Bhundhari Spa Resort: part 2

The Bhundhari is a complete five star resort offering every type of recreational activity for the adult. There is a gym, a library, coffee corner, banquet room, restaurant; Wi-Fi is everywhere and 24-hour room service. However, the beach is not very accessible because of the hills and rocks.

The food at Bhundhari is combination of Thai and international cuisine. The hillside restaurant offers breathing view of the ocean and surroundings.
The hotel is simply magnificent but is it the spa that is the highlight. Built in traditional Thai style architecture, it offers a combination of soothing environment, open spaces, and serenity. This is the place to come to relax, enjoy food, and get spoilt. The resort has superb professional massage therapists who can meet all your needs. Rest assured, your feet will be gently massaged, and your back will receive the most relaxing rub in aromatic oils.

The Bhundhari is not for everyone- the atmosphere suits those who are seeking the outdoors, quiet, peace, and a chance to reinvigorate themselves. Certainly this is not a hotel for the young adults seeking excitement.

The bhundhari is somewhat expensive but worth every penny. The lowest price starts around $179 and include breakfast. Some package deals also come with mid morning, lunchtime snacks, afternoon tea, and even cocktails. The deluxe villas cost anywhere from $250-$450. With the current recession, prices of rooms have dropped significantly. Deals are easy to find and you have the power to bargain.

Bhundhari Spa Resort, Thailand

For those who have money and want to have a luxurious holiday, a visit to Koh Samui can be an enjoyable experience. For many years, Koh Samui catered to the ultra rich and wealthy. Today, anyone can go to this island paradise in Southern Thailand. While Koh Samui is well developed and has many luxurious hotels, one of the latest is the Bhundhari Spa Resort. This hotel is designed as a luxurious spa retreat and located close to the beach of Chaweng. The surrounding landscape offers breathtaking beauty and a panoramic view of the resort. Bhundhari relates to the water lily and is a common religious flower among Buddhist monks.

Bhundhari Spa Resort & Villas is located along the northern shores of Chaweng Beach, surrounded by tropical vegetation and a pristine beach. The resort is easily accessed by car and is about 5 kms from Samui airport. The hotel is only about a 10-minute walk from the heart of Chaweng city if one wants to go for shopping, dining, and entertainment. However, be forewarned, coming back it is a steep uphill climb back to the hotel

Even though the hotel is a family-oriented resort, there is little for children to do. Accommodation ranges from family suites to deluxe villas. All rooms are exclusively decorated in modern design with traditional Thai furnishings to add décor.

Each of the 124 rooms has all the basic amenities but some villas also have whirlpools, Jacuzzi, private swimming pool, and even private terraces. You will even be provided with slippers, bathroom robes, and beach bags.
