Set within lush, tropical gardens, this luxurious sanctuary occupies a prime location overlooking one of Koh Samui’s most beautiful beaches. Capturing the laid back essence of living beside the sea, the infinity-edged swimming pool practically merges with the ocean and the beautifully appointed suites and villas give the impression of being open to the elements with sliding glass doors leading directly onto furnished terraces.

This resort is home away from home. Just a five-minute drive from the airport, the location is perfect. A beautiful resort with lots of activities and great fitness classes with the most fantastic instructor, Boss, was just amazing, and I very much enjoyed all his classes.  A couple of things to bear in mind, yoga on the beach is a great way to start the day; however, the abundance of mosquitoes does ruin the experience. I found that the insect repellent didn’t have an impact. And the resort does not have a communal steam room or sauna; the steam room is chargeable, and this perhaps should be mentioned on the website. We had a very enjoyable 8-night stay, and it lived up to the other Anantara resorts we have frequented in the past. The service is warm and personal, and the staff are just amazing. There are lots of lovely, authentic Thai restaurants in close proximity to the hotel. All in all, a wonderful holiday, and we hope to return sometime in the near future.

We did 3 weeks here with our 10 month old son and the hotel was very accommodating to support a young infant which made the 3 week trip easy where we felt we had down time and a holiday.
Would highly recommend staying here from the service delivery of the staff to the facilities and ammenities of the resort

What an amazing relaxing resort. Well maintained, spacious, green and I had a great room, the pool access villa. These rooms have two pool beds and a separate dinning area outside. A king bed and a very big bathroom with bath, separate toilet and an outside shower! Amazing! Thanks for having me!
Amazing Luxury Stay

This hotel is a 5 star experience. The property and rooms were amazing and beautiful. The singing bird lounge is like out of a movie. The staff is friendly and accommodating. And breakfast was amazing. We had a great trip and stay here. Also a great location, some things that are walkable and also a quick taxi ride to Chaweng

This is the second time we have stayed in an Anatara resort and it was the fourth hotel we stayed at during this trip to Thailand. The Anatara brand is beautiful however I think the resort needs to look at the price point and what is being offered. All of the other hotels we stayed at were cheaper in cost to Anatara and somehow offered more. The rooms were equally as beautiful and comfortable and the pools and facilities were excellent. However additions like free afternoon tea, free mini bar and free activities are not offered at Anatara - here everything has to be paid for and the cost is not comparatively cheap.
