If you are searching for that beautiful boutique just a short drive (and a quick boat ride) from Bangkok, then Ao Prao is your match made in tropical beachy heaven. Located on the quieter west coast of Koh Samed this four-star hidden gem is nestled on powdery white sands surrounded by lush green jungle. The suites and villas are scattered around the gorgeous gardens, all offering beautiful decor, light airy interiors and fresh tropical fruits to keep your stay relaxed and refreshing. From the Classic Hillside rooms to the Deluxe Cottages, or large Seaview Suites, there is a wonderful choice for guests travelling solo, as a couple or in a larger group. The sister resort, Le Vimarn is just a short stroll down the beach and offers additional dining options, a gym and a wellness centre. The weekly fire shows are also well worth a watch.

A firm favourite with families looking for fun in the sun – the snorkelling is great here and you can enjoy extra benefits such as pizza delivery services, baby cots, doctor on call and even a bookable babysitting service. The hotel is also an ideal base for exploring the rest of this paradise island. Ao Prao Resort is always striving to offer the very best service and experience and gets top marks from our clients.
