W Koh Samui Review: A Romantic Island of Love and Luxury

How To Get Here

W Koh Samui is only 25 minutes from the main pier or 10 minutes from the airport where your private car will pick you up.

The first island we visited during our trip to Thailand was Koh Samui, where we stayed in our jungle pool villa only a few steps from their private beach.

Which is located only 15 mins drive from the airport.What I love about this property is their central location – only 10 mins drive from the main temples in the island Wat Plai Laem and Big Buddha and only a few steps from their private beach where you can go swimming, relax or even go kayaking or snorkeling.

The hotel is relatively new with a fresh and modern style that welcomes local and international journalists, celebrities and travelers from around the world.The hotel offers 7 different room types ( 74 rooms in total)

Out Villa– Jungle Oasis

This is the name of the pool villa we stayed in. Other ones you will find here are Tropical Oasis, Ocean View Escape Room, Ocean Front Heaven beach front, Wow Jungle Oasis, Wow Ocean Heaven beach front and Seascape Escape, all with private pools.

Did you know you can find free ice cream all around the hotel? How amazing is that.

We also need to mention the incredible restaurant and bar that W Koh Samui has to offer.

W Koh Samui Restaurant

The main restaurant in the hotel is called The Kitchen Table, a beautiful restaurant with a limitless sea view, the relaxed lounge-style setting with high-back sofas and booths is enlivened by talented chefs who steal the scene working their culinary magic in an open kitchen.

Breakfast

Every morning breakfast is served at The Kitchen Table restaurant, it’s a open buffet style with different food styles, from fresh fruits, juices and ginger shots to traditional cuisine.

As part of our W Koh Samui Review, we have to admit we were very surprised by how many vegan options they had here!

We need to say we’ve stayed at many different luxury hotels, and W Koh Samui was the most impressive and vegan friendly we have ever seen.

They offer many options to choose from, including lots of gluten free treats and vegan delicious meals! They even had a vegan omelette which was excellent. Just ask for it and they will help you.

After breakfast we head to the main pool to take some photographs and enjoy the view! We love infinity pools! We had such a great time looking to the palms and the ocean.On our first day we were thinking to grab the free shuttle to Koh Samui’s main beach, but we decided to stay at their beach and get a pair of kayaks!

Activities

The sea that day was calmed and perfect to go kayaking, as we spotted a little beach bar on the other beach, we decided to go there to grab a bite!

It was the first time we went kayaking to a restaurant and it was amazing, we parked the kayak by the restaurant and enjoyed our time there!

We went back after lunch and spent some time at W Beach, taking some photos around and in their swings! Who doesn’t love a swing?

Even if W Samui is always fully booked, when you are at the beach it feels you are alone and don’t to hurry to grab a bed chair, like at other resorts, which we really enjoyed as we prefer places that don’t get too busy.

For dinner we went back to the restaurant to celebrate our month anniversary under the stars looking to the ocean, it could not have been more romantic! It was really good, if you go remember to try their jackfruit curry as it was incredibly delicious.

WOO Bar

After dinner we went to WOO Bar to join the party upstairs and had some cocktails with Hanny, she is the Director of Marketing at W Hotel Samui, she looked after us during our stay and I believe we made a new friendship!

The next morning it was our last day at W Samui before we went to Koh Tao and decided to get up early to watch sunrise from the beach and do some meditation.

After our early morning we went for breakfast and as it was our last moment here we wanted to spend some time in our private pool in our villa with a pair of coconuts we brought from the restaurant

Our Room

We stayed at the Jungle Oasis Private Pool Villa for 2 days. Our room had warm red tones and it was very modern and tropical.

The main room had two areas, a living room with a 46″ LCD, bean bag chair and our room with a king size bed, so comfortable you will never want to leave the bed! wifi

One of my favorite part was opening the sliding doors to see our own private pool, two lounge chairs and a dining table with our little garden!

Another impressive area of our villa was the bathroom, it was large and included an indoor shower as well as an outdoor rainforest stone shower. You will also find complimentary beach essentials, such as flip flips, a beach bag, sunscreen and water.

If you come to Koh Samui, W Hotels is the place for you, you will not be disappointed.

As our final review for W Koh Samui, we think it is a romantic island of love and a mix of luxury.

We loved our room and how many vegan options they had at the restaurants.

Another part we loved was our experience with the kayaks.

We will come back for sure.
