W Retreat-Koh Samui Will Bring a New Dimension of Cutting-Edge Design and Contemporary Lifestyle to the Resort Experience
W Hotels Worldwide, the hotel category buster and industry innovator, has announced that W Retreat-Koh Samui, the first W Retreat in Southeast Asia, will open in summer 2010. An all-villa beachfront resort that will be a sublime architectural tribute to Maenam Beach on Samui Island's pristine northern coastline, W Koh Samui will offer an "escape within an escape." Located adjacent to W Koh Samui will be The Residences at W Retreat-Koh Samui, featuring 17 secluded beachfront villas ranging from three to five bedrooms and from 1,000 to 2,752 square metres. Each residence will offer a modern, cool style with local touches and full access to the benefits, services and amenities of W Retreat-Koh Samui.
"W Koh Samui will redefine the way we live and play," commented Miguel Ko, Chairman and President of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Asia Pacific. "After a fantastic and successful introduction of the first-ever W Retreat in the Maldives, we are delighted to bring W to Koh Samui, one of the coolest islands in Southeast Asia."
Capitalizing on Thailand's long history of festivals and lunar ceremonies, W Koh Samui will be the destination where daytime is dedicated to individual moments and relaxation, while the night brings energy and celebration. With its powdery golden sands and unspoiled waters, W's location is a perfect sanctuary for local and global jetsetters alike, and the Retreat's signature programming and service promise will bring a unique dimension to the everyday resort experience and a new way to escape.
W Retreat-Koh Samui will feature 75 private villas, offering a range of options from panoramic views high atop the Samui hillside to direct beach access on the shoreline below, equipped with modern elements, including private plunge pools, daybeds, an outdoor shower, Yamaha sound system, 47-inch plasma screen TV, wine refrigerator, and signature W bed. W Koh Samui will also offer W's signature Whatever/Whenever(R) concierge service, providing guests and residents with whatever they want -- from a Champagne brunch on a deserted beach to an intimate sunset wedding on a stretch of Koh Samui's glistening sand -- whenever they want it, as long as it's legal!
