If you like the ultra laid-back vibe at Away Koh Kood, the good news is Bespoke Hospitality Management Asia (www.BHMAsia.com) has followed it up with Away Koh Samui Elements Resort and Spa (goo.gl/oSrThK).
 
Located on Phang Ka, to the southwest of the island, the 37-room resort is packed with single- and double-bedroom pool villas and deluxe suites with a private beach plus two restaurants, including the beachfront Bamboo.
 
Rooms start from B5,500/night for a deluxe room, but they are now offering introductory rates from B3,823/night.
