After big renovations, Mantra Samui has reopened with a more contemporary vibe and boutique style.
The basic but stylish rooms feature dark wood furnishings and ocean blue decor, each with its own balcony facing the ocean.
Its infinity pool and hardwood floors offer all the trappings of coastal luxury, but thanks to a location five minutes from the beach, you can also save on the price of staying right by the sand.
The spacious Ocean View Room stats at B3,500/night ($143/night), while you can also rent the beautifully positioned Samui Ocean View Suite at B5,720/night ($233.80/night). Surrounded by jungle, the room offers a stunning, unobstructed view of Bo Phut beach.
Hop on the resort’s shuttle bus to reach the beach in about five minutes, as well as other Samui destinations like fisherman’s village and tasty food spots.
