  » Kimpton Kitalay Samui, the second Kimpton in Thailand and Kimpton's first resort in Southeast Asia, lives up to its Thai portmanteau -- kita for music and (ta)lay for sea -- as it sits right next to a secluded and unspoilt stretch of Choeng Mon Beach, Koh Samui. Not only you can hear the sound of waves rolling ashore during your stay but also the buzzing of cicada.

From 1995, the beachfront 17.7-rai property has evolved into an internationally renowned wellness destination that has welcomed many A-listers and collected many accolades, including "Best Destination Spa" by Condé Nast Traveller The Spa Awards 2020. 25 years in the biz.

But before I go into detail on VIP treatments, let's talk overall impression of Cape Dara first.
