Highland Paradise

Highland Paradise is a hilltop restaurant and viewpoint overlooking Chaweng, serving Thai and international cuisine alongside one of the highest panoramic dining spots on Koh Samui. People visit as much for the setting as the food, arriving in the afternoon or before sunset to take in the views across the coastline and the Gulf of Thailand.

The menu features a mix of authentic Thai favourites and international dishes, with cocktails, fresh juices and desserts that are easy to enjoy while watching the changing light over the island. The restaurant is reached by a complimentary shuttle from the base parking area, adding to the sense of arriving somewhere a little different.

One of Highland Paradise's standout attractions is the Highland Swing, where guests can swing out above the hillside with sweeping views below. There are also several photo spots around the venue, making it a popular stop for couples, families and anyone wanting to capture a different perspective of Koh Samui.

It's the sort of place where dinner naturally lasts a little longer. As the sun sets and the island lights begin to appear below, the atmosphere shifts from sightseeing to relaxed evening dining, making the journey up the hill feel well worth it.
