1. Private Gourmet Beach Picnic On a Deserted Island

Enjoy a private beach picnic tour with your partner far away from the typical busy tourist crowds found on the main island of Koh Samui. Take a short boat ride over to nearby Koh Tan and Koh Mudsum (two nearby islands located just south of Koh Samui) in your own private traditional Thai longtail boat. There you will enjoy a fun day of exploring empty beaches, snorkelling and fish feeding in pristine water — followed by a romantic gourmet picnic lunch in a secluded beach location. This unique and romantic island picnic tour does not have a set itinerary, which allows you to customize your valentines day so you can spend it exactly how you want.

If you are looking to experience a more active valentines day in Koh Samui, then you should definitely spend an amazing day of tandem kayaking with your partner around the world famous and picturesque Angthong Marine Park. Your adventurous day will be comprised of different parts, which includes snorkelling, cave exploration and sightseeing, then lunch — then more sightseeing! During your kayak excursion, you will visit the astonishing ‘Green Lagoon’ or ‘Emerald Lake’ which is a hidden saltwater lake inside the tranquil waters of the Marine Park. Make sure your camera is ready to go at all times and definitely keep your eyes and ears alert as you might be lucky to see the families of whales, dolphins and monkeys that make this majestic place their home.

3. Enjoy a Private 5 Star Romantic Dinner on the Beach

Have your romantic valentines day dinner prepared by a skilled chef from one of the local 5-star restaurants, and be served inside your very own private cabana down on the beach. Indulge in a delectable series of local Thai dishes and a great selection of the finest wines and cocktails prepared especially for you, while being pampered by a small team of highly professional wait staff who are there to make sure your valentines day dinner is an experience that you will never forget. Special decorations, aromatic candles, a warm tropical breeze and uninterrupted views of the ocean will create the perfect valentines day ambience for you to enjoy this amazing and unique outdoor dining experience.

4. Professional Photo Shoot with Your Loved One

Remember and relive your special valentines day in Koh Samui for the rest of your life with a professional photo shoot. From wonderful waterfalls to marvellous beaches, Koh Samui provides idyllic backdrops almost everywhere you look. And while you may think your photography and ‘selfie-skills’ are better than most, there is nothing quite like the finished product of a professional photographer to help you encapsulate your love for each other when spending valentines day in a tropical paradise.

5. Stay in a Private Villa

Staying in a private villa in Koh Samui brings the romantic experience to a whole new level. Imagine waking up to the sounds of local fauna and amazing scenery, then walking straight outside your bedroom to take a morning dip in your own private swimming pool. The friendly staff will take care of everything, and an on-site chef can be hired to prepare a wide range of delicious meals for you. Take a leisurely stroll down to a pristine white sandy beach which can be found only meters away from your villa — or spend the entire day relaxing in complete privacy and seclusion to enjoy an intimate and unforgettable valentines day with your partner.
