THAILAND 222 www.paradisesonline.com InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort Baan Taling Ngam, meaning "home on the beautiful cliff ", aptly describes the spectacular InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort. Following a 10-month multimillion dollar renovation project, the property boasts luxurious accommodations, seven stunning swimming pools, a private beach with a 150-metre licensed private jetty, world-class dining and an expansive spa raised 120 metres above sea level.

Each boasts a private balcony, expansive bathroom with soaking tub and waterfall shower, and is adorned with unique 'pops' of colour adding a contemporary edge to the resort's strong Thai heritage.

Amber offers a range of delectable Thai and Asian cuisines and features an open kitchen with live cooking stations. Air Bar features a menu of molecular cocktails and unusual tapas dishes. A 150-metre licensed private pier stretches diagonally into the ocean and here guests can dine privately, or charter a signature speedboat for a day's island hopping or a relaxing sunset cruise.
