Our favourite rooms
Making yourself at home comes easy at Marasca Samui, which pairs a homey feel with hotel frills — and boho-chic rooms reflect this harmony, with their warm-hued interiors and colour-popping ceramics. True to its name, the Comfy Sea View is a cosy space with a view-blessed balcony that surveys Chaweng Beach. Sprawl out in the Homey with Pool, where the terrace has a plunge pool that’s primed for refreshing dips and an outdoor freestanding bath tub for steamy soaks.
Poolside
The main pool is open from dawn until midnight: come for leisurely day-starting swims and return for starlit dips. Swaying palm fronds are reflected on the glassy water, and you can admire the lapis-blue tiles from the woven sofas and sunloungers that flank the sides. You’ll also find a picture-perfect pool at the shoreside beach club, which is a livelier setting for preprandial dips and sunbathing sessions. But save the skinny-dipping for one of the private pool-toting rooms…
Spa
At the restorative spa, holistic rituals have as soothing an effect as the earthy interiors, which pair limewashed walls with rose-pink details. Therapies are given a local twist: drift off with a hot shell massage, unwind with an algae body wrap, or reset with a local moringa or CBD oil therapy. There are treatments for two and mini massages for little Smiths. You’ll also find an indoor pool that suits secluded swims.
Packing tips
Green fingers: each morning there’s a ‘homegrown hour’ in the organic garden, where you can pick fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs that are then turned into cold-press juices.
Also
Next to the Smeg fridge in the central pantry, there’s a bookshelf-concealed door that leads to a secret room with help-yourself snacks, board games, a pillow menu and other frills.
Pet‐friendly
Pooches are welcome to stay in Comfy rooms; the first stays for free, a second can join you for THB 1,500 a night (THB 2,500 if they’re a bigger dog). See more pet-friendly hotels in Koh Samui.
Children
Welcome. Free baby cots for under-fives can be provided; all rooms can take an extra bed for an under-11, which is THB1,187 a night.
Sustainability efforts
Marasca Samui is a pillar of the community, partnering with local charities in volunteering projects. An organic garden supplies fresh produce for daily juices; the ceramics, artwork and sun hats in your room are made by artisans using traditional materials; and bath and spa products are organic and made from all-natural essential oils.
