KOH SAMUI: Start your day with the colour red and make yourself a delicious Love Smoothie, which has been created by the Hemsley sisters in London. This liquid love song is full of ingredients which put you into gear for a happy day. Then book your next vacation in the THE LIBRARY Hotel on Koh Samui and dive into the red mosaique pool at the beachfront. The mix of blue sky, red illusion water and white sand is a miracle as is the mix of beetroot, blood orange and honey in the morning. Try it and see what happens.
