Undiscovered Islands

Upon arrival, take a transfer to your hotel in Koh Samet. Explore this heavenly island, surrounded by sandy beaches, exotic coral and crystal clear water. Feel the soft, powder-white sand between your toes as you walk along the sweeping beaches and explore the coves, perhaps stopping to paddle in the warm waters. Koh Samet is a great place to try out scuba diving, if you haven’t already, with some easy shallow dives and plenty of fish-filled coral.

Find a tranquil beachside spot in Koh Phangan, as famous for its idyllic beaches as its Full Moon parties. With its wild, rugged centre and sparkling shoreline, this surprisingly laid-back island combines untouched nature with peace and quiet – then adds a splash of fun for good measure. Discover countless secluded bays where sunshine and swimming are the order of the day. Make the most of your hotel’s sumptuous spa, offering a range of relaxing treatments, or, if you’re feeling energetic, trek to the spectacular Nam Tok Than Sadet waterfall, then cool off with a refreshing dip in the plunge pool at its base.

Gorge on fresh seafood in Koh Yao Yai, whose mountainous interior is filled with birdlife and its waters home to a multitude of colourful marine creatures - grab your fins and snorkel and dive in. Perhaps take a tuk-tuk around the island while you are here, keeping an eye out for delightful wooden houses and free-roaming local buffalo. Swim in the warm waves or maybe discover the long history of the Ko Yao islands by exploring their secluded caves, many of which feature ancient paintings dating back 2,000 years.
