Staying at the Farmer’s Boutique Resort **** doesn’t feel like staying in a hotel. Rice fields outline the resort, and the mountainous scenery and forest-strewn hillsides beyond that disguise the fact that the resort is so close to the beach, as well as all the shopping, nightlife, and restaurant opportunities that accompany Koh Samui’s touristic side. Instead, it feels like making Thailand your home. While away the days sunbathing with a cocktail around the salt-water swimming pool, delight your taste buds with authentic cuisine and let your worries melt away at the traditional spa…
Even for the most enthusiastic gastronomic connoisseur, the food served at the Farmer Restaurant & Bar is beyond anything most of us will be able to whip up in our own. The menu showcases Thai cuisine using fresh ingredients, though often with creative fusion twists. The peaceful luxury of the spa naturally highlights the best of traditional Thai culture, too – guests who’ve schedules themselves in for a Thai massage will understand completely! Under the skilled hands of the masseuse guests slip easily into bliss, with the natural scent from the coconut plantation perfuming the air.
With only 45 villas, the resort feels hidden and secluded, while the separate detached villas create the ambience of a cosy village setting. Even the smallest is an impressive 50 metres squared, and the spacious interiors, traditional Thai décor, and scenic-view terraces complete the journey of being transported to a delightful Thai home. As the natives would say, Kun Gam-Lang Tam A-Rai – welcome!
