Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

I visited with my family for a week as part of a tour of Thailand. Honestly a small paradise on this earth. I wish we could have stayed for a month! For those traveling with kids, the Kids Club was great for spending time in during the hottest hours of the sun (my kids are 2 and 5). The golf buggy service around the resort is great too. The rooms immersed us in a relaxed but luxurious vibe, the food was generally good, the location was a 5 to 10 minute grab ride from everything, or a leisurely stroll up the beach. We spent many hours chilling by the pool, where the staff are very attentive. We ate frequently at the restaurant where Irene was a top host. While there were so many highlights, I wanted to specifically thank Fern on the front desk, who made my two daughters feel like royalty every time she saw them. (All the staff were great, but she definitely stood out). The girls loved feeding the fish! If we come back to Koh Samui, we will definitely stay here again

We had an amazing 2 week stay in this wonderful hotel. The setting in the wonderful gardens down to a private beach is really lovely. Without a doubt the most enjoyable part was the staff. They are truly really lovely genuine people who all do everything to make your stay just wonderful. The breakfasts are amazing enhanced by the wonderful service of all of the staff. We got to know many of them which was a joy. Irene the hostess is so lovely with her lovely team 😘She seamlessly ensured everyone was looked after everyone. Mint was also so lovely to us 😘and Pra thank you so much so appreciated your hospitality.

We absolutely loved our stay at Anantara! Everything was beautiful, spotless, and incredibly relaxing from start to finish. The real highlight, though, was the staff — always smiling, genuinely warm, and so attentive that they felt like old friends by the end of our stay. And the spa massage? Incredible. Yes, it’s pricier than the ones outside the resort, but it’s a true luxury experience and 100% worth it. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

Best location in Koh Samui, if you ask me! It’s just far enough from the busiest part of the city to give you the best of both worlds: peaceful serenity, yet bars and restaurants are only a short walk away. We booked the room with the small pool and it was simply amazing. Very quiet, with incredibly comfortable, big fluffy beds. The breakfast was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had: huge buffet selection plus an excellent made-to-order menu. I also loved the weekly activity calendar filled with sports and entertainment options. Also the pool we thought looked a little smal on the pictures but in reality it’s very long and overlooks the ocean. I did a lot of swimming during our stay :) The hotel staff were extremely helpful and always smiling. Fantastic hospitality, and I would absolutely recommend staying here. We checked so many places before booking, and this one exceeded all our expectations.

Dear Anantara Team, We were your guests from September 1, 2025, to September 11, 2025, and were thrilled with the excellent service. Irene, in particular, was extremely courteous and helpful and was always able to assist us. We think the hotel is in a perfect location, far enough away from the party scene to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, but close enough to go out and party when you feel like it. The party scene, shopping mile, and massage salon can be reached by open taxi for about 150 baht. The private beach is also very relaxing and quiet. The grounds are and will be very well maintained. The cleaning ladies are also very attentive and take great care of the rooms. The free Muay Thai lesson was also great. The training was exhausting but very interesting, and I can only recommend it. All in all, we were and are totally thrilled with this resort, even if there is one small downside: it was my wife's birthday during our trip, and unfortunately this was forgotten. While other guests were celebrated, my wife received no congratulations. We are convinced that we will definitely enjoy the great service again in the coming years. Many thanks again to the entire team, especially Irene.
