Hotel information
Sitting on the southern tip of Koh Samet, on the idyllic white sands of the secluded Ao Kiew Beach, is Paradee Resort.
The boutique resort, set in a lush tropical rainforest on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand, is renowned for its peace and tranquillity. It offers just 40 luxurious and well-appointed villas, all boasting an incredible view of either lush tropical gardens or the beach and the turquoise sea beyond. Each villa is built over a 100sqm plot and beautifully furnished utilising natural materials such as teak wood, rattan and traditional Thai silk. A private pool with a Jacuzzi is a feature of most of the villas.
Set on a gentle incline overlooking the beach, Paradee’s restaurant has views of the resort’s infinity pool, the beach and the Gulf of Thailand. Providing a new interpretation of Asian food in a distinctive circular dining pavilion, its all-day dining menu starts with a buffet breakfast and finishes with an a la carte dinner menu in an elegant setting. Below, the Pool Bar keeps guests refreshed with fresh juice and a selection of exotic cocktails. For more casual dining you can order items from the restaurant and be served poolside. Nearby Sunset Bar is a real treat for the senses with an elevated wooden terrace overlooking the beach and making the most of spectacular panoramic views.
While staying at this quintessential beach resort, guests can relax on the picture perfect beach or around the 20ft infinity swimming pool which overlooks the beach. For those who wish, some water sports equipment can be borrowed to explore the underwater world. Alternatively, perfect your windsurfing or kayaking, or simply head out on a deep sea fishing or sailing adventure. The gym is also available to keep up your daily routine.
Our Advice
-
Listen to the waves crashing on the beach as you indulge in a massage at dusk. The resort has highly qualified therapists and this is a treat for all the senses.
