Offering 270-degree views of the Gulf of Thailand, few other resorts can boast of a more spectacular panorama than the Sila Evason Hideaway. This magnificent view is due to the resort’s private location on a headland on the northern tip of Koh Samui. Guests will feel as if they’re the only inhabitants on the island.

Most of the resort’s 66 two-storey villas house private infinity-edge pools with breathtaking ocean views. These pools blend into the ocean’s horizon, creating a sense of harmony with nature.

The resort prides itself on serving the best authentic local Thai favorites – prepared in traditional Thai style. Select your dining surroundings at the Dining on the Hill restaurant– whether it be regular tables, daybed niches or cushions set on deck in a pond, savor your dinner while admiring the beautiful sunset.

However, the resort’s most famous attraction has to be its signature restaurant Dining on the Rocks. With unrivalled vistas of the sea and outlying islands, guests could be forgiven for thinking they have been transported back in time to the days of Vasco de Gama.

At night, the romance with the sea continues with candle-lit dinners under the stars. The elegantly designed bars beckon guests for a chill-out session. Alternatively, you can pop by the resort’s well-stocked wine cellar for a wine-tasting session.
