Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort 

Live your best life

This chic sanctuary oozes calm and class in a peaceful setting at the top of Chaweng Beach.

Cool interiors mingling with tropical greenery and pool villas that save the best sea views just for you – you wouldn’t think that Anantara Lawana was just at the top of Chaweng Beach, one of Koh Samui’s best and busiest beaches. This best-of-both-worlds resort is far enough to escape the buzz and close enough for you to join in. It’s just a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride to see what the fuss is about down at the beach’s buzziest stretch, with scattered thatched-roof salas and memorable dining experiences waiting back at your hotel.

Why we love Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

  • It’s on a rare quiet spot on Chaweng Beach, so you get peace when you want it and bustle when you want a change of pace

  • For award-winning Thai and European food with a view, you can dine in one of eight private salas tucked away in the treetops

  • The chic rooms and villas are generously proportioned, and many of them have a private or semi-private outdoor pool

  • As well as the superb Anantara Spa, the excellent wellness offering includes yoga sessions, Pilates classes and T'ai Chi

If the high-end Anantara brand and excellent location weren’t enough, the Tree Top Signature Dining experience single handedly puts the hotel on the island’s fine dining map. Artistic European-Asian food is brought to you in your personal sala with a side of sea views. It’s the kind of romantic setting that’s booked in advance for anniversaries and honeymoons and becomes the highlight of most people’s stay. Private dining experiences don’t stop there either; Anantara’s Dining by Design concept is all about secret dining set-ups for two, like night picnics on the sand or a table in the middle of a candlelit garden. All food is of exceptional quality, including the seafood at Crab Shack and at Ocean Kiss, where breakfast comes with a rainbow fruit spread, buttery pastries and chefs on hand for French toast or even sushi made for you on the spot.
