Samujana has just been awarded three MICHELIN Keys – the highest and rarest tier!
From MICHELIN: “There are certainly less extravagant ways to enjoy Koh Samui. But this island, once — long ago — a well-kept secret, is now anything but undiscovered. It’s still paradise, though, or can be, if you play your cards right; and if you want to enjoy the unparalleled natural beauty of this heavenly island without having to elbow your way through a crowd on the beach, you’ll have to find a way to seclude yourself just a little bit. The private villas at Samujana should do nicely.
“This hideaway, set high on a hilltop overlooking a coral cove, features a range of spacious villas, all lavishly outfitted with infinity pools, fully equipped kitchens, private cinemas, and sweeping views over the water. This is more than a place for relaxing — it’s a place for entertaining as well. Indeed, there are no regular hotel rooms here. The most modest option is a villa with three bedrooms, and some have as many as eight. And yet, even if you were traveling with a small crowd, there’s still plenty of space to spread out and enjoy a bit of solitude. The aesthetic is sleek and modern, with seamless integration between indoors and outdoors; there’s extensive lounge space ideal for reading a book, taking a nap, or lingering over a breakfast of tropical fruits and pastries.
When you’re staying in a place as blissful as Samujana, you might not want to leave. A fleet of Thai chefs is at the ready to whip up a lunch or dinner of steamed snapper and green curry in your villa’s kitchen. If you’re feeling more energetic, venture onto Koh Samui’s dining scene, visit the towering Big Buddha, hike to the island’s famed waterfalls, or just put your towel down on the beach. Swing by the nearby rum distillery on the way back and pick up a bottle: the staff at Samujana will be happy to mix you a mojito on your terrace at sunset.”
Similar to Michelin stars, the keys are a three-tiered award designed to highlight the best places to stay across the globe. Hotels can be rated as one key (a special place to stay), two keys (an exceptional stay) or three keys (an extraordinary stay). It is a great honour to be the only hotel with a Michelin three key award on Koh Samui and one of only 8 in Thailand, and less than 100 in the world!
If that’s not a good enough reason to visit Samujana, did you know that part of The White Lotus Season 3 was shot here? Tune in when the series airs in 2025!
SAMUJANA’s name comes from the blend of Koh ‘Samui’ and the word ‘Jana’, meaning coral in Moroccan, due to its stunning hillside location overlooking a coral cove, with private beach access and uninterrupted views of Samui.
Samujana’s definition is very simple – 23 charming villas from 3 to 8 bedrooms, all with oversized private infinity pools, modern Thai architecture and breath-taking views, 5 star hotel services and details that make the world of differences, the perfect place for friends and family to gather and have a great time.
