About Paradee

Paradee is an upscale beachfront resort on Koh Samet, one of the closest island escapes from Bangkok, offering a refined and secluded retreat for travelers seeking privacy and comfort. The resort is made up of posh villas, several of which come with private pools, set against a backdrop of tropical foliage and direct beach access. The overall atmosphere leans toward intimate luxury, making it a popular choice for couples and those looking to unwind in style rather than a lively, social setting.

Guests can expect chic dining options on-site alongside a full spa, so there is little need to venture far during a stay. The resort's beachfront position means that sea views and easy access to the water are a consistent feature of the experience. The combination of private villa accommodation, attentive service, and on-site amenities makes it well suited to those who prefer a self-contained stay over exploring a broader resort area.

Practically speaking, Koh Samet is accessible year-round, though the dry season between November and May generally offers the most reliable weather and calmest seas. Reaching the island requires a ferry from Ban Phe pier in Rayong, roughly a three-hour drive from Bangkok. Given the resort's boutique scale and reputation, booking well in advance is advisable, particularly over Thai public holidays and the peak holiday season when rooms fill quickly.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Location Matters More Than Stars

A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
