At the southern end of busy Chaweng, this popular old-timer is newly revamped, and, unlike the concrete behemoths around this part of town, Poppies features just two-dozen luxury cottages nestled amongst lush foliage, with paths and wooden bridges crossing over streams and cascading waterfalls. The Balinese-style cottages have unique open-air bathrooms with sunken bathtubs and marble floors, set in private gardens. Unwind at the Body Care Spa in a sala by the central free-form pool, which is surrounded by natural boulders. The Ayutthaya-style wooden pavilion is home to the resort's well-loved restaurant, known for years as one of Samui's finest. Given its top service and amenities, this place books up quickly -- reserve in advance.
