This ultra slick, concept hotel in Maenam on the exclusive north coast of Samui provides a sensuous blend of luxury, style and modernity. A thoughtful fusion of minimalist design elements and attentive service really give this hotel the edge for lovers of contemporary design who aren't that bothered about being right on the beach. The most accurate way to describe it would be 'an urban resort island hotel'! The whole place has a high speed wireless internet connection making it ideal for business or leisure travelers alike. And if your only internet interest is to check your emails occasionally, they have a high speed connected computer for guests too.

Whilst not right on the beach, it’s not far away. The hotel provides complimentary transfer to the private beach of their sister hotel (a mere 4 minute drive away). They have a daily shuttle to the beaches, shopping and nightlife at Chaweng Beach. As well as out of hours to Chaweng and a 24 hour taxi service.

Everything about the multi architects design here has been considered inline with the overall concept: be unique, be smart, be yourself! They use technology to save energy and protect the environment, the heat from the air compressors is used to heat the hotels water, the used water is then treated, recycled and used in the gardens.

Whilst being modern and in some parts, a little bit stark, Amarin Victoria does maintain a significant level of elegance and sophistication playing host to a range of fine eating and drinking outlets that service both guests and visitors from other hotels. Their Liquid Corner Bar incorporated into the lobby is the ultimate in chic. With sharp lines, back lit panels and funky seats. The bar itself is back-dropped by a waterfall and fountains behind glass. They serve a full range of cocktails classics and some exclusive to this bar, with the house special being the Green Amarin Cocktail. Delicious!
