“A stay here is an unparalleled blend of luxury, exceptional service, and unforgettable experiences”
Nestled in the serene beauty of Koh Samui, Wild Cottages Elephant Sanctuary is an unparalleled gem that surpassed all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an aura of sophistication and hospitality that defined our entire stay. The service transcends the ordinary; it's truly 6-star. The staff's unwavering dedication to ensuring every aspect of our trip was flawless left us in awe. Their attentiveness knew no bounds, going above and beyond to cater to our every whim with grace and warmth. The villa itself exuded opulence, boasting a level of luxury that set a new standard for indulgence. Every detail was meticulously crafted, from the lavish furnishings to the state-of-the-art amenities, creating an ambiance of sheer indulgence and comfort. One highlight was the floating breakfast experience. Waking up to a sumptuous spread served in the tranquility of our private pool was nothing short of magical—a truly unforgettable way to start the day. But perhaps the best part of our stay was the mesmerising experience of feeding elephants. So enamored were we that we couldn't resist returning for an additional night, even after staying elsewhere. It's not just a hotel; it's an essential destination in Koh Samui—a sanctuary where luxury meets unparalleled hospitality. Will Cottages sets the bar impossibly high, offering an extraordinary retreat that exceeds all expectations. For those seeking an unforgettable escape in Koh Samui, look no further—this is an absolute must.

“A little slice of heaven in the middle of Koh Samui!”
Everything - the location is brilliant with fantastic panoramic views of the elephant sanctuary. It’s only a 10-15 minute taxi ride into the more busier local areas. The accommodation is outstanding finished to the highest level. The attention to detail throughout the whole hotel is second to none and has all been executed brilliantly.

The perfect getaway from the beach hustle and a very unique experience like no other place on the island with a high end designed rooms and stunning views of the bay and the elephant sanctuary . The connection with the family of elephants is truly exceptional. Breakfast was absolutely amazing

“Enjoying your pool in a top designed bungalow while watching 3 elephants.”
Elephants in the garden = once in a lifetime experience. Superb food in the restaurant! Super friendly stuff.

As a professional travel agent, travel and stay in different hotels is my profession. I give genuine feedback to help more people to choose to stay in good hotels. After I commented on this property, the general manager and the owner approached me and questioned me why I didn't ask their consent before I wrote the review and also being verbally rude to me simply because I gave a low rate. As a professional for over 10 years, I had never experienced such unprofessional situation and I would like to make it clear why I gave such comment. The property marketed itself as a five-star hotel and the daily room rate is $352 without breakfast. With this rate you can book a five-star property in Paris or Monte Carlo, but they fail to deliver the same standard of service due to the following reasons.

“Memories that we will cherish”
We have made the most magical memories at the Wild Cottage Elephant Sanctuary. We stumbled across this resort in a magazine whilst we were on the plane to Koh Samui. Fate is definitely a thing because this was the only destination we hadn’t booked accommodation for and the hotel had only been open 5 days. Waking up to the sound of elephants, swimming next to them in the pool and feeding them each morning and lunchtime has been the most magical experience. Everything about this place felt personal. It’s not just some flashy hotel owned by a big corporation the owners are here working on the reception desk and serving in the bar. The Thai locals working here are just the loveliest people and I can imagine they are as mesmerised as us by this surreal hotel. I suggest if you’re planning to go to Koh Samui soon you book a stay here and quick because I’m sure in a few weeks time you will struggle to be able to make a reservation without years of pre-planning! Don’t be put off by the lack of reviews! The hotel opened a few days ago and although there is still some work being done on neighbouring villas you will absolutely never get this experience anywhere else and certainly not at the current price. Writing this review is so bittersweet- we are so sad to leave but I feel personally invested in the absolute certain success this gorgeous resort will have.
