LOCATION:
A
magical oasis of tropical enchantment, Poppies Samui lies on a pristine
white sandy beach in the fabled Gulf of Siam. Located at the south end
of Chaweng, well away from the hustle and bustle of the main resort
area, Poppies has earned its reputation since 1994 as Koh Samui's most
exclusive "boutique hideaway", with over 40% of its business
a combination of repeat guests and "word of mouth" introductions.
Poppies Samui offers the same sense of peace and tranquillity as its
famous namesake in Bali; stone walls hide a private haven of bubbling
streams and waterfalls, wooden bridges, and meandering paths bordered
by flowers and colourful foliage. A crystal clear free form swimming
pool with natural rock surrounds, and a sparkling jacuzzi lie between
the gardens and the sea. SHOW
MAP.
ACCOMMODATION: Just
24 luxuriously appointed Thai-style cottages hide amid the greenery,
each offering privacy from the others, and each surrounded by colourful
and exotic gardens, with meandering paths, bubbling streams, fish
ponds, teak bridges and waterfalls.
Each
cottage is a small suite comprising a sleeping area with either
queensize or twin single beds and a living area, with table and
chairs and a sofa that converts to a full-size single bed. Outside
there is a private terrace overlooking the gardens. Our cottages
combine the best of Thai style with Western comforts and amenities.
The carved roof panels, doors, floors and windows are of solid teak
and the fabrics are of finest Thai cotton and silk. Of course individual
air-conditioning, ceiling fan, personal safe, well stocked mini-bar,
television (10 satellite channels), hair-drier, and coffee &
tea making facilities come as standard. The bathrooms are unique,
with sunken bath tubs and showers set in marble, as well as a small
private garden.

HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES:
Koh
Samui. Thailand's southern paradise island - the third largest
in the country - lies in the Gulf of Siam and has long been famed
for its incomparable beauty as a truly tropical island. Chaweng
Beach, with its silver-white powder-fine sand and crystal-clear
blue water, is one of the best beaches in the world. Poppies lies
on the best part, where there is no coral under the water - just
pure sand.
Water
Sports. Water skiing, windsurfing, sailing, and many other activities
are available along the beach. Fishing, Snorkeling and Scubadiving.
Samui offers you a choice of trips for fishing, snorkeling and
scubadiving from a half day to as long as 3 days - we will be
happy to provide you with details and prices. Marine National
Park. North-west of Koh Samui is the Angthong Marine National
Park consisting of 47 islands. Visiting the park is a full day
excursion.
Inland. Koh Samui is an island of coconut palms - about 2,5 million
of them. For sightseeing Samui has much to offer - the mountainous
interior conceals coffee and rubber plantations as well as tracts
of untouched jungle and spectacular waterfalls. Strange rock formations
abound. The most impressive landmark is the Big Buddha, a huge
golden image set on a rocky peninsula jutting into the sea.
Other activities include Elephant Trekking, a visit to a Snake
Farm, a Crocodile Farm, or the Butterfly Garden. You can watch
trained monkeys picking coconuts, or you can go mountain biking.
Poppies owns small 'jeeps' which may be rented - this is the recommended
way to see the island, so bring your international drivers licence.
For those who do not wish to drive themselves, Poppies offers
chauffeur-driven day tours, with a picnic lunch provided by our
Chef.
