"A classic tale of love and enchantment comes alive, a dreamlike idyll spirited to the shores of  Samui island"

Muang Kulaypan Hotel is inspired by a tale of Indonesian folklore introduced to Thailand during the Ayudhaya period and translated into the Thai language many years later by King Rama II. As a matter of fact, the historic Thai kingdom of Srivijaya was substantially influenced by the Javanese and enjoyed their powerful sovereignty in Southern Thailand for centuries. The Javanese tale of Inao is the legend of the romance of Prince Inao and Princess Budsaba set in the ancient city of Muang Kulaypan where this exotic love story unfolded. The designer of the hotel, profoundly inspired by the tale of Inao, has created a unique architectural style blending Zen with Southern Siam and the life style reminiscent of its people. The terraces and walkways are dotted with sculptures and aged bonsai trees alongside the custom furnishings designed by the architect M.L. Archava Varavana. Muang Kulaypan boasts its exceptional elegance on Chaweng Beach, enchanting guests day and night. 
The architect has decided to use simple raw materials for the construction and decoration of
the Hotel.Many local craftworks have been used in this process.This concept creates a blend of simplicity together with the inherent practicality using materials available on hand. All furnitures were made specifically on site during the construction. The decor seeks to becalm the senses and plays down the luxurian. This minimalist environment engenders a certain simplicity to fullfil one’s life without aspiring to excess, a suitably honorable way to behave in a Buddhist country.

Muang Kulaypan Hotel has is affiliated to the Global Hotel consortium Design Hotels. The Hotel shall be featured in the Planet Hotels & Resorts brand of the Group.
As you may know, design hotels is a consortium of over 200 design-led hotels and resorts worldwide and provides a collection of "signature" properties which are considered to best reflect and define the character of a particular city or region. The Group features the properties in several brands: design hotels, which represents urban chic and its leisure offshoot design destinations; Planet Hotels & Resort, the affordable style; and style   hotels, where the classical merges with contemporary. Individuality and creativity are crucial to the brand concept, aiming to reach a broader target group, seeking an alternative to the mainstream.

The Setting  

Situated on Koh Samui's north Chaweng beach, renowned as the most picturesque in Thailand with its powder fine white sand and crystal clear waters, Muang Kulaypan Hotel harbors a 100 meters beach frontage, commanding a fabulous view of the sea and offshore islands.  
The original shape of the land has been preserved as much as possible. Ancient coconut trees (over 60 years old) were kept to maintain the authenticity of the location. Many trees are incorporated within the design of the Hotel.
The expansive and uncluttered garden is representative of the simplicity of life one finds when one is open to it. It brings a feeling of peacefulness and serenity that luxuriant vegetation may not express so effectively. Placed throughout the Hotel’s garden and walkways are numerous bonsai trees, a parallel to the Thai service where each Guest is taken into personal consideration, with care.
