Koh Samui - Horizon Villa - Location

Since a few years, Koh Samui is ranking high among the most demanded destinations in Thailand and in the world. Its accessibility and large variety of landscapes make it the absolute dream destination. The island is very intimate and it appears to be the perfect destination for travelers seeking top of the class as well as budget accommodations. This tropical paradise lies in the peaceful gulf of Thailand, it is rich with natural resources, white sandy beaches, coral reefs and coconut trees. Travelers will be delighted to discover the magnificent archipelago of Ang Thong nearby and the islands of Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and plenty of diving spots around.

Samui is known as much for its pristine beaches than its rocky shores and picturesque countryside; all activities are available on and off the island: trekking, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, sailing, etc. Those who like golf are not forgotten as the island bores its very professional golf course, which was built a few years back by famous Santiburi Group. This course, which is just 15 minutes drive from the property, is a perfect delight for those who seek not only a technical and challenging golfing retreat but also peace and harmony in a charming panorama.

Although the tourism industry developed quickly on the beaches of chaweng and Lamai since a decade or so, most of the island’s treasures remain unspoilt and can be enjoyed freely as if on a desert dream-island. This is especially the case when talking about Choeng Mon’s beach, a secluded bay on the northeastern tip of the island. This small beach is occupied by only a few luxury hotels and restaurants, making it perfect for those who want peace and quiet.
Many events and festivals take place in Koh Samui and everyone will find something to see or do during his stay. From sailboat regattas and art festivals or tennis opens to world famous full moon party on nearby Koh Phangan, the island is a lively place for everyone to enjoy a special time.

Koh Samui is popular with young retirees who seek an active yet peaceful and cheap retirement. The island has its international standard hospital and is linked several times a day by ferryboats to the nearby continent. The islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao can be reached very quickly as well with ferries or speedboats. Ang Thong, which is a Marine National Park west of Samui is perfectly free of hotels and tourists, this magnificent archipelago still belongs to mother Nature as overnight stays are not permitted and debarkation highly restricted.
