Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

Moritz Nuber

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.

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!

We stayed for just two nights and absolutely loved it! The room was beautiful, breakfast was delicious, and every staff member was so kind and attentive. The hotel’s location is perfect — close to everything yet still feels private and peaceful. The garden and surroundings are so well kept and full of charm. Would love to come back again for a longer stay!

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.
