Vana Belle, a Luxury Collection Resort, Koh Samui

Uplifting in ambience and décor, our Grand Pool Suites welcome guests with a soft island breeze, which enters through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors leading out to a private terrace. Home to an inviting pool, the sun-washed space also presents a coffee table and chairs ideal for marveling at the unsurpassed sea views while enjoying an alfresco meal.

This same exquisite atmosphere emanates from the suite’s interior, where natural light highlights tranquil cream and brown tones. Joined by rich metallic accents and a smooth wood floor, this understated yet modern palette presents a harmonizing backdrop for the suite’s native accents and exotic artwork, including an abstract interpretation of the creatures of the mythical Himmaphan Forest, the resort’s indigenous inspiration.

Dramatic sculptural light fixtures further complement the contemporary Thai décor, illuminating a plush sitting area populated by a sofa and two armchairs. Situated around a coffee table, they provide an intimate place to enjoy a hot drink from the coffee and tea maker or a refreshing beverage from the minibar.

This is also an idyllic spot from which to watch a movie on the 40-inch LCD television with CD/DVD player, or program a custom soundtrack on the iPod docking station. A plug-and-play entertainment center makes integration effortless. Additional technology includes complimentary high-speed internet access, which can be comfortably accessed at the dark-wood writing desk.

From the ground floor, a set of stairs ascends to the split-level sleeping area, where a signature king-size Luxury Collection bed unites with a convenient bedside lighting control panel and hanging vanity mirrors, which separate the sleeping area from the large granite-lined bathroom. Here, dual vanities combine with a rainforest shower enclosed in frosted glass and a large stone bathtub boasting panoramic sea views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Exclusive Luxury Collection bath amenities and plush bathrobes and slippers guarantee unrivaled relaxation.
