The Library
Modern minimalist with literary branding throughout. Every space, guest room, and facility has a book-themed name. Quiet and contemplative by design — the property deliberately contrasts the chaos of Chaweng just outside its gates.
Book a Secret Pool Villa if the budget allows — the entrance is disguised behind a wall panel, which guests consistently describe as a memorable arrival moment.
Why It Matters
The Red Pool is genuinely iconic — mosaic tiles in orange, yellow, and red that photographers and design lovers seek out specifically. The hotel also operates a real library (The Lib) stocked with over 1,400 books and films guests can borrow. The largest villas (The Writer, The Editor) are adults-only and sit at 278–359 sqm with private pools, gyms, and outdoor cinemas.
The Library sits directly on Chaweng Beach — one of Koh Samui's busiest strips — yet somehow feels a world away from it. Forty-six studios, suites, and pool villas are spread across 12,800 square meters of protected land, all done up in stark white with black lacquer accents and pop-culture flourishes. The headline act is the signature red-tiled swimming pool, which has been singled out by Condé Nast Traveler and Tripadvisor as one of the most spectacular hotel pools in the world.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
1-Bedroom Secret Pool Villa
The entry point into the Secret Chapters — the private villa category. Entrance is deliberately camouflaged in the compound walls, so you have to find the hidden door. Inside: 220 sqm with a full dining room with pantry, outdoor Jacuzzi, 8-meter private pool, oversized tandem rain shower, and his-and-hers walk-in closets.

Adults-only villa designed specifically for couples. At 278 sqm it includes a dedicated reading room (fitting, given the brand), an outdoor sala, Jacuzzi, and 8-meter private pool.
