Location Suralai's location is nothing short of magnificent. It enjoys its own isolated spot with stunning views in all directions and no through traffic, so all you see are uninterrupted views and all you hear is the sound of birds and insects chirping - or the sound of the state of the art BOSE sound system piping music from our computer controlled library of thousands of different songs and playlists to suit all moods. Some people like to be on the beach, but the owners of Suralai are convinced this is the best spot on the island - though beach access for guests has also been arranged through the exclusive Sala Samui Resort, one of the leading properties on the island.
