U Koh Madsum, Koh Madsum

We are staying at the U Koh Madsum, Koh Madsum and are enjoying our stay on this 'remote' island South of Koh Samui. This used to be the Treasure hotel, but the U chain got involved and this is now one of the current eight properties in Thailand.

The resort has undergone a serious upgrade and the small island is still as charming as it always was. The resort is build on aside of the island where there is a small beach in front of the resort and you can easily walk through to the other side of the island, where also the Coral restaurant is located, which hosts another pool.

We were located in the 'Tented Villas' where eight of these Tented Villas are around a swimming pool. There are villas in all kind of size, with the biggest being a two bedroom villa with around 120 square meters.

Most villas come with their own pool as well.

It's absolutely gorgeous here and if you need to wind down, this is one of the best locations around Koh Samui to do it, since there's nothing to distract you.

The Treasure, Koh Matsum

The Treasure has now become 'U Koh Madsum', please follow the link for a review.

This resort is very special since it's the only commercial building on the small island of Koh Matsum, off the Southern Koh Samui coast. There are no atm's, fast food chains, shopping centers, cars, or even private residences on Koh Matsum. This is as secluded as you can get.

In front of the resort is a beautiful , albeit slightly rocky, beach and the 36 rooms have all the convenience you can think of. Well, maybe not all the TV channels that you want but that's not why you came to this secluded island to start with, right!

It starts with a 20 minute boat ride from the mainland and from arriving on the island until you leave, it's tranquility all over the place.

Want to feel like a modern Robinson Crusoe with all modern day convenience, this is your best bet around Koh Samui with affordable prices, your exclusive getaway.
