There's a gently sloping little headland on the northern tip of Samui, where private villas blend into the landscape of natural vegetation. This is Six Senses Samui resort, a place where you can laze by a vast infinity pool and lose yourself while gazing out to the sweeping panoramas of the Gulf of Thailand.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Everything about this property is well thought out and constructed to make the guest feel absolute serenity. The mindful eye for the environment combined with the minimalist design are what make this brand my favorite in the world. There is no plastic - morning juices and toiletries are in glass, reusable bottles. Each guest has a private and spacious bungalow set far away from other guests. The spa is phenomenal and technicians were very professional. The food was perfect - fresh ingredients and (some/all?) locally sourced. There is a boutique with a nice selection of high quality clothing and beach gear. Relaxing at the communal pool with the ocean view stretching in the back is the best way to spend the time. The transportation to and from the hotel and the airport was in nice SUV's with a cool cloth and water bottle for each guest. The one and only con was that there was construction on the beach when we visited and were unable to use it. We went jet skiing instead, which was really fun. However, when I asked the front desk about it they were incredible at problem solving - which I believe sets great hotels apart from mediocre. They recommended an amazing beach club in the town and set us up to get in and relax. The manager personally went around to guests during breakfast or lunch to introduce himself and inquire if there were any additional needs that could be met. I would specifically travel to a new region just to stay in a Six Senses.

We had the most amazing time at Six Senses Koh Samui - the location and lay out of the resort are fantastic, not to mention the staff who work tirelessly to ensure that you have the loveliest stay possible. The villa was spotless and incredibly comfortable.
We had several spa treatments during our stay and really enjoyed them. The staff were very caring and small details made it feel extra special and worth the cost.
In terms of location, the resort is definitely further out and away from the touristy areas however we used the shuttle which goes to the local fisherman’s village on two occasions. That said, we could have happily stayed in the resort the whole time given the choice of restaurants and menus available.
There is clearly a lot of thought that goes into the reduction in plastic use here - it is a very ‘green’ choice of hotel for those more conscious of their impact on the environment.
Really could not fault it - it is expensive but well worth it!!

Dear CHloeball04, Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback about your experience at Six Senses SAMUI. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much and appreciated our location, layout, your villa, our spa, our sustainable practices and our friendly hosts. Our location on the north tip of the island indeed is a bit further away from the touristy areas, but indeed Fisherman village is only a 15minutes drive away and we now have a daily shuttle service. We hope to be welcoming you back to your home Six Senses Samui one day soon and the entire team joins me in sending you our best wishes and regards. Sincerely, Marieke Dijkhuis

An absolutely amazing experience! We can from Los Angeles, 3 months after our wedding (so a delayed honeymoon) and we couldn’t have dreamed of a more amazing location!
Outside of being a beautiful island and country, the six senses villas are truly beyond belief!! Absolutely stunning!! We personally stayed in villa 57, and it is truly beyond amazing (and this is coming from a man whose wife has traveled the globe, and is not easy to please! And my 1st international trip ever)
That in itself would earn six senses a 10/10, however, their staff is beyond amazing! They are so attentive, kind, and go the extra mile! Their personal touch is truly unbelievable, they know you upon arrival and everyone from the maintenance staff, cleaning team, guest management, and servers are beyond belief and make it feel like we are the only ones here!
I would give six senses a 15/10 if I could! As highly recommended as it can be from a simple man and his hard to please wife!!
NOTE: Our luggage was delayed by china airlines on the way in, their staff (Jo - on this occasion) took care of everything for us so we could enjoy our time here, he called the airlines, coordinated the delivery, and made sure everything was taken care of for us! And that was the 1st night! Again their staff is unrivaled!)
I will be back to update this so each of their staff gets the individual recognition they deserve, but special call outs for: Best (main pool), Jo (guest management), Dean (guest management), and so many more who’s name I will be adding!!

I don't usually write such detailed reviews, but I decided to write for Six Senses Samui. The property is built on the entire cape in the north of the island, overlooking the ocean, with a great view, in the jungle and designed to blend in with the texture of nature. You won't see plastic garbage bags, for example, they carry garbage in elegant sacks made of natural materials, I like it very much. It is both far from the city and easy to reach the most lively places of the island. If the simplicity of the reception misleads you at your first entrance, remember that this hotel has a different concept. When you reach your villa, you will understand that you have made the right choice. The villas are very comfortable. I especially recommend villas with pools, their outdoor spaces and living areas are more spacious. You will feel yourself in paradise under the plumeria and banana trees. From the large windows of the villas, you enjoy the lush tropical texture of 360 degrees. The bed and pillow are very comfortable, the towels and sheets are of good quality. We recommend the restaurant Dining on the Rock, amazing panaroma and delicious food. The property has its own bay, a beach. The beach is clean and well maintained, the sun loungers are comfortable and clean. During our stay, the tide was low, the sea was shallow, but it was still swimmable compared to many of Thailand's shores. Service on the beach or at the pool was quick, complete. Already the service throughout the hotel is fantastic. The staff is high quality. Congratulations to the hotelier Mrs. Marieke Dijkhuis. We would also like to thank each and every one of you, especially Miguel.

