With its unique concept and cutting edge design, the Library is surely one of Thailand’s most stylish and most interesting resorts.

Taking its inspiration from holiday reading, the main concept behind the resort is that of a book. Thus the lobby has been renamed Contents and each of the 26 rooms is referred to as a Page. Rooms are divided into 13 white cubist duplex buildings. Suites are on the ground floor and feature floor to ceiling wooden shutters which rotate to let in the ocean breezes or close for privacy. In front of each suite, there is an outdoor area for sunbathing and reading. Upstairs rooms are light, bright Studios and come complete with a balcony.

Both room categories feature a master bedroom area on a raised platform and include large plasma screen TVs. There is a separate living area which includes a white iMac computer complete with unlimited broadband connection for guest use. The bathrooms feature rain showers and dramatic white bathtubs. The Suite rooms include Jacuzzi bathtubs. Rooms at The Library are characterized by a futuristic and minimalist Thai design. Plinth beds, bold edges and the odd splash of color set off dramatic black fittings and bright white floors.

A design highlight is the resort’s breathtaking bright red swimming pool and the adjacent pure white Library itself where guests can read and enjoy a wealth of media. Set along the beachfront, the chic grey-tone restaurant dubbed “The Page” and a bar complete the color panel.

Ban Sabai, meaning relaxing home, is aptly named. It is a cozy beachfront boutique hotel in a peaceful location on Koh Samui’s largely undeveloped west coast. Staying here is a totally different experience from a holiday in busier Chaweng Beach on the opposite side of the island. Chaweng is about 30 minutes away, making Ban Sabai unsuitable for those looking for nightlife and access to entertainment.

There are only 22 rooms and villas at Ban Sabai, making this a very intimate and peaceful resort. The 12 Sunset Jacuzzi Rooms (35 sq. m.) are located in a two-storey building, overlooking the pool and garden. The 6 Garden Jacuzzi Villas (135 sq. m.) are positioned around the swimming pool and feature a private plunge pool, Jacuzzi and a sala. The 4 Beach Front Pool Villas (250 sq. m.) are located right on the beach. The villas can be set up as 2 bedrooms, or as 1 bedroom and 1 living room. Each Villa offers a private pool and sala overlooking the beach.

The added benefit of Baan Sabai is its Spa infrastructure that includes outdoor massage salas, sauna and steam room, a salt chlorinated swimming pool, a Salt Flotation pool and a gym.

Baan Sabai has its own restaurant, but there are not really any other dining options nearby.
