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.

Wow. Let me tell you its not easy to wow me but Anantara Lawana did just that. From the service to the room to the beach to the pool area it was stunning. We had a pool access room that had an outdoor shower which I loved. Special mention to the beautiful Jamie at breakfast, she was fantastic. Every single morning she came to me to say hi and anything I needed. She is a real assest . Irene at breakfast who I absolutely loved. She is fantastic. Last but not least Joy at Sandel. She always got us our usual table and went beyone with her fantastic service. One day I was sick and next thing you know they turn up with ginger tea. Where else would you get service like this? We will be returning next year as its my new favourite hotel.

The Anantara chain is one that I would definitely book again the next time I am in Thailand.

Anatara Lawana 10/10

This resort was the best resort we’ve ever stayed at. The breakfast had vegan options which I know could be limited for some places, but this resort had many options! Everything from the staff to the food was perfect.
Beautiful location, amazing staff

Anantara Lawana is in a great location on a lovely part of Chewang Beach. The staff and facilities are excellent and we couldn’t fault the hotel at all. We had a lovely massage in the Spa and Mulan at the front desk organised all our needs and have us greet tips on places to see and things to do.
