Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Stay – True Luxury with a Personal Soul My three-night stay at Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort was nothing short of exceptional and will remain a lasting highlight of my time on the island. From the very first moment, the experience felt deeply personal, warm, and refined. I was fortunate to receive a double room upgrade, which immediately set the tone for what turned out to be a truly outstanding stay. The welcome was heartfelt and respectful, accompanied by a private and thoughtful tour of the entire resort. Rather than feeling like a guest passing through, I felt genuinely welcomed and seen. What impressed me most was the human connection throughout the stay. Conversations with the team during breakfast, as well as at the Sandal Beach Bar, felt natural, sincere, and attentive without ever being intrusive. The staff have an extraordinary sense of timing and intuition — always present, always helpful, yet wonderfully discreet. The beach service deserves special mention. The attendants anticipate your needs almost before you realize them yourself. Towels are placed with graceful precision, wishes are fulfilled effortlessly, and everything unfolds with calm confidence and elegance. It is this quiet mastery that defines true luxury. The entire resort radiates harmony: beautifully designed spaces, lush surroundings, and an atmosphere that invites you to slow down and truly enjoy the moment. Every detail feels intentional and generous. This stay was not only luxurious, it was deeply memorable. Anantara Lawana is a place I will absolutely return to — a rare blend of elegance, warmth, and authentic hospitality.

Travelled to Ko Samui as a group of friends and family for 5 days and we had the best time at Anantara Lawana. The resort is just a 10 min drive from the airport and about 10 min drive to Central Samui. From the moment we stepped in, Khun Arthur and Khun Baimon introduced the resort to us and assisted with the check-in process. As we had a family member celebrating her birthday, the resort was so kind to prepare a sweet message and cake for her, together with a token during our departure. Throughout our stay, everyone was very polite and friendly, greeting all guests they see. The team at breakfast service (Khun Mint, Khun Pla, Khun Pop, Khun Benz and many more members whose names we couldn’t get) was very attentive and accommodating, even preparing a larger table for us everyday after realising we were a group. During our stay, we also got to enjoy the many facilities and activities organised by the resort, such as the gorgeous pool overlooking the sea, the fitness centre, the private beach, complimentary kayak and beach tennis rental, muay thai class, spa facilities, live music at Sandal lounge, traditional thai dance for the end of day ritual and even a mesmerising fire show. Resort buggy service, turndown service and bubble baths were such luxury, and we truly enjoyed our interactions and chats with all our buggy drivers and housekeeping team members. We also loved that the resort environment was not crowded and rowdy, so all guests could enjoy the peace and calm of Ko Samui. This has been the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation for all of us, and we deeply appreciate the Thai hospitality we were shown. Thank you to all the staff at Anantara Lawana who made this experience truly memorable. We cannot wait to visit again!

The hotel is located at a small, hard to access part of the beach which makes it almost private to guests. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable, with all amenities one would expect and a terrace where we spent a lot of time when we were "home". The food is a chapter apart. Tasty, well prepared and innovative. Kudos to the kitchen team! Its a hotel I'd definitely recommend in Koh Samui.

We had an amazing stay! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. Our private pool villa was stunning - spacious, beautifully designed, and surrounded by lush greenery. It felt like a true escape. The private beach was quiet and clean, and the location in the north of Chaweng is ideal - peaceful yet close to everything. We had a small issue in the villa, and Eye, the Guest Relations Manager, handled it quickly and professionally. She really went above and beyond. Breakfast was a highlight - rich, fresh, and delicious every morning, with attentive and friendly service. This is the kind of resort you remember long after you leave. Beautiful, relaxing, and run by a team that truly cares. Highly recommended, and we’re already thinking about when we can come back.

After an amazing visit at the Anantara Lawana resort. How would I describe amazing? Perhaps I would start with the great service we have received everywhere. The staff in the reception is amazing and specially Oshin been amazing the entire stay. She is very kind and highly professional and helpful with great advice. Then you have the wonderful service at the breakfast where everyone is smiling and kind, with Irene there to welcome you and find you best place to sit. The food is amazing with vast verity . The rooms are awesome with cool balcony and hot tub you can ask the staff to fill with bubbles . The pool and the beach are great and you can always find comfortable seats. The driver named Moo was very helpful and drove us to the beach/ breakfast since we were located quite far. Only thing missing are free shuttles to Chaweng centre and Netflix on TV. we really recommend this hotel and would happily return .
