| Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort |
A Beautiful Blend of Heritage and Luxury
The resort’s design takes inspiration from the traditional Sino-Thai shophouses of Nathon Old Town, a nod to Koh Samui’s rich Chinese merchant heritage. Anantara Lawana now offers 122 luxurious guest rooms, suites, and pool villas, each thoughtfully designed to reflect the island’s unique cultural identity. The resort’s Anantara Pool Access Villas boast maritime-inspired interiors, while the Anantara Pool Suites feature bird motifs, celebrating Koh Samui’s iconic bird-singing competitions.
For families and groups seeking more space, the resort’s Four/Five/Seven Villas Anantara Lawana Residences provide an ideal retreat. These expansive residences are centered around a shared lap pool, offering a harmonious balance of privacy and togetherness for multi-generational holidays. The expansive balconies and elegantly appointed interiors create an idyllic setting for guests to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the island.
A Transformed Beachfront and Pool Deck
The resort’s pool deck and beachfront area have undergone extensive enhancements. A new bamboo deck now replaces the previous wooden deck, adding a modern yet eco-friendly touch to the space. Refreshed pool tiles and restored greenery surround the pool and beach, while comfortable sand loungers invite guests to relax and soak in the sun. In keeping with local regulations and the resort’s commitment to sustainability, the natural beauty of the beach remains untouched, ensuring the preservation of Samui’s pristine coastal environment.
Elevated Dining Experiences
Anantara Lawana's dining offerings have also been elevated, with significant enhancements across four of the resort’s signature dining venues. The newly introduced Cay Restaurant is a culinary highlight, celebrating the island’s Sino-Thai heritage. The menu focuses on local, sustainable ingredients and traditional cooking methods passed down through generations. Guests can enjoy home-style Thai dishes, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and family-style dining in the traditional Thai “Kub-Kao” approach. Signature dishes are crafted using freshly squeezed coconut milk and in-house curries, creating a flavorful and authentic experience.
Ocean Kiss, the resort’s beachfront restaurant, has been completely revamped to offer both air-conditioned indoor seating and outdoor dining with breathtaking views of the sea. The updated dining space features a versatile buffet setup for breakfast and all-day dining, along with a cold room that serves as a private dining area for intimate gatherings or larger family meals.
For those seeking romance and sophistication, Tree Tops Signature Dining is Koh Samui’s only treetop dining venue, set within a 120-year-old canopy. The venue has been refurbished to provide an even more intimate and luxurious experience. Guests can indulge in one of two new eight-course set menus, “A Symphony of Sea & Land” and “Garden Symphony,” each highlighting the island’s rich natural resources and diverse culinary offerings.
New Experiences for Every Guest
The resort’s renovation extends beyond physical spaces to include a range of new guest experiences designed to immerse visitors in the natural beauty and culture of Koh Samui. The Eco-Island Kayak Exploration offers guests the chance to paddle through the surrounding islands, rock formations, and vibrant reefs, reconnecting with nature in a tranquil setting.
The Green Pathways Experience provides a deeper understanding of the resort’s commitment to sustainability, allowing guests to learn about the resort’s on-site organic gardening efforts, including bamboo charcoal production and composting. This initiative reflects Anantara Lawana’s dedication to eco-conscious hospitality and its focus on using locally sourced, sustainable ingredients in its culinary offerings.
Sustainable Landscape Design
Anantara Lawana’s landscaping has also undergone a transformation, with a focus on sustainability and the integration of edible plants. The resort’s new gardens feature several plants that not only enhance the resort’s aesthetics but also play a role in the culinary experiences at the resort’s restaurants. Key additions include the Golden Shower Tree, whose leaves feature in signature dishes, and the Lime Tree, whose fruit is used in Thai cuisine. Other additions like the Garuda’s Claw Tree and Cha-Plu Tree provide fresh ingredients for Southern Thai dishes, while the Sea Cane Tree enhances desserts while supporting the coastal ecosystem.
The resort’s landscaping initiatives, including the use of organic fertilizers and diverse plant species, align with its broader sustainability goals, offering guests a visual and culinary journey through Koh Samui’s natural beauty.

Frederic Kolde, General Manager of Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, expressed his excitement about the resort’s reopening. "At Anantara Lawana, we are constantly looking for ways to enhance the guest experience.
