Hotel information

Set on the serene southern tip of Koh Samet, where white sands meet the clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand, Paradee Resort is an exclusive hideaway offering complete tranquillity and refined luxury. Ideal for couples and discerning travellers seeking peace, privacy, and barefoot sophistication, this boutique retreat captures the essence of tropical indulgence.

Surrounded by lush rainforest and overlooking the secluded Ao Kiew Beach, Paradee features just 40 beautifully appointed villas. Each spacious sanctuary, crafted with natural materials such as teak, rattan, and Thai silk, blends traditional design with contemporary comfort. Many villas include private pools with Jacuzzis, offering a personal haven where you can unwind beneath the palms or gaze across turquoise waters.

Dining at Paradee is a sensory pleasure. The elegant open-air restaurant serves contemporary Asian cuisine, from relaxed buffet breakfasts to refined à la carte dinners, all accompanied by sweeping views over the infinity pool and the Gulf beyond. By day, you can enjoy light bites and cocktails at the Pool Bar, or head to the elevated Sunset Bar to watch the sky blaze across the horizon with a chilled drink in hand.

Days unfold at an unhurried pace here. You might spend the morning exploring coral reefs by kayak, try your hand at windsurfing, or simply recline by the 20ft infinity pool as the tide drifts in. A well-equipped gym caters to those who prefer a more active escape, while the calm rhythm of the resort invites you to disconnect completely.

With its intimate atmosphere, flawless service, and secluded setting, Paradee Resort is the perfect choice for those seeking an elegant and peaceful island retreat, where every moment feels beautifully personal.

Activities & Entertainment

Watersports

Set on the serene sands of Ao Kiew Beach, Paradee offers an idyllic setting for aquatic adventures. Glide across crystal-clear waters by kayak or paddleboard, or discover the island’s vibrant underwater world on a guided snorkelling tour. Whether you stay close to shore or explore nearby reefs and islands, every experience invites you to connect with nature’s tranquillity. As the gentle waves lap against the shore and the sun glistens on the sea, you’ll find it hard to resist spending the day out on the water.

Beach Activities

The beach at Paradee is a postcard-perfect escape, soft white sands, calm turquoise waters, and endless opportunities for relaxation or play. Sink into a lounger beneath a parasol, take a leisurely swim, or join in complimentary non-motorised beach sports. Monthly workshops add a touch of creativity to your days, from arts and crafts to mindful wellness sessions. Every moment celebrates the simple joy of island living.

Spa & Wellness

Restore your body and mind at Paradee Spa, where each of the four double treatment rooms is inspired by the natural elements, Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. Surrender to soothing massages, revitalising facials, and aromatherapy rituals designed to balance the senses. Afterwards, retreat to the spa’s tranquil surroundings or enjoy a moment of reflection by the beach. This is pure island serenity, tailored entirely to you.

Fitness

Maintain your fitness routine at Paradee’s well-equipped gym, open daily from morning until evening. With a selection of free weights and modern cardiovascular equipment, it’s easy to stay active while surrounded by the calm beauty of the island. For a gentler workout, take your yoga mat to the beach and stretch to the rhythm of the sea.

Over two hours, you’ll learn to prepare two traditional dishes using fresh local ingredients and age-old techniques. From balancing spices to mastering presentation, it’s a hands-on introduction to Thailand’s rich culinary culture, and a memory you’ll savour long after your stay.