@sixsensessamui is a sanctuary of unspoiled natural splendor and serenity that feels vastly different from the party scene raging in Bangkok, Thailand.
It’s not always easy to maintain a friendly environment. Six Senses steeped in local authenticity and implemented into local themed activities, such as Making Herbal Inhaler, Tibetan Singing Bowl, Co-Creative Space, Sustainability walk / Farm Experience, etc. That's what I like during my stay, truly an unforgettable experience!
We had a pool villa, it was perfect! It features a private pool which is a decent size and well maintained, there is a sitting area on the pool terrace, so you can request for an in room dining. The main room was cozy with a high ceiling, air conditioning was excellent with an electric ceiling fan for extra cooling, indoor – outdoor living areas (cabana), working desk, mini bar, and spacious bathroom with an outdoor shower. It’s a perfect layout for a family.
Overall, I would highly recommend this experience, especially to you who are looking for a honeymoon / family trip.

Great property located in the far north of the island, away from everything. Very spacious room with private pool, wonderful outdoor shower and everything needed to better spend our relaxing holiday. It is designed to be a place to spend relaxing days, not suitable for getting around the island due to its isolated location. The fake 5 star Resort in the central area of Chaweng however be careful because nothing has to do with this property. We had dinner and lunch inside and were always satisfied. Good service, very young staff, but helpful. Excellent treatments at the SPA, gym present, small but what you need is there. It is a location suitable for both families and couples; everyone finds their own space. There is a small beach but very pleasant, even the stretch of sea is good (and having toured the whole island I assure you that the beautiful beaches are very few). Often the staff, as in this whole slice of the world, is on their mobile phones and in the eyes of the customer it is something unwelcome.

Perfect location, excellent staff, can do anything to make our trip memorable. Rooms are serviced twice. Very polite and courteous staff, always greet with a smile. Luxurious spa and massage . Lena was our GEM and along with Maya did her utmost to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. Breakfast, dining on the Hill and the lunches by the beach are just too good. The Xmas eve banquet experience was exceptional. Got the Thai Lana massage from the master herself who was very knowledgable. The only downside is that the rooms esp the ocean front pool villa have 70+ small steps to do up and down every time you need to leave your room so certain level of fitness is needed. Do enquire if your room is access friendly. Also since the airport is nearby therefore the serene atmosphere is disrupted every now and then by the noise of the aircraft

We visited Six Senses for three days in December. The resort was like a seen from Fawlty Towers. We had booked a pick up from the airport , when the driver arrived he said he was picking up other guests and that we would have to get a taxi. 40 mins later someone arrived that had been waiting in the wrong area? Arrived and we were placed in a room right beside the restaurant. As the generator and noise from the restaurant was loud we asked to move, 2 hours later we were given a new room. We appreciated the help. Go down to the beach for a swim. All of the staff are standing around. The pool was full of leaves and the beach full of rubbish. I was told I could help clean the beach and there were bins to put all the plastic, isn't that what the staff are for? Three types of wine of the list were not available - could they get the wine from the two other restaurants at the resort - NO. You have to do everything for yourself. Go and get beach towels, go up and order a drink , go back up and sign a bill, where is the customer service? I Service was incredibly slow, the common areas feel dirty and there's leaves everywhere. Obviously the resort was badly affected with the lock downs but it felt like they have just received the keys and opened the doors to guests straight away, the hotel need so much maintenance. The rooms are great, Dinner at the Rock is delicious and the staff at that restaurant provide great service. The rest was a real let down which was such a shame as we were really looking forward to experiencing the hotel. Fill the mini bar, offer snacks in the room, put ice in the rooms so you can have a drink whilst sitting in your pool, in the afternoon, fill the bars with great wine, train the staff and try to anticipate guests needs. An email to management received no response - no surprise there.

