Inspired by the great Srivijaya Empire, which flourished along the shores and among the islands of Southeast Asia a few centuries ago, the resort is a haven of ease and tranquility. Here, on idyllic Samui Island, The Briza recaptures the spirit of Srivijaya, the lightness and grace of its art, the security and serenity that springs from a civilization mounded by the gentle Buddhist faith. This heritage of a rich and glorious culture is complemented by the splendors of nature. Set against a lush backdrop of palms and forested hills are Samui's superb white sandy beaches and quiet coves bathed by the clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand. All is a wondrous celebration of the exotic.

              Beautifully sited on Chaweng, Samui's most famous beach, and commanding panoramic views, The Briza Beach Resort & Spa offers a pure lifestyle experience. Guests are treated to exclusive personalized service, including butler service, tailored to satisfy individual desires and fulfils every wish for the most pleasurable stay. Matching the warm and caring service of our attentive staff is the sheer elegance and ease of accommodation and leisure facilities designed to provide the utmost comfort and convenience in the most enchanting style. No detail, no matter how small, is overlooked and it is indeed the pure lifestyle of an idyllic tropical island escape that guests relish at The Briza, a veritable paradise on earth.

              On the Indonesian island of Sumatra, directly to the west of the city of Pale bang, are ruins and artifacts that appear to date back to the Kingdom of Srivijaya. Indications are strong that the Pale bang region of south Sumatra formed the heartland of the kingdom.....

              Srivijaya (Sri Vijaya) as a kingdom developed around 500 CE, although it possibly had roots going back as far as 200 CE. In Chinese contemporary writings, the kingdom is referred to as Sribhoja. "Jaya" as a root means "excellence". Srivijaya influence waned in the 11th century. Sumatra was then subject to conquests from Javanese kingdoms: the Singh sari and then the Majapahit. The last vestiges of Srivijaya as a national entity were gone by 1400. Through much of its history, the kingdom was a group of coastal and maritime entities, under the control of the seat at Pale bang, similar to Phoenicia in its heyday.

              Religion of the kingdom was initially Indic, then Hindu, then, circa 425, Buddhism arrived. By the late 13th century, Islam became the Dominican religion.

              Most records of its history are foreign, although from the period 682-686 CE, internal records in Old Malay have been recovered. These stone inscriptions are the oldest extant instances of Malay writing. This was a tumultuous time; many of those writings concerned loyalty, and loyalty oaths, and campaigns against other kingdoms

             Designed in a contemporary recreation of Srivijaya style, accommodation at The Briza comprises exquisite villas that afford the luxury of sheer space and the comfort of amenities blending the traditional with the sophisticated.

             The choice of accommodation ranges from Pool Access Villas, each of 140 square meters, to Beachfront Villas with large private pools, of 200 square meters.
