Calming neutral toned fixtures. Woven bamboo chandeliers. Lush tropical greenery. Sparkling blue waters. Chic grass jutes. Classic Buddhist-inspired decoration. These are just some of the things that one expects to find in a luxury establishment on one of Thailand’s stunning islands. Indeed, guests checking in to the Karma Resort boutique hotel will find all of the above – but what sets this particular hotel apart is how it weaves all these elements together to bring to reality the holiday dreams of guests. Karma Resort is a truly magical venue nestled in a tropical garden near Bophut Beach in Ko Samui. The resort’s founders conceived it as a place at which guests could enjoy glorious beachfront moments, gourmet cuisine and luxurious accommodation villas that are the perfect escape for those wanting to detach from the demands of everyday life. The resort’s eclectic architecture and intelligently designed villas offer spacious and artfully decorated rooms, tropical baths and plenty inspiring nooks that harmonize simplicity and modern aesthetics.

Since opening just a few years ago, Karma Resort has set a new standard for what every beachfront boutique hotel should deliver to luxury-seeking guests looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday in a leading travel destination. It was established by Laurent Haroutinian and Virginie Haroutinian who have lived on the island for over 15 years. Their deep understanding of Thai culture and knowledge and appreciation for Ko Samui is evident in the work they’ve put in at Karma Resort. Supported by a team of 35, the owners deliver a truly flawless experience for guests that check-in to the hotel. Karma Resort is a place to indulge in both simple and sophisticated pleasures: to love, laugh and live in the moment. That is our desire for guests. We try to provide a unique hotel experience, a refuge where you can relax, be pampered and express your true self”. At Karma Resort, each of the villas are designed to perfection, relying on neutral tones to create a perfectly relaxing atmosphere. The architecture is inspired by the personal stories and tales of travel around the world; it represents the fusion of various cultures and styles, made perfect by the subtle charms and traditional styles one associates with Thailand.

Karma Room Villa, for example, is a two-story unit with a private, covered terrace of over 30 m². The 94 m² villa features a king-size bed, an outdoor tropical private bathroom, and a spacious terrace on the upper floor from which guests can enjoy inspiring views of the Gulf of Thailand. The other villa room options are Karma Room Pool, Karma Room Garden and Karma Room Terrace, and each have unique elements that make for a seamless stay at Karma Resort. “In designing our villa rooms, it was important for us to create a luxury escape for our guests. While coming to Ko Samui is a wonderful escape of its own, we wanted to take that feeling a step further by creating resting spaces that allowed visitors to just be – be rested, be inspired, be rejuvenated by the calming surroundings and bespoke elements in each accommodation,” explains Laurent. From a culinary perspective, the chefs at Karma Resort take great care to maintain the reputation of Thailand’s gastronomy scene. From impressive breakfasts to tasty in-room service, whether it’s fine Thai cuisine, a rich palette of European courses or a flavorful BBQ, every meal at Karma Resort is a treat.

On the premises you will find Karma Beach Restaurant, a unique pool-and-beach restaurant concept that has a cheerful vibe during the day (perfect for socializing and spending the day in the sun) but turns into a classy evening spot for romantic evening dining – an idyllic setting at which one can reflect while looking over the calmed ocean waters. Karma Resort is a comprehensive establishment, boasting spa and fitness facilities and offering a range of entertainment activities. The resort is a favorite destination for events and weddings, with guests from all over the world falling for its wonderful charm and inviting aura. Truly, Karma Resort is the ideal place to spend an unforgettable holiday.
