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.

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.

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 .

After so many years you still got it Anantara! We came here when our daughter was about 3 and now coming back with both our kids, this resort has certainly made sure to keep up its standards!. We got the family room which had a king bed and also 2 single beds in a seperate room for our kids. Breakfast was amazing and nothing was ever too small or big. It’s good to see the beach now fully open. Very relaxing whether you got a spot at the pool or the beach. The kids club was great. Our kids had a great time and were always well taken care of. Sadly we were too slow to book the spa and it was often booked out The location is great for families or young couple. Not far from the city centre but not too close either. The airport is just under 15 mins which is great. Only thing to be aware off is the food and alcohol prices are on the higher side. I suspect it’s due to White Lotus shooting there which is expected. A special shout out to Kevin who welcomed us and made sure our stay was great.
