"A 140-acre isthmus resort with water galore: calm lagoon, Caribbean bay, pounding Atlantic. Ocean waves do the entertaining just beyond the simply furnished suites (some TV-free) with private verandas, big windows, outdoor garden showers. Captain a Boston Whaler for island hopping, bike on trails lined by wild nutmeg and frangipani. Island-born chef infuses the menu with flavorsome Caribbean attitude. 31 suites."

What's Great Travel + Leisure says...
"THE SETTING 18,000 acres in the foothills of the Cedar Mountains.
GREEN FACTOR When Bill McAdam purchased the vast tract of wilderness in 1991, the property was a virtual wasteland of overgrazed veld. Today, the Kloof blooms with 800 tree and plant species, down to rarities like the Clanwilliam cedar. Threatened wildlife has come thundering back, too, including red hartebeests, black wildebeests, bontebok, aardwolves, 150 rare birds, and one of the largest private herds of endangered Cape mountain zebras in the world. More than 130 ancient rock-art sites dating back 10,000 years are also safeguarded in their natural environment. After a day in the wild, it's nice to know that the 16-room Relais & Châteaux lodge has hand-sewn bed linens."
Location The all-suite Tongsai Bay Resort is located at Choeng Mon, on the north-eastern side of the Thai island of Koh Samui. It is 17 kilometers (10. 5 miles) from the island's airport. Chaweng Beach is nearby, and most other attractions are no more than 20 minutes away.

Expert Tip. Just off the coast at Choeng Mon is the tiny island of Koh Fan Yai which can be reached on foot at low tide. It also makes an easy kyaking destination.
