Banburee Wellness Resort & Spa, Hua Thanon

Banburee Wellness Resort & Spa, Hua Thanon

The Banburee Wellness Resort & Spa, Hua Thanon is rather different to other hotels and resorts on the island. Here you can focus on integrated medical approaches to provide guests long term well-being, and treat conditions unresponsive to conventional care.  

The Banburee Wellness Resort & Spa, Hua Thanon's mission is to nurture the well being of individuals by providing accessible, quality health and continuum care for our guests. we strive to give the best health education to our associates and inspire them to walk wellness - in which they are empowered to take responsibilities for their own health. 

This does however not mean hat you can't stay as a normal, healthy guest! You will be more than welcome. The Resort is already a bit older, so don't expect a modern, new building.

This is all being offered in a rather relaxing environment. The resort is located at a very quiet part of the island with not much else around, be prepared.

Kamalaya resort, Hua Thanon

Kamalaya resort, Hua Thanon

It's full name is Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa Resort and is centred around a monk's cave that once served Buddhist monks as a place of meditation and spiritual retreat, Kamalaya's essence is expressed in its name, 'Lotus (kamal) Realm (alaya)', an ancient symbol for the growth and unfolding of the human spirit.

The accommodations include cozy hillside rooms, open suites, and spacious villas overlooking the coastline of southern Koh Samui. Buildings rest amidst ancient, granite boulders, streams, and tropical vegetation making the retreat at one with nature. Come here for what was once called “the cure” and the wellness and holistic therapies cover detox, yoga, Tai Chi, ayurvedic therapy and dozens more. The meals are fabulous, this is not spa cuisine unless you want it, the healthy food includes meat and wine too.

Well hidden away with hardly any outside distraction at all at a very quiet corner of the island, it's a haven for retreat and working on your wellness. Prices are at the medium to higher end range but well worth the investment.

Samui Orchid Resort, Hua Thanon

Samui Orchid Resort, Hua Thanon

Located on 25 acres of coconut plantation, this resort is spacious. It's also located in a very quiet corner of Samui, down in the south eastern corner of the island. It has however two unique attractions, a zoo (with Bengal tigers) and an aquarium with lots of tropical fish. They can be visited at half price. There's also a free shuttle into Lamai. There's no free wifi though, only paid internet in the reception area, something they should really work on.

The resort is right on the beach and consists of bungalows and low-rise modern Thai styled buildings and there are 3 swimming pools.

Looking for seclusion and a truly peaceful and relaxing holiday The Samui Orchid resort is the place to be!

Centara Villa Samui, Hua Thanon

Centara Villa Samui, Hua Thanon

One of the places that I've visited various times through my work and I used one of their pools to teach diving.

The hotel is beautifully located in the unexplored Southern part of Samui, on Natien beach, south of Lamai and near Hua Thanon. The Butterfly Garden is opposite the resort and the Aquarium is a couple of stone throws away.

The resort is build on a hill, so be prepared to walk a bit and use stairs in order to get around . They have two pools, the larger one over looking the ocean and the beach and is in a nice small bay; Na Khai Bay.

One thing to keep in mind is that Centara Villas Samui is in a quiet but remote location, if you're looking for exactly that, this may be the right place for you since they have 2 restaurants and 2 bars on the premises for your convenience. Knowing Centara's standard, it will be good but during the evening and night time there's not much going on. Lamai will be the nearest place with some action and activities.

Looking for a nice and quiet location, look into staying here from good Garden View Villas to Pool or Spa Villas with your pool, there's something for every budget.

X2 Resort, Hua Thanon

X2 Resort, Hua Thanon

You like contemporary, a peaceful, quiet and relaxing atmosphere, X2 (pronounced Cross To) on Hua Thanon beach is your answer.

The resort has opened it's doors about a year and a half ago and is build on 12 rai of land (5 acres) and hosts 27 villas. The general area is underdeveloped and makes for a peaceful surrounding of the resort and makes for an unbelievable sense of space.

It's a beautiful designed concept with eye for nature and detail. The picture above shows the reception area. The overall philosophy is to leave the guests as much undisturbed as possible and staff is almost invisible unless you need or want them.

Part of the reception area where the great combination of concrete and wood comes out nicely.

The walk way from the reception to the beach and the 4K restaurant (pronounced fork) with all the villas on each side of you.

Rooms are available as bungalow, pool villa, suite pool villa and owners' villa, all of which offer state of the art luxuries including satellite LCD Apple TV (loaded with plenty of movies and music), mini bar and internet access.

The walls that hide the villas from view are designed in such a way that no trees had to be cut but rather the walls were adjusted to allow the trees to grow.

A view over the currently deepest swimming pool on Koh Samui with 3 meters at the deep end. The pool is big and fits in to the overall design of the resort. The cubic hosts a couple of lounge like areas where it's great to just relax or read a book.

The pool is almost directly located at the beach and one of the nice things about this beach is that there are no jet ski's and no beach vendors! Nice and quiet and what a treat. Kayak's are available at no extra charge.

An entrance to one of the villa's. The entrances all look similar but behind the doors and walls is a variety of amenities, including private pools.

A sleeping room in one of the pool villas. The villas are luxurious and host private sitting areas.

One of the private pools, the outside sitting area is to the right of the picture and there's another 'cove' like sitting area on the left side as well.

Looking at the Apple TV, loaded with plenty of movies and music, even if you're caught on a rainy day, it's easy to get through the day.

The shower area, opposite the bath tub. All lusciously designed with special, locally made stone.

An incredibly big and spacious bath tub, it takes a while to fill up but almost makes for an indoor pool. relax and enjoy!

A view from the 4K restaurant over the ocean in front of the resort. The restaurant is very reasonably priced and offers a well balanced menu with some great smoothies and fruit shakes!

If you're looking for a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, away from all the hustle and bustle that Chaweng and Lamai offer, X2 is an absolute must and comes highly recommended by me. It's only 40 minutes from the airport and there's plenty of activities very near to the hotel, the Samui aquarium, The butterfly garden, the Namuang waterfall and the Magic Garden just to name a few, will keep you busy and entertained, providing you want to escape the serenity of X2.
