Highland Paradise

Highland Paradise is one of Koh Samui's highest viewpoints, where sweeping island views, a giant sky swing and sunset dining all come together in one destination. People come for the photographs, stay for the scenery and often end up lingering over dinner as Chaweng begins to sparkle below.

The Highland Swing has quickly become the attraction everyone talks about. Suspended high above the hillside, it sends you soaring out towards uninterrupted views across Chaweng, the Gulf of Thailand and neighbouring islands, creating one of Koh Samui's most memorable photo opportunities before you've even sat down to eat.

Once you've taken in the view, the restaurant serves Thai favourites alongside international dishes, with outdoor tables designed to make the most of the scenery. Many guests arrive before sunset, spend time exploring the viewpoint and swing, then settle in for dinner as the lights begin to appear across the island below.

Although the road climbs steeply to the top, a shuttle service from the base parking area makes getting there easy. Highland Paradise is one of those places where the journey, the viewpoint and the restaurant all come together, making it far more than somewhere to stop for a meal.
