Tasty island treats
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 31/01/2014
» With a name that means island in Thai (in case you missed it), a big element here is, you guessed it, the tranquil and tropical surrounds that Samui is now world-famous for. Designed by the famous Bensley Design Studio, the restaurant and bar is perched high up at the deluxe resort so takes in all the villas and jungle right down to the beach and beyond. It's definitely distracting enough to abandon any monetary sensibilities for a meal. The deck is open-air, exposed to the elements to maximise the scenery, and the gentle breeze lets your big-city worries recede quickly into the background. Most people are too distracted by the view to notice the design of the structure with its natural timbers and black marble. The space is big enough for about 70 diners, mostly of which stay in the resort even though its open to outside visitors (tick).
