Anavana Beach Resort

La qualité des chambres , le calme de l’établissement , un personnel souriant et au petit soin . La propreté des lieux

Tutto, struttura molto ben fatta con tutti i servizi necessari per una vacanza di relax al mare

Nulla, tutto ottimo

Highly recommended beachfront villas, a lovely quiet spot but walking distance of the busy bars, fireshows and restaurants of Chewang. Breakfast was fabulous. Eggs cooked to order and a huge buffet with so much choice! Restaurant also great and reasonable! Staff were amazing. Really friendly and helpful. Sun beds for guests on the beautiful beach which was less than a minutes walk from our gorgeous villa.

I like it all!

Die Zimmer sind schön, geräumig und gepflegt. Die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön gestaltet und vermittelt vom ersten Moment an echtes Urlaubsfeeling. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns der traumhafte hoteleigene Sandstrand. Es stehen ausreichend Liegen und Sonnenschirme zur Verfügung, sodass man entspannte Tage direkt am Meer verbringen kann. Der Service war während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts hervorragend. Das Personal ist außergewöhnlich freundlich, hilfsbereit und stets bemüht, jeden Wunsch der Gäste zu erfüllen. Man fühlt sich jederzeit willkommen und bestens betreut. Ein weiteres Highlight ist das Frühstück mit seinem wunderschönen Blick auf das Meer. Auch die Lage des Hotels hat uns überzeugt. Es befindet sich etwas abseits vom turbulenten Trubel von Chaweng und bietet dadurch eine angenehm ruhige Atmosphäre. Gleichzeitig erreicht man das Zentrum von Chaweng bequem zu Fuß, sodass Restaurants, Bars, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und das Nachtleben jederzeit problemlos erreichbar sind. Direkt vor dem Hotel befinden sich zudem zahlreiche Restaurants und Geschäfte, was den Aufenthalt besonders komfortabel macht.

Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt ist der Zustand des Pools. Dieser könnte eine Renovierung vertragen, da teilweise Fliesen lose sind, fehlen oder bereits abgeschlagen wirken. Dies beeinträchtigt zwar nicht den insgesamt sehr positiven Eindruck des Hotels, fällt bei einem sonst so gepflegten Resort jedoch etwas auf.

From the moment you step into Anavana the experience is fantastic. The staff are friendly, helpful and an absolute delight. The gardens and cottages are so well maintained, refreshing and therapeutic. The bar and restaurant are perfectly located seaside with beautiful cocktails and food. Staff are on another level! We have already booked again for next year. Every visit new friendships across the globe are made. Would highly recommend.

Die Lage, das liebenswerte Personal, die gesamte Hotelanlage, das Frühstück

We had a lovely family meal with sound of the waves crashing right next to us. The food was delicious and they made a special effort to accommodate our children.

Prachtige huisjes, mooi zwembad en geweldig strand. Fantastische mensen.

