Press reviews - Tamarind Villas

Some comments from the media about our holiday villas & spa on Ko Samui

Bangkok Metro July, 2003

"...Tamarind Retreat redefines the existence of a hideaway. There are only a few places in the world that take your breath away by exceeding any expectations you might have had of them, no matter how high they were. The moment you arrive, you realize that your imagination has its limits, and that there are people, places that can surpass these limits."

Brigitte Woman (German) April 2002

Business Traveler January/February 2002

"Superlatives are hard to avoid when talking about Tamarind Retreat on Koh Samui, and in my view, it's the best of the island's burgeoning spa resorts."

Traveldish Website July 2000

"... an extraordinary island hideaway and day spa... Shamefully indulgent it definitely isn't. Sumptuous it is. I guarantee that this haven won't be kept secret for long, though."

Maureen Hill - Diary April 2002

"... I could feel the tension drain from my body... A superb Thai massage and facial followed leaving me pretty well ecstatic."

Time Magazine July 1999

"... a secluded sanctuary which has been winning accolades for its simplicity and conscientious treatments since it opened... the aim was to create 'an oasis for body and soul.' Judging from the glowing testimonials in Tamarind's guest book, they certainly have."

Condé Nast Traveller December 2000

"Everything came alive: the leaves, the insects, the sky... only at Tamarind Springs... did I find myself immersed in the serenity that Thailand can offer."

Los Angeles Times July 2000

"... my body convulsed with pleasure. Did I deserve such delight? Of course not. But my long-neglected feet did, and I suspected they'd be thanking me for weeks. I emerged a new man."
