Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort

The Anantara Lawana was simply amazing! We stayed for 5 days, and everything from the rooms to the food was of the highest quality. The grounds are spectacular, right on the beach but with plenty of space. The staff also were completely accommodating at all times, and created a really lovely atmosphere around the hotel. Chaweng town is super accessible, about a 15 minute walk away or a 5 minute taxi. Overall, we had an incredible experience and would certainly recommend!

Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but I don’t feel the resort offers good value for money given its price point. The biggest drawback was the lack of common spaces to relax outside of the room. Compared to other luxury resorts, there were very few areas where families or couples could comfortably spend time during the day, which made the resort feel quite limited. While the staff were friendly and the rooms were comfortable, the overall experience didn’t justify the premium price. For what you pay, I expected more facilities, better communal spaces, and a stronger luxury resort atmosphere. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t consider it worth the price and would look at other options in Koh Samui next time that offer better value for money.

We stayed in the bungalow with a pool and swing. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We enjoyed just sitting on the lounge chairs by the private pool and realaxing. The food in the restaurants was delicious and the variety is outstanding. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Location is great, can walk to stores and market. Right on the beach, so you can take a dip or kayak.

From check-in to check-out, our experience at Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort was truly exceptional. The resort design is beautiful, and the natural touches, such as the fish ponds and the presence of friendly animals, added a very special and charming atmosphere. Our room was outstanding, and we really enjoyed spending time by our private pool. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. The location is also excellent, as it is close to the airport and surrounded by many restaurants and shops. A couple of areas could make the experience even better. Since we spent a lot of time outside our room by the private pool, it would be helpful to provide more mosquito repellent solutions in the outdoor area and keep them running throughout the day. Also, while the resort is located by the beach, the natural terrain makes it difficult to enjoy snorkeling directly from the property. It would be a great added value if the hotel could arrange a complimentary boat transfer to nearby snorkeling spots. Overall, it was a beautiful, relaxing, and memorable stay, and we truly enjoyed every moment.

We’ve just finished a 9-night stay at Anantara Lawana as part of our honeymoon, and we genuinely couldn’t recommend it more highly. Of course, the resort itself is beautiful. The setting, rooms, food, facilities, and attention to detail are all exactly what you would hope for from a luxury resort. However, what truly made our stay special was the people. Every member of staff we encountered was genuinely warm, friendly, and welcoming. We were always greeted with a smile and asked how our day had been or what plans we had. Before long, staff members had learned our names and would stop to chat whenever we crossed paths around the resort. From reception to the breakfast team, restaurant staff, housekeeping, turn-down service, and even the gardening staff, everyone was incredibly polite and seemed to take real pride in making guests feel welcome. It’s rare to stay somewhere where the service feels so genuine rather than scripted, but that was exactly our experience at Lawana. My wife and I could not have been happier with our stay, and it was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. Thank you to everyone at Anantara Lawana for making it such a memorable experience.
