Centara Reserve Samui celebrates its recognition as one of Thailand’s Top 10 Beach & Island Resorts in the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2026.
Voted for by Travel + Leisure readers and travellers from across the region, the recognition reflects the experiences that continue to draw discerning guests to the shores of Koh Samui, from personalised service and meaningful moments to exceptional dining, wellbeing and island-inspired discovery.
The annual Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards celebrate the region’s most outstanding travel experiences, with winners determined by the people who matter most: the travellers themselves.
For Centara Reserve Samui, the accolade serves as a powerful endorsement of the resort’s commitment to creating stays that are both deeply personal and distinctly memorable.
“To be recognised by travellers who have experienced Centara Reserve Samui firsthand makes this honour especially meaningful,” said Neil Li, General Manager at Centara Reserve Samui. “We are sincerely grateful to every guest who took the time to vote for us and share their confidence in our resort. This recognition is also a testament to the passion, dedication and genuine care shown by our team each day. Their commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality is what transforms a stay into something truly memorable.”
Every element of the resort is designed to create authentic connections and lasting memories, expressed through what Centara Reserve Samui calls its Reserve Stories, from an island inspired welcome ritual to a dedicated Reserve Host offering attentive, personal care throughout the stay.
Culinary and wellbeing experiences are refreshed regularly to keep pace with seasonal occasions and global trends. This July, the resort’s Sa-Nga restaurant welcomes Chef Waii of Rasik Local Kitchen, the Bib Gourmand recognised restaurant of the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Thailand, for an exclusive collaboration on 25-26 July 2026 with menus specially crafted to celebrate contemporary Thai flavours.
At Reserve Spa Cenvaree, guests recently experienced a limited time wellness collaboration with Brad Reed, Founder of Integrative Somatics and Performance Specialist, combining somatic therapy, breathwork and sound healing to restore balance and renewed energy.
For guests seeking a more immersive stay, The Reserve Journey offers a compelling way to experience the resort’s full range of offerings at exclusive rates. The package invites guests to unwind over five consecutive nights, complete with daily breakfast and ample dine, drink and spa credit, freely explored across the resort’s six restaurants and bars and the immersive wellness journeys of Reserve Spa Cenvaree. Villa guests also enjoy complimentary roundtrip airport transfers, ensuring a seamless and effortless journey from arrival through to departure.
Together, these experiences capture the essence of what continues to draw discerning travellers to Centara Reserve Samui, an appeal further affirmed by this latest recognition, which strengthens the resort’s standing among Thailand’s leading luxury properties and highlights the growing appeal of Koh Samui as one of Asia’s most sought-after island destinations.
As the resort looks ahead, it remains committed to elevating every aspect of the guests’ journey while continuing to create exceptional experiences that inspire travellers to return time and time again. For those yet to discover Centara Reserve Samui, this latest recognition offers a compelling invitation to experience one of Thailand’s most celebrated beach and island retreats for themselves.
The Reserve collection will soon expand with the opening of Centara Reserve Krabi, bringing the brand’s signature approach to luxury hospitality to Thailand’s iconic Andaman coast.
