As your speedboat from Koh Samui pulls up to the blindingly white sands of Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi beach – home to Rasananda – you’ll feel a million miles from the rest of the world.
This stylish resort is the first of its kind to open on Koh Phangan; it is exclusive but not stuffy, luxurious but not flash.
Rasananda has just 44 luxurious villas and suites set against a backdrop of lush green jungle. Each has its own private plunge pool as well as indoor and outdoor living spaces. You’ll find beautiful hand-woven Thai silks and polished teak, top notch linen and a huge, sexy bathroom.
There is a choice of two restaurants serving superb Thai and other cuisines or you can always opt to dine in the privacy of your own terrace. Kick off your evenings with a glass of fine Champagne and savour the wines from the impressive cellar.
There is a stunning spa and a yoga studio too. Other activities on your doorstep include snorkelling, scuba-diving, kayaking and jungle trekking.
Kick off your luxury honeymoon in Thailand by heading north to the Golden Triangle area of Thailand where Laos, Thailand and Burma all converge. Stay at a beautiful resort overlooking the Mekong, explore the indigenous hill tribe villages and learn to drive an elephant. Spend a few nights in the northern city of Chiang Mai to visit the markets and charming temples before flying direct to Koh Samui for your stay at Rasananda.

The Thai island of Koh Phangan is the sort of place you might have visited when you were younger, wilder and single. But if you go back now, you’ll find a new generation of small luxury hotels like Rasananda on superb hideaway beaches. And if you want adventure, check out a Full Moon Party.
