Paradee means ‘paradise’ in Thai, and the name is no exaggeration. On arriving at Paradee, you will immediately sense the atmosphere of tranquillity and luxury.
The resort is very private, situated as it is between two coastlines on the southern part of Koh Samet with beaches on both sides. On the east-facing side, you’ll find the idyllic beach Ao Kiew, with white sand and turquoise waters, while the west-facing beach consists mainly of cliffs, providing great opportunities for snorkelling among coral reefs and tropical fish.
The resort consists of 40 100-square-metre villas, which are all randomly placed around the lush surroundings. The villas have thatched roofs with high, vaulted ceilings. Inside, they are all painted in sunny yellow and decorated in Balinese and Moroccan styles, with Thai design elements such as teak, rattan and silk to complement the beautiful surroundings. Each villa is equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a minibar, a safety box, a smart TV and an electric kettle, so you can make yourself a cup of coffee or tea to enjoy on your terrace or sala, which are furnished with table and chairs. Each villa also has an umbrella and a flashlight, and every day you are served fresh fruit – completely free of charge. The bathroom has an outdoor shower and a bathtub, as well as a hairdryer, bathrobe and slippers.
During the day, the white sandy beach invites you to pure relaxation and swimming in the clear water. Or take a stroll along the beach and feel the powder-like sand between your toes as the calm waves gently lap against the shoreline. Paradee also has a lovely infinity pool with beautiful views of the Gulf of Thailand.
After a day in the sun, book a treatment at the resort’s spa and wellness area, which will give you the feeling of renewed energy and well-being.
If you need a change, Paradee offers a range of free sporting activities, including stand-up paddle boarding, snorkelling and kayaking, where you can discover hidden coves and lagoons.
For those who want to maintain a healthy lifestyle when you are away from home, there is also a gym with weights and cardio machines.
Paradee does not disappoint gastronomically either. It serves authentic Thai dishes and international favourites made with local, fresh ingredients. The restaurant’s traditional ‘sala style’ features a distinctive circular pavilion design with beautiful views of the resort’s infinity pool, the beach and the Gulf of Thailand. In-villa dining is also available for an intimate dining experience on your terrace.
In the evening, enjoy a drink at the Sunset Bar, which is located on an elevated wooden terrace built into the rocks and overlooking the west-facing beach. Here, there is a relaxed atmosphere and a breathtaking panoramic view of the beautiful sunset.
Paradee Resort is the perfect choice for those looking for peace and relaxation in lush, luxurious and tranquil surroundings.
