Karma Group has
announced a return to Thailand’s Koh Samui with the opening of Karma Apsara, a
tranquil oasis located on the pristine coconut grove slopes of the fabled
holiday island. Located on an elevated slope in Mae Nam along Koh Samui’s
breathtaking north coast, Karma Apsara brings together 32spacious oneand two-bedroom
residences offering both garden and ocean views.
Karma Apsara is located
just five minutes from Mae Nam Beach with its sugary white sand and swaying
palm trees, while Koh Samui airport is just 15 minutes away. Besides its
stunning natural attributes, Mae Nam features an excellent golf course,
eateries and boutiques, while the town of Chaweng is just a short drive away.
Featuring a pretty horizon pool with panoramic views, an on-site restaurant and
bar and private beach access, Karma Apsara is the ideal gateway to discover one
of southeast Asia’s most fabled islands.
“Koh Samui is one of my
favourite islands in south east Asia and as Karma previously developed a highly
successful resort on the island, I am delighted we are returning,” said John Spence, Founder and Chairman of
Karma Group. “Karma Apsara, named after the mythical water nymphs, is
located in the north of the island close to pristine white beaches and the Santiburi
golf course, making it a perfect base to explore the spectacular local
surroundings or just kick back and relax by the pool. We arecurrently undertaking
a rolling renovation program to make the resort even better, according to
Karma’s high standards.”
Karma Apsara’s 32 spacious
rooms are perfect for everyone. Guests can choose from a range of one-bedroom
studios and one or two-bedroom residences, ranged around a pool overlooking Mae
Nam bay. All feature comfortable king or queen-sized beds and ensuites.
Guests can relax
poolside with a signature Karma Apsara cocktail, iron out the kinks from that
long-haul flight with a relaxing Thai massage with one of Karma Spa’s
bodyworkers or take a stroll through the perfectly tended tropical gardens. If
feeling like a longer walk, guests can head to Mae Nam beachor opt for a round
at the Santiburi golf course, just 3km from the resort.
Karma Apsara’s
semi al fresco restaurant features floor to ceiling glass that open to create a
seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces. Guests can enjoy a
selection of exquisitely prepared local dishes inspired by Thai street food
traditions, as well as international favourites. There is a great selection of
fine wines from the resort’s well stocked cellar as well as cold, refreshing
local and international beers and a wide range of cocktails.
