S Hotels and Resorts PCL, the flagship hospitality arm of Singha Estate PCL, is set to launch SAii Koh Samui Bophut, an all-pool suite and villa retreat on Thailand’s tropical “Coconut Island.”
Scheduled to open on December 1, 2021, this low-rise sanctuary is nestled on Hanuman Bay—a secluded 1,000-foot-long stretch of sand on Samui’s northeast shore. Surrounded by lush foliage and coconut palms, with granite headlands that jut out into the sea, this eco-sensitive resort is an ideal getaway. The resort is close ot the Samui International Airport, enabling domestic and international travelers to arrive and depart with ease.
SAii, which is derived from the Thai word for “sand” or “pathway,” is an upper-upscale lifestyle concept that is expected to attract a new generation of experience-seeking guests called “InSAiiders.” Target guests are Millennially minded explorers who" value personal freedom, authentic encounters and a sense of discovery. They are tech-savvy, but also have a desire to look beyond the screen, engage in adventures and conserve the environment."
Every stay at SAii is defined by a series of touch-points, such as “Hello” (a warm Thai welcome), “Hub” (the social heart of the resort), “Play” (the resort’s activities), “Treat” (creative culinary offerings), “Live” (exceptional events), “Sleep” (comforting rooms, suites and villas) and “SAii For Now” (a heartfelt farewell).
The resort offers private pools in every villa and suite, besides a range of engaging guest experiences, and is ideal for couples and families alike. From yoga sessions to art and craft classes, kayaking on the ocean waves to snorkeling on the offshore reef, fitness center workouts to immersive excursions, the resort is a haven of tranquility and a hive of energy.
Good to know: Children aged 13 and under can stay free of charge.
Guests can plunge into the freeform pool, sip cocktails at the swim-up bar or enjoy Thai therapies at Lèn Spa, which offers a personalized approach to well-being, while young guests can make a splash in the kids’ pool. Freshly brewed coffee can be enjoyed at Bean/Co, the laid-back café and open-air lounge, while Miss Olive Oyl is a Mediterranean-style seafood grill and bar with al fresco seating and an extensive list of wines from across the world.
