CHECKED IN: SAMUI<br />
STAYED: NIKKI BEACH<br />
Widely known as one of the most<br />
glamorous and extravagant beach clubs<br />
in the world, Nikki Beach Club has been<br />
building up and polishing that reputation<br />
for more than 20 years. With locations in<br />
renowned seaside party locales such as<br />
Miami, Mallorca, Ibiza, and Saint Tropez,<br />
and their Lipa Noi Beach location in Koh<br />
Samui, they pretty much have all the<br />
bases covered.<br />
Many consider Nikki Beach Koh<br />
Samui an elite destination for a day<br />
chilling in the pool, sipping on<br />
champagne, and dancing to top-notch<br />
international DJs. What some may not<br />
realise is that you can come for the<br />
day, and never leave. That’s because in<br />
addition to their beach club, which was<br />
voted the “sexiest beach bar” by the<br />
Travel Channel, Nikki Beach Koh Samui<br />
is also an exclusive 48-room beach resort.<br />
The accommodations are set into<br />
two separate wings flanking the beach<br />
club in the centre offering up five basic<br />
room types: garden villas, seaview villas,<br />
pool access suite, pool view suite, and<br />
the penthouse. Appealing to groups<br />
of friends or families, several suites<br />
can be converted to two, to up to five<br />
bedrooms. The suites are situated on<br />
each side of a pool so long it’s more like<br />
an inland sea. They all have immense<br />
balconies with cosy couches and strong<br />
ceiling fans to keep the breeze blowing<br />
– a small but appreciated detail.<br />
The 70 sqm. garden villas have equally<br />
spacious verandas just outside of the<br />
tastefully decorated and well-appointed<br />
rooms. Step off the veranda of a seaview<br />
villa right onto the sand and leave the<br />
door open and let the salty breeze blow<br />
through. Seaview pool villas have the best<br />
of both worlds with a pool right outside<br />
your door and only steps to the sea.<br />
All rooms are luxuriously appointed<br />
with silky linens on comfy king-size beds,<br />
high ceilings with modern lighting, and<br />
sprawling bathrooms with his-and-her<br />
sinks. The walk-in showers are equipped<br />
with awesome rain shower heads and<br />
posh aromatherapy products. While you<br />
take a break from partying at the beach<br />
club, you can flick on the 42″ TV with<br />
a ton of international channels where<br />
something is always on.<br />
And as one may expect of a resort<br />
of this calibre, they offer many other<br />
activities to keep you occupied including<br />
a full service spa, gym, boutique shop,<br />
<strong>Thai</strong> cooking classes, a beachfront<br />
massage pagoda, and shuttle service to<br />
take you to all sorts of cool spots around<br />
the island. Any mention of Nikki Beach<br />
Koh Samui would be remiss without<br />
bringing up their notoriously amazing<br />
Sunday brunch with an endless array of<br />
delectable fare and drink options.<br />
Most people are likely come to Nikki<br />
Beach with their sights set on having a wild<br />
time at the beach club, but now you can<br />
come for the part and stay for the resort.<br />
