Poppies Resort - Koh Samui

A tiny magical oasis of tropical enchantment, Poppies Samui lies on a pristine white sandy beach in the Gulf of Siam. Located at the south end of renowned Chaweng beach, well away from the hustle and bustle of the main resort area, Poppies has earned its reputation, since opening in 1994 as Koh Samui's most exclusive "boutique hideaway".

A crystal clear free form swimming pool with natural rock formations, and a sparkling jacuzzi lie between the gardens and the sea. 

Poppies restaurant is now firmly established as the leading restaurant on the island, where you can dine under the stars overlooking the beach or in the magnificent Ayuthaya-style teak pavilion beside the pool.

Poppies gardens are considered by many regular guests to be our crowning glory. There can’t be many hotels in the world where the gardening team receive as many accolades as the frontline staff! Every time you walk through them you will discover some delightful new flower or feature you missed the time before. To take it all in, there is a strategically located “sala” (a Thai style thatched roofed gazebo) in the heart of Poppies, overlooking the carp filled fishponds, where you can sit and “contemplate”.

A few gentle steps from the pool lead you from the hotel directly onto a white sandy beach. This is probably where you will spend most of your days, lazing under white canvas parasols on our fully reclining beach beds. Our attentive beach staff will happily “set you up” for the day as well as provide continuous glasses of complimentary iced water and bar and food service.

Poppies Samui is owned and managed by an established team of caring and experienced professionals from UK, Eire, Thailand and Indonesia (Bali).

Getting to Koh Samui has never been easier or quicker thanks to Bangkok Airways, who exclusively operate frequent daily flights from and to Bangkok (domestic terminal Don Muang Airport), Singapore, Hua Hin, Phuket and Krabi with a fleet of state-of-the-art Boeing 717 and ATR aircraft. Koh Samui airport is regarded as one of the most uniquely charming airports in the world.

Poppies underwent a complete refurbishment in 2002. Each cottage is “L” shaped like a small suite comprising a sleeping area – with either a queen-size bed or twin single beds – and a living area with an easy chair and a large comfortable sofa that converts to a full size single bed if required. Of course individual air-conditioning, ceiling fan, personal safe, well stocked mini bar, television (satellite and cable channels), hair drier and free coffee and tea making facilities come as standard.
