Where Teak, Gold & the
Gulf of Siam Meet

Carved from the hillside above Lamai Beach, Sandalwood is a boutique retreat of just fourteen villas — each a pavilion in the Thai tradition, framed in fine hardwood, crowned with sweeping rooflines and gilded ornament.

Nine private infinity pools spill toward the horizon. Within, hand-laid teak, silk lanterns and the quiet hum of incense create a sanctuary that feels at once palatial and deeply personal.

Sawasdee ka — welcome home to Koh Samui.
