If your private villa is not private enough, you're going to love this new resort just opening last month on Koh Samui's Lipa Noi Beach. Atkatsuki, which, by the way, means “dawn” in Japanese, features five vintage Japanese-style suites carved with dark wood and clean lines. All suites are reserved for private use only, so whether you come as a couple or in a group of friends (maximum of 17 guest), you'll need to hire the whole resort, which includes four pools, a spa, a restaurant with private chef and butlers. The introductory rate is US$2,000 (B59,670) per night until Dec 31. +6677-485-704, www.akatsuki-resort.com
