IF AN EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE ISLAND retreat complete with pool villas and stunning natural surrounds set to a soundtrack of ocean waves and tropical birdsong sounds like your idea of a dream holiday — Koh Samui’s sophisticated Cape Fahn Hotel is the next destination to add to your bucket list.
Not only is the five-star luxury hotel, nestled on the enchanting Koh Fahn off the eastern coast of Koh Samui, a landmark for the world’s most discerning travellers, it’s also a dream wedding destination for couples from across Asia Pacific and the world, who arrive at the private island escape for its romantic setting, excellent service, and verdant tropical scenery. It’s also popular for wellness lovers, who call the remote setting perfect for revitalisation and relaxation delivered through therapies old and new.
Though the resort feels as remote as one could want, its proximity to Koh Samui airport ensures a seamless journey to the private oasis.
Award-Winning Destination
Due to its stellar reputation, commitment to the environment and unmatched, curated luxury experiences, Cape Fahn Hotel has earned recognition and awards from many respected organisations.
Its commitment to sustainability is clear through its “Very Good Green Hotel” award from the Department of Environmental Quality Promotion, The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The hotel has also joined forces with UNESCO by signing the non-profit’s Sustainable Tourism Pledge.
Just this year, the resort was named second in the Thailand’s Best Beach+Island Resorts category in the Travel+Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2024 as well as TripAdvisor’s 2024 Traveler’s Choice Best of The Best award, which highlights the exclusive hotel as a top luxury destination.
The Villa of Your Dreams
With only 24 luxury villas — each crafted using bespoke design to blend into the natural landscape — the hotel exudes the exclusivity and intimacy sought by guests seeking an elevated escape.
On the tropical private island, discover a range of pool villa options for groups of all sizes, from one- and two-bedroom villas to beachfront pool villas, ocean view pool villas, deluxe pool villas, bayview pool villas, horizon ocean pool villas, and the newly introduced Ocean Cottage.
The newly renovated Fahn Noi Luxury Pool Villa is our top choice, with 600 sqm of expansive space, the hotel has dubbed it “the private island’s private islet villa.” The modern space features two bedrooms, a private pool, and vibrant, tropical design accents in sunset orange, palm green and ocean blue.
Divine Dining and Elite Events
It should come as no surprise that the property shines at sustainable dining and incredible events.
The hotel offers two dining experiences, Hue restaurant, which offers delightful all-day dining in a breezy atmosphere where you can dine indoors or out, and Long Dtai Restaurant. Private dining and ‘feet in the sea’ picnics are also available.
Long Dtai is the passion project of beloved celeb chef David Thompson and was recognised for the first time this year as selected Michelin restaurant for 2024 for its use of locally sourced ingredients that promote sustainability while delivering a high-quality authentic southern Thai fire grill experience with mesmerising ocean views.
