GARRYA TONGSAI BAY
SAMUI
Eco-Luxe Villa Retreat
Since its grand opening in 1987,
Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui has
firmly believed that hospitality
and sustainability can coexist
harmoniously, like yin and yang.
This belief shapes a meaningful
deluxe stay, nourishing guests while
at the same time nurturing nature.
Founded by eco-conscious
guru Akorn Hoontrakul and now
led by his likeminded son and
daughter-in-law, Thanakorn and
Saisiri Hoontrakul, the resort
seamlessly integrates green
projects and policies into its core
values, all while maintaining
luxurious amenities and design.
Since December 2022, the Resort
has been managed by Banyan Group,
who continue embracing the values
set by the owner and pairing it with
their expertise in managing hotels
and resorts worldwide.
Set in a lush 28-acre landscape
with a private beach, Garrya
Tongsai Bay Samui’s suites and
villas are scattered in the shade
of more than 170 trees, which are
in turn home to over 65+ bird
species. Along with its dedication
to eco-friendly practices, the
resort distinguishes itself through
the refined simplicity of its
minimalist yet captivating design.
Ideal for those seeking an escape
from the hustle and bustle of city
life, it offers a sophisticated and
harmonious retreat.
While the selection of 63
suites is downright dazzling, we
recommend diving into the lap of
luxury in one of the 18 Pool villas
for a truly special stay. Garrya
Tongsai Bay Samui presents a range
of options enveloped in pristine
nature and adorned with five-star
amenities. Choose from a Grand

or a wellness devotee, the Wellbeing

from every angle – even from the
bathroom. With four units available,
guests have the option to choose

this villa type.
