Some might see the bold, minimalism of The Library as somewhat stark. But nestled against the tropical backdrop of one of Koh Samui's most popular beaches, it becomes clean and easy.
EXPERIENCE
Minimalist design isn't what you'd expect to find on a beach in Thailand. The contrast at The Library is uncanny - a bright red pool flanked by red umbrellas and sleek deck chairs pressed up against a lush hodge-podge of Thai vegetation.
The complex shuns the overbearing monster-hotel look for 26 cabins scattered amongst gnarled trees and verdant lawns. Each modern, two-story bungalow consists of a suite space on the ground floor and a studio upstairs, complete with ocean view. Interiors at The Library are equipped with iMacs - their design brethren - broadband, and plasma screens. The pure color palette pays off: the old-growth forest and lively beach are admired without distraction.
At The Page Restaurant, guests enjoy a menu that's been tailor-made by three of Bangkok's most famous chefs. The open-air space overlooks the sea and the vivid red swimming pool.
For fans of elegance, cheerleaders of design and devotees of all things green, this hotel is for you.
