Overview

Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui sits on a private hillside overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, where palm trees sway, villas peek through lush greenery, and the ocean glows a deep holiday blue. Christmas here feels indulgent yet calm — celebratory without chaos, festive without formality.

It's an ideal Christmas Day destination for couples who want warmth, romance, and freedom to celebrate the holiday their way — whether that's active mornings, spa-filled afternoons, or long, leisurely meals together in tropical paradise.

Where to Stay

Private pool villas cascade down the hillside, each offering expansive terraces, infinity pools, outdoor showers, and sweeping sea views. Interiors blend Thai elegance with Four Seasons refinement — warm woods, soft fabrics, and open layouts designed for relaxation.

On Christmas morning, waking up to sunlight on the water and a quiet villa feels like the ultimate gift — peaceful, luxurious, and entirely yours. The privacy and serenity create the perfect backdrop for celebrating Christmas at your own pace.

Golf

Golfers are well-served with access to Santiburi Samui Country Club, one of Thailand's most scenic courses. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course winds through coconut palms and rolling hills with ocean views on many holes.

Christmas Day golf here is a joy — warm air, immaculate fairways, and none of the holiday pressure found back home. Whether you both play or one tees off while the other enjoys a slower start to the day, the experience feels relaxed and festive in its own way.

The resort can arrange tee times and transportation, making it easy to include golf as part of your Christmas Day celebration without any logistical stress.
