The Kala Samui

Located on a steep hill overlooking the Chaweng Noi Beach and Gulf of Siam Koh Samui, The Kala Samui is a modern, tropical getaway with avant garde touches and artwork. The resort is spread out over the declining rock face, ensuring a spectacular view from all points of the establishment. Kala means coconut shell in Thai, and the philosophy of the resort is that it has grown up almost organically and flourished in the same way that the abundant coconut trees here do. The place is unbelievably verdant and vibrant with foliage, flowers and life, all nestled amidst the natural rock formations which were respected in the building. The atmosphere at this place is one where time stands still, where you have the time to focus on the small things, the sea breeze, the sound of waves, the shades of light thrown by palm fronds. Decoration is modern tropical chic, with furniture and decorations that, lit up by night, transform the multilevel residences into a mysterious night-time wonderland.

The deluxe rooms that make up The Kala Resort are decorated in teak woods and natural fabrics in neutral and classic colours. The resort boasts a very comprehensive array of amenities including the ‘Agarin’ day spa, a place to complete the relaxation you will find here. Amongst the fantastic natural surrounds you can enjoy some of their signature treatments like floral and sea salt baths and massages and private yoga classes. There is an infinity pool made from imported Balinese stone, looking out over the bay, joining water and sky seamlessly. Dining is healthy and delicious, at ‘The 26th Degree’, serving contemporary fusion cuisine, and at ‘The rabbit’ bar (named after the year of the rabbit, meaning prosperity) is a serene and comfortable pace to relax and drink up the view as well as a few cocktails.

The island of Koi Samui is a verdant, lush paradise. From the cradle of The Kala Resort you can go exploring the beaches and sights of this famous island. The hotel can arrange private tours like fishing expeditions.
