Imagine stepping off the plane onto the tarmac of Koh Samui's tropical boutique airport. Here, the open-air design invites the gentle warm ocean breeze to envelop you in a welcoming embrace from the moment you arrive. As you make your way through the terminal, a gracious chauffeur from Napasai, a Belmond Hotel, awaits your arrival, bearing a delicately scented cold towel infused with floral notes to invigorate your senses. I can still remember the sweet scent, and on a hot Texas day, I yearn to be handed one.
As you settle into the plush comfort of the Napasai's luxury SUV, you'll discover a delightful surprise nestled in the cupholders: refreshing cold fruit drinks and delectable Thai snacks, a tantalizing preview of the culinary delights that await you. The scenic 30-minute drive to the resort takes you through fishing villages, towns, and into the hotel's vast grounds where water buffalo, exotic flora, and enchanting gardens await you.
Upon arrival at the resort, you're greeted by a warm welcome of fresh floral garlands and homemade coconut ice cream, a refreshing treat to savor as you embark on your check-in experience. Your villa, mere steps from the pristine white sands, exudes an aura of opulence and tranquility, providing the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation.