The hotel is very specific, we vacation in Thailand often, twice a year for the last few years. Negative - no normal access to the sea - a swing at the lower pool with a sharp base, which causes injury when lifting from it to the Achilles tendon area - there are no sweets, chips, etc. for children in the room, there is only water. We are supporters of proper nutrition, but on vacation sometimes you want something salty and sweet in your room with beer) I’ll write later why they aren’t there - the restaurant is not bad, but limited in both European and Thai cuisine, this is the first time I have seen such a limited menu in Thailand. In previous hotels, in the evening there were always delicious parties with different cuisines, here everything is very ascetic. - there are no water activities, but it’s also clear that there is no normal access to the sea. - the rooms are just old. Although the bed linen and bedspreads for the various sun beds were excellent, the pillows were of varying softness to choose from. - on the last night rats came to both of our houses!!!! It was a shock!!! We bought nuts, chips, and sweets for the children in the store (since there are none in the room), that’s why they are not there!!! Since the hotel knows this problem, but does not solve it. There were two rats in one villa number 29 and one in villa number 11. It was difficult to kick them out. They damaged containers where nuts were stored, damaged packages of chips, and chewed chocolate. For the first time I saw rats above my head in a hotel, it was a good feeling. - bad toilets, the toilet is trying to go somewhere, the smell of sewage - before entering the room there was a smell of a corpse, more precisely of a decomposing animal, but in the end I realized it was a surface located consolidation that had rotted, if you constantly drain the water, the smell goes away, if you are not in the room it appears again!!) Good - Normal gym - good spa, visited twice - excellent staff - there is a super farm where children can collect chicken eggs We chose a hotel based on a rating higher than 9 and based on the cost (expensive), and ended up being blown away for the first time. The hotel is old with big pitfalls that are hidden behind the shell of an eco-hotel. My rating is no more than 6.5 out of 10 points!!!

Six Senses Samui has an idyllic setting, but the service is less than ideal. From chatting with the hotel before arrival when they misgendered my husband to a gruff checkout experience it failed to meet our expectations every step of the way. It's easy to overlook because the property (especially the infinity pool) is stunning, but the Six Senses brand should stand for something better than what's on offer at their Samui location. The lowlight had to be the so called "GEM" who was incredibly friendly but utterly useless and regularly gave us the wrong information leading us to us miss out on activities and a room upgrade we requested. The food is delicious but dining on the rocks was a disappointment after all the hype and - fair warning - the food on the vegetarian menu has fish and shellfish products.

Dear Islander_Addict, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Six Senses Samui. We are very happy to read that you think our resort is stunning and our food delicious. It is with regret that we hear that some aspects of our stay did not meet your expectations, please accept our sincere apologies for imperfection. With regards to the misgendering of your husband, you may remember we apologized for this during reservations, acknowledged by you and I also personally apologized to you during your stay. The mistake was totally unintentional as we took your partner’s name for a woman’s name as it is both a woman and a man's name in some countries. Please accept again our sincere apologies. This aspect is very important to us as at Six Senses we truly celebrate diversity and promote a workplace of respect, openness and empathy for other cultures and differences, and we treat all guests equally. This is a very important part of our training given to all our hosts; we want our guests to feel 100% themselves and at home with us. In Thailand this is not difficult to teach to our hosts as it is one of the most tolerant and guest minded countries in the world. I was very grateful that you had brought this to our attention, as it will only makes us work harder on avoiding mistakes like this, and making sure all our guests are felt comfortable at all times at our resorts. We have well noted your comments on the check out and on your GEM, at Six Senses every guests has a guest assistant who follows and assists them throughout their stay, we apologize for any misunderstandings, and we will make sure to retake training and work on improving our concierge services. The mistake in our vegetarian menu (at Dining on the Hill restaurant, not at Dining on the Rock restaurant) has been adjusted, thank you very much for pointing this out to us and please accept our sincere apologies for the oversight. Thank you again for your review, we take your feedback very seriously and will use it to couch our team and adjust our operations and services. We do hope to have the pleasure to welcoming you back one day to Six Senses Samui to experience our improved services. Yours sincerely,

Request a child friendly villa as you want to avoid one with a sunken bath that a child may fall into.
Other children were staying at Six Senses when we were there and were in the restaurant most evenings enjoying their meals.
Dear kjphilip,
Our Ocean Front Pool Villas are facing both sunrise and sunset side, depending on the location of each unit, but the sunset cannot be seen directly from the villas due to the angle. Should you wish to enjoy the sunset view from your villa, Ocean Front Pool Villa Suite would be your option.
Hope you find it useful.
Thank you.
Hi, there was no consturction near the hotel when I went a month ago. The hotel offers a shuttle each night into fishermans village but you have to make your own way back via taxi. Probably 20 mins away.
There are more places to choose from in the Bophut area.
