Praise
The site lies just a bit north of Chaweng, on its own corner of the island — so its beach, truly private, has a bit of that Robinson Crusoe vibe, rare indeed on Koh Samui. The accommodations do their part as well, as many of the rooms and villas come with shared or private plunge pools and semi-outdoor bathrooms.

Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort: A New Chapter of Island Elegance
Anantara Lawana Koh Samui unveils a renewed beachfront experience that redefines coastal luxury in Chaweng. Seamlessly blending modern comfort with the rich cultural heritage of the island, the resort emerges as a refreshed destination that captures the essence of Koh Samui.
Inspired by History, Designed for Today
Anantara Lawana’s architecture draws inspiration from the island’s Thai-Chinese trading legacy, brought to life through its distinctive Sino-Thai design. Pool Suites evoke the charm of old Nathon shop-houses, while the Pool Villas—adorned in maritime blues and soft fishing-lamp lighting—channel the atmosphere of a peaceful fishing village nestled by the sea.
A Revitalized Beachfront Retreat
The newly renovated beachfront and pool deck offer a serene escape with sweeping views of the ocean. This fresh coastal retreat is designed for relaxation, connection, and a deeper sense of place, making it the perfect base for both quiet retreats and sun-drenched days.
Dining Among the Trees and Along the Shoreline
Tucked within a 120-year-old jungle canopy, Tree Tops Signature Dining has been thoughtfully enhanced for an even more intimate experience. The newly introduced Cay Restaurant offers refined Thai cuisine in a setting framed by Koh Samui’s dramatic coastline. Ocean Kiss has also been upgraded to provide elegant indoor and open-air seating with uninterrupted views of the sea, while Crab Shack continues to offer relaxed, beachside dining with the day’s freshest catch.
Where Island Heritage Meets Contemporary Comfort
Anantara Lawana’s transformation preserves the natural beauty of Samui while celebrating its cultural identity. From its immersive design to its elevated dining and rejuvenated spaces, the resort offers an unforgettable stay for travelers seeking authenticity, serenity, and style. Whether you're discovering the island for the first time or returning to a beloved destination, this revitalized beachfront haven is your gateway to the heart of Koh Samui.
