incredible, five-star boutique resort. The resort offers a premium restaurant, a luxurious spa, and access to a range of different activities. But the real treat here are the accommodations. The Sandalwood Luxury Villas are only comprised of just ten, private villas that overlook the surrounding area. The villas themselves are essentially large vacation homes and they are just completely stacked with luxury amenities. The resort is expensive, exclusive, and is one of the nicest that we have ever seen.

Sri Panwa Phuket

3. Sri Panwa Phuket

TripAdvisor Score: 4.5 out of 5 stars

The island of Phuket is easily one of the most popular vacation destinations in Thailand, and it is here that we find the Sri Panwa Phuket. Located on the southeastern edge of the island and with its own private beach, the Sri Panwa Phuket is definitely one of the most luxurious resorts around. This five-star property has everything you’d expect it to have, from the fine dining restaurant to the premium spa. But like many of the other resorts on our list, the real appeal with this resort are their accommodations. Sri Panwa Phuket is comprised of just 52 private villas in total. They range in size from one-bedroom homes to absurdly large five-bedroom estates. All provide gets with a private pool, luxury amenities, and incredible views of the surrounding area.

Banyan Tree Samui

1. Banyan Tree Samui

TripAdvisor Score: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Finally we have the Banyan Tree Samui, a high-end resort also on Koh Samui. I was pretty sold on this resort after looking at this picture. I mean, just look at this place. It’s like an exotic palace that should only exist in dreams, yet it’s actually real. Located on a cliff above it’s own private beach, the Banyan Tree Samui is a five-star resort that’s reserved for the most discerning of luxury travelers. They offer a luxurious spa, four restaurants, a lounge, a bar, a fitness center, and access to a range of different activities among other things. The accommodations at the Banyan Tree Samui are in the form of 88 private villas that dot the surrounding cliffs. All the villas are absolutely beautiful, they’re stylish, and they offer guests both exceptional views and their own pools. Even if you get the most affordable villa, you will still have your own pool. It’s certainly not cheap nor is it even remotely affordable, but you cannot deny just how exceptional this property is. If you demand the most luxurious vacation in Thailand, this is the resort to stay in.
