 Out of this world views, top of the range facilities, superb
treatments and services, and a full commitment to providing
total customer satisfaction are just some of the reasons why The Spa at the brand new Conrad Koh Samui is setting a new benchmark for spas on the island.
Conrad Koh Samui is over on the south-west coast, not too far from Samui Snake Farm, and takes just 35 minutes to reach from Chaweng. The road leading to it winds steeply upwards until it reaches the top of the hill upon which the resort's main reception is perched. From up here there's definitely a 'top of the world' feeling as you have an uninterrupted 180˚ panoramic view across the Gulf of Siam to the neighbouring tropical islands and the mainland far beyond.
 An electric buggy will be on hand to take you the short scenic journey down and along the twisting pathways to The Spa, which is located on a promontory completely apart from the rest of the resort and set over two floors. There are a total of 10 treatment rooms here (three for couples, five for singles and two for Thai massage) each being luxurious, spacious and entirely self-contained and offering totally unrivalled facilities, particularly the VIP treatment suite. Which is not only immaculately designed in a pleasing contemporary style, as are the rest of the rooms, but also has its very own steam room, lounge deck and private spa plunge pool with the most magnificent 270˚ views imaginable – and that's not an over-statement! In fact, it would be very hard to find a better place to enjoy a spa experience anywhere in the world.
 With perfect facilities, you also need excellent service, and The Spa delivers in that area too. Their overall spa philosophy is to "merge contemporary results-driven treatments with local Thai ideology" and they manage to do exactly that.
The Spa's range of treatments plus fitness and wellness activities is comprehensive, with everything on offer from a simple one hour Thai massage through to all-inclusive
packages lasting several hours and even three-day 'Spa Retreats' including fitness classes, fun activities, decadent spa treatments and healthy spa cuisine. Plus you're also assured of the best when it comes to the spa products used at The Spa, as they're supplied by global leader, Aromatherapy Associates.
Although the journey to The Spa is a fun one in itself, it's the journey of spa discovery once you're there that's the really exciting one, and one that comes thoroughly recommended.
The Spa Signature Treatments
Transcend into a deep state of relaxation with this signature body
indulgence, designed to release tension from both body and mind. A
gentle exfoliation of natural grain and olive pip smoothes your skin
before soaking in a deep tub of warm aroma infused water to completely de-stress a tired body. A full body massage including an ayurvedic scalp massage completes this total body overhaul and will leave your mind with a deep sense of calm and your body silky smooth.
Melt away stress with a completely unique experience. This treatment begins with a full body scrub featuring organic coffee and essential oils of vanilla and jasmine. Sip on lemongrass tea whilst soaking in a bath sprinkled with local frangipani petals. Thirsty skin is treated to a layer of aloe vera and fragrant tuberose and your body is massaged using traditional Thai stretching techniques. A soothing hot oil scalp massage is performed and finished with a hair wrap. An application of body butter with tonka beans and scents of sweet jasmine completes the experience.
East meets West with this fusion of traditional massage styles including Swedish and neuromuscular techniques to relieve muscular tension, and lymphatic drainage to encourage healthy circulation. Oil selection is personalised to your mental and physical needs after a consultation with one of our trained therapists. Chakra balancing, muscle release and spinal pressure techniques are combined with lymphatic drainage and foot reflexes to soothe your mind and soul.
Restore and revitalize a stressed body with this head to toe indulgence. Relax with a nurturing massage of the back and neck as tension is released and toxins are cleared. This is followed by a facial tailor-made to suit your skin's particular requirements. The ritual concludes with a 'skin-saving smoothie' full of antioxidants and nutrients for the skin, and an acupressure scalp massage to induce deep relaxation.
