Centara Reserve Samui celebrates its third anniversary this month, marking its third year with a record twelve global awards in two luxury categories within 2024.
Since it first opened its doors back in December 2021, the resort has set new standards in personalised, design-led hospitality.
Today, it continues to deliver extraordinary experiences that have captured the hearts of discerning travellers from around the world.
A concept that changed the game
Nestled in a serene seafront location at the tranquil end of Chaweng Beach, Centara Reserve Samui introduced a new concept of bespoke luxury escapes.
Crafted for travellers who seek meaningful experiences in exclusive settings, the resort tells the story of its destination through its design, service, and immersive experiences.
Through the vision of renowned design firm AvroKO the property seamlessly blends colonial inspiration with traditional Thai woodcraft and contemporary elegance.
From the moment guests enter the light-filled lobby adorned with a handcrafted wooden lighting fixture, to the spacious suites and pool villas featuring white-washed oak and intricately carved wood details, every corner of the resort exudes sophistication.
Outside, alfresco pavilions and living areas frame stunning ocean views, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation and reflection.
Catering to discerning tastes
The resort also offers six extraordinary culinary journeys all offering diverse dining experiences across three distinctive venues.
Salt Society Beach Bar & Kitchen is the island’s bespoke destination, offering a chic, laid-back vibe with fresh seafood, handcrafted cocktails, and unmissable Sunday Brunches set against a backdrop of spectacular oceanfront views.
Encapsulating Samui’s laid-back ambience is relaxed piazza-style dining at The Terrace where comfort food from around the world is on the menu.
Sa-Nga, which means “elegant” in Thai, presents Thai tapas with a modern twist, crafted by master chefs from an open kitchen.
For the ultimate steakhouse experience, Act 5 – The Grill showcases imported meats, premium Thai Wagyu beef, and fresh seafood grilled to perfection in KOPA ovens, delivering signature smoky flavours in an intimate setting.
For gin connoisseurs there’s The Gin Run with over 35 house-blended gins is the place to be for an immersive experience and personalised gin-based cocktails made by our resident mixologist, while the Pool Bar is the ideal place to soak up the picturesque island vibes in-water and poolside with refined refreshments, creative cocktails and light bites.

The art of well-being
Well-being is also at the heart of Centara Reserve Samui where the world’s first Reserve Spa Cenvaree is a serene sanctuary that boasts its own Organic Herb Garden.
Here, skilled therapists escort guests to personally select and handpick their treatment ingredients, which are then blended and infused in oils and clays for their own inspiring spa journeys that pamper and cultivate a deep sense of wellbeing.
With seven treatment rooms complete with steam and sauna facilities, the 100% organic spa menu includes body treatments, scrubs and wraps accompanied by healthy snacks and organic drinks.
Spa Cenvaree is also a multi-award-winning operator delivering exceptional spa journeys inspired by traditional Thai healing with over 35 spas in South-East Asia and the Middle East.
