With mind-blowing views across the water, Paradee is not far from being paradise on earth. Enveloped in glistening vistas and white-bone sand, this stay located on the sun soaked island of Koh Samet features 40 villas, most of which are equipped with their very own private pool. Drawing influence from Moroccan and Balinese design elements, the villa interiors blend deeply soothing soft natural hues with rich décor featuring traditional Thai teak wood, rattan and silk, to perfectly complement the natural beauty of the lush jungle settings.

Paradee is also gifted with an incredible infinity pool that sits right in the tropical sun and resisting the temptation of a swim would be an impossible task…

Enjoying a blissful location beside the Ping River, blessed by a serene atmosphere but in easy reach of the heart of Chiang Mai, Raya Heritage offers guests a relaxing and authentic escape in northern Thailand. Presenting a contemporary take on traditional Thai design, the hotel’s character is inspired by the spirit of Lanna life and northern Thai principles, particularly the social value placed on living in balance with nature and the surrounding community.

Presenting a choice of 33 spacious suites spread across three levels, the guest rooms are set within the hotel’s wonderful gardens, just steps from the scenic banks of the river. Utilising the traditional artistry and heritage of the Lanna culture, decor includes handcrafted artisanal touches such as handwoven textiles, baskets, pottery and woodcarvings. The suites also feature comfortable outdoor terrace areas, while many of them benefit from their own private pools.

Personalised service and guest comfort are at the forefront of the Raya Heritage’s philosophy, something defined by the wonderful on-site Al Waan Spa with its focus on regional healing treatments and techniques. Dining at the hotel is also a rewarding experience, beginning with the rice-inspired dishes served at Khu Khao, while Laan Cha Tea Terrace is the ideal place to enjoy afternoon tea and Baan Ta is perfect for pre-dinner cocktails.
