Meliá Koh Samui – Cheong Mon Beach Swimming Pool Reviewed

As someone who unabashedly indulges in the finer things in life, I’m always on the hunt for my next extravagant adventure. This quest for opulence, combined with a penchant for a touch of humor in my travels, recently led me to the shores of Cheong Mon Beach, where the Meliá Koh Samui Resort holds court as a jewel in Thailand’s luxurious crown. Nestled just a stone’s throw away from the airport, about 5km to be exact, this place isn’t just a resort; it’s a haven of high-end design and lush vegetation that almost whispers sweet nothings to the soul.

I have reviewed Melia Ho Tram Beach Resort in Vietnam.

Meliá Koh Samui

Now, let’s talk about what sets Meliá Koh Samui apart from the plethora of luxury accommodations sprinkled across this globe – the swimming pools. Oh, not just any swimming pools, but an intricate river pool that snakes its way around the resort, offering direct access from the suites to this watery bliss. Imagine this: you wake up, slide open your door, and step into a refreshing aquatic path that leads you… well, anywhere within this palatial space. It’s like living in a waterworld, minus the post-apocalyptic vibe and with a hefty dose of elegance.

For those of us who still revel in the joys of a good slide (admit it, you’re never too old), Meliá doesn’t disappoint. With two slides catering to both the young and the young at heart, it ensures that your inner child will be doing somersaults of joy. And for the pièce de résistance, a pool cocktail bar awaits to serve you your favorite drink – let’s say a mango juice, for the sake of tropical authenticity – as you laze in the water or after you’ve chased the kids around the pool’s meandering paths.

But Meliá knows that the true essence of relaxation isn’t just about being in the water; it’s about what the water does for you. This is where the outdoor jacuzzi massages come into play.

Picture this: you’re floating, surrounded by the stunning vista of tropical gardens, as a waterfall gently cascades onto your head, transporting you to a state of bliss that’s hard to describe but easy to get used to.

It’s like nature and luxury had a baby, and they named it Meliá Koh Samui.

Why Families Swim Here

It’s no wonder that families flock here from across the globe, with Australians seemingly leading the pack. Perhaps it’s the allure of those designer suites that promise an escape not just from the mundane but into a realm of aesthetic pleasure and comfort. Or maybe it’s the unique combination of wild and lush vegetation that surrounds you, making every moment feel like a scene from a high-budget nature documentary – except you’re the star.

In a world where luxury resorts strive to outdo each other with the biggest this or the most extravagant that, Meliá Koh Samui plays a different tune. It whispers of elegance, of a seamless blend between man-made beauty and nature’s bounty. It’s a place where you can swim up to your villa, slide down into a pool from your room, and sip on cocktails as if you were royalty.

The Meliá Koh Samui doesn’t just offer a stay; it offers an experience, a chance to live out those fantasies of waterborne leisure without ever stepping onto a boat. And in doing so, it’s not just setting the bar for luxury accommodation; it’s redefining it, one swim-up suite at a time.

So, if you’re like me, always in pursuit of that next lavish escapade that not only promises but delivers a slice of paradise, then Meliá Koh Samui is where you need to be. It’s where luxury meets the lap of nature, creating memories that linger long after the tan fades. And who knows, maybe I’ll see you there, sliding into a pool of luxury or lounging with a mango juice in hand. Until then, keep chasing those opulent dreams, because life’s too short for anything less.
