Ban Suriya

Amazing Samui experience thanks to Tik and the team at Ban Suriya. Compliments to the Chef on the delicious selection of food presented every single meal. We had the pleasure of a cooking lesson in the beautiful outside kitchen for one meal, which was a lot of fun. Attention to detail by all members of staff were above and beyond. For families with teens, Tik arranged lots of activities; quad biking through the jungle, zip lining, boat trip for snorkelling & lunch to surrounding remote islands, night markets, elephant sanctuary, just to name a few. A day at home in the villa was also perfect for relaxing around the pool with a swim up bar, or lounging on the beach under the shade of a palm tree, kayaking, paddle boarding, out door movies in bean bags, table tennis, pool or chess, the gym if so inclined. And massages, don’t forget the massages! Massive thank you to Tik and the team and Tom our lovely driver, for a treasure cove of holiday memories we will never forget. khàawp-khun mâak ná khâ

If you’re looking for WOW factor, this is the Villa to book! We stayed here for 4 nights with family, this was also our wedding location. The Villa is absolutely stunning and the staff are incredible. The breakfast and dinner that was prepared was the best food we’ve had. I can’t recommend this Villa highly enough. Thank you so much.

Ban Suriya is quite literally a slice of heaven - we really loved our stay there! It’s a stunning luxurious beach house set in a beautiful garden, flowing down onto a stunning white sandy beach, with crystal clear turquoise water, and with the most magic sunsets - my definition of paradise! Tik and her team looked after us like royalty, thinking of everything before we had the chance making our week properly relaxing! The house is stunning, and is made from beautiful wood and stone that blends into the natural surroundings. I loved how the design creates cool, light and airy spaces, and the layout feels so spacious, with rooms connected to the main building with shady walkways. We were a large group of friends staying together and we never felt crowded or on top of one another at any point. The inter-leading living areas feel peaceful, while the property comes together with a cosy and homely feel. I just loved this. The stunning garden is also definitely a highlight, it is set in a coconut grove, with tropical flowers in beds and a huge lawn, which extends down to a perfect little tree lined beach. We had heaps of space for adults to chill (helped by daily thai massages and sundowner cocktails) and kids to play (stand up paddle board, kayak and beach swing there is plenty to do). The food also deserves a big mention - all ingredients are picked from the kitchen garden or bought fresh each day from the local market - and transformed by chef! This is as good as healthy food gets in my opinion! Chef also gave a few of us a cookery lesson - I have already made the turmeric fish since I have got home. Thai curries, fresh tropical fruit, home made yoghurt, freshly squeezed juices etc etc I could go on! It really is perfection, I very highly recommend Ban Suriya, and hope to return soon!

We enjoyed the most magical of holidays at Ban Suriya. Stunning location, beautiful private beach, crystal clear water, warm friendly staff, luxurious accommodation, delicious food (anything you fancy - but we recommend the Thai cuisine). Plenty to do too - from water sports to massage, personal trainers, yoga teachers and manicurists. A fabulous week. Would go back in a flash (might need to take the extended family next time, perfection accommodation options for a larger group too).
