Now that Karma Panalee is opening in Koh Samui we thought we’d whet your appetite by profiling a typical – if action-packed day on the iconic island in the Gulf of Thailand. One that unfolds as a perfect blend of natural beauty, rich culture, exquisite cuisine, and stunning beaches, all easily accessible from our stunning new beachfront resort.
Begin your day with a peaceful sunrise yoga session on the pristine sands of Bang Po, followed by a refreshing swim in the resort’s infinity pool surrounded by lush tropical gardens. After a delicious breakfast at Karma Panalee’s beach restaurant, embark on a cultural journey to the nearby Wat Plai Laem, admiring its colourful depiction of Buddha among other statues, all in a serene lakeside setting.
Next, explore the island’s lush interior with a visit to the Secret Buddha Garden (Tanim Magic Garden), a hidden gem nestled in the hills which also features an impressive sculpture park. For lunch, savour authentic Thai flavours at a local seafood restaurant in the nearby fishing village of Bang Po, known for its fresh catches and relaxed atmosphere.
Afternoon adventures might include kayaking along the coast directly from Karma Panalee or taking a short trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park for snorkelling and island hopping. As the day winds down, witness a spectacular sunset from the comfort of your resort’s beach bar.
Cap off your evening with a traditional Thai massage or spa treatment of your choice, available on site at Karma Spa, followed by a romantic beachfront dinner featuring exquisite Thai inspired cuisine that blends local ingredients with international flair plus signature cocktails and world class wine selections. From dawn to dusk, Koh Samui offers Karma Members an unforgettable tapestry of experiences, all within easy reach of your new island home at Karma Panalee.
