ART PARK, IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
Koh Samui
Billed, with characteristic understatement, as the eighth wonder of the world, theXperience is an open-air art and technology park that occupies its own category entirely. Across a series of themed zones — The Playa, Luna, AfrikaBurn, The Woods and Mystic Village among them — the park deploys projection mapping, hyper-realistic sculpture, multisensory installations and a sky bar to create something that resists easy description. The site’s founding conceit is that art should respond to the person experiencing it; advanced technology allows each installation to react in real time to presence, movement and mood. Families, couples and solo visitors all find their footing here, which is harder to achieve than it sounds, and the dining offer is thoughtful enough to merit its own visit.