We love Anavana for more than 200 reasons. 50 for each staff member for a start, then the rest of everything else that occurs in this magical retreat resort is honestly wonderful if you love warm ocean good service lovely delicious fresh food set in a charming jungle and a private roomy cottage with your own porch. It is the best place for a fabulous beach holiday that is tranquil, beautiful, clean,authentic, and full of genuine love from the staff, who are like family.As we have been going for years . We are friends with all of the teamespecially after staying for over 2 months. We could name all of the restaurant staff and beach boys, reception and the very kind,thoughtful beautiful manageress( Ame) who brings the best out in all who stays. work, and live there. Everyone is so sincerely kind, we also know well the cleaners the engineers and gardeners because every single staff is like a friend, kind, considerate, professional, respectful, funny, charming, generous, ( our friends greets us, chat with us with love, their not just doing their job but giving with their hearts. It's completely unique nowhere else does this happen that We are aware of. We have spent our lives travelling to every continent and we have been exposed to 1000's of accommodation styles in all sorts of situations in most countries. The world has changed, Anavana is a place to unwind, relax, be kind to yourself and others and enjoy the groomed silver white sand and the sun lounges that are placed where you want them in your favourite spot, by the beach boys,(adult strong men ) . Under the umbrellas and also under the large fig tree if you prefer. We stayed more than 2 months this year because it is wonderful. Every year we stay longer than 6 weeks. It is not the place for people who need action. Despite the weekly fires show along with a night of the traditional music and Thai dance night and the Saturday night serenade by a lovely couple. Don't expect noise, disco dancing, and thank goodness, not the duff duff music. Many other places along the crowded strip have that. Go else where for that type of action. If you are a sincere kind person who appreciates the nicer things in life at a price that reflects brilliant service, remembering you are not in Las Vegas this is diametrically a reverse in all ways to that of Anavana and if your expectations are real, you will have a terrific time, you may not get spinach with your eggs Benedict so put your mind in the right place for you to fully relax, smile, heal, with the food spa treatments and reacquaint with yourself and love ones. You will love this home away from home. This is a considerate place, where you can eat anything you like on the extensive delicious menu. Enjoy a 2 for 1 drink during happy hour with a fabulous cocktail (The best mojhito's ever) in the evening at the casual comfortable beach bar, with soft music and meet other guests for a chat and laugh. We have made genuine friends not only in the staff but from people from Europe, Australia, New Zealand and from all over the world. This friendship is also made possible by the champagne interchange,/ exchange. If you are lucky enough to be chosen by another guest to be part of the tradition of giving and passing it on. You may receive( a friendly part of the club gift of champagne) where you place your name and country on the exclusive list. Devised by guests. The record has only recently been kept, but the art of giving receiving and giving again has been a tradition of Anavana in so many ways. You then choose another guest from a different country to exchange this temporary gift as a way to get to know one another, listen out for different languages, people who give you a smile, and the champagne keeps travelling. It is an honour to receive it, and dare I say a curse to drink it. Made for making friends where you become fortunate enough to become a part of a unique group of special people Who stay with style at a wonderful piece in a secrete paradise. You may see your name or names of previous guests and friends appear year after year. Lucky you if you are chosen. Pass it on quickly to those you like, or would like to get to know. Fortunately this uniquely designed paradise will always be so,,,it is a boutique resort of only 23 cottages set in a immaculate currated jungle setting with beautiful gardens and a water feature that bubbles over 50 metres into a pond containing fish with 2 minuture Monet japanes bridges on the walk (the yellow terracotta brick road) to your cottage. We reserve our cottage 1 year in advance now, but Anavana never can it be over crowded otherwise I would keep this a secrete and never say how great Anavana is. The world is getting too busy, and we love this escape from our winter. This is now our only place to visit after travelling the world, 100 times or more over. We have stopped counting. The ocean is entertainment. As is the boutique pool, which is a little cooler than the ocean. Once upon a time, this was a honey mooners delight. Kids never came, but parents do bring them everywhere these days. You know what your children are like, if they cannot sit quietly at breakfast, where every body gets together over looking the beach the ocean just foot steps away, (incidently the breakfast is delicious, with a selection to suit everyone, tropical fruit,a variety of yougurts, the home fermented is exceptional, eggs everyway and Thai hot and cold cusine all wonderful, with the best tasting coffee). , or your child requires constant action, this is not the place for you. The staff are way too kind to us and deserve respect, as do all the other guests, there are no child minding services here. The cottages are equipped with fridges, and an( inside outside bathroom), in need of a freshen up, but large and totally serviceable. The koh Samui island is often starved of electricity. However, Anavana has its own fully equipped generator, so the air-conditioning can keep things cool and services flow. The holiday is complete when the sun is shining, be aware of the rainy seasons, as the ocean is crystal clear and a gorgeous blue. We had 1 day of rain and a few tropical afternoon showers to freshen everything up. Weather is everything so I hope you have sunshine.

The location was really good and the beach was wonderful. it was not very crowded and the staff was really friendly!

Almost four weeks ago, for the third consecutive year, I arrived at Anavana Beach Resort, with my family joining me the following day. We have known and kept in touch with Ame for almost 20 years, so it was wonderful to see her again and to be welcomed back by the incredible team at Anavana. The magnificent gardens, with large trees, tropical plants, streams and stone walls, provide a peaceful retreat from the world outside. It is the perfect place to rest, relax and recharge. It is no surprise that Anavana Beach Resort continues to receive so many awards, including in 2026. Once you stay there, you immediately understand why. The staff are expertly led by Ame, whose experience, warmth and leadership ensure every guest receives the highest level of care and attention. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and genuinely helpful—nothing is ever too much trouble. If they notice something they can assist with, they simply do it. Their initiative, kindness and professionalism are truly exceptional. This charming traditional Thai resort, perfectly positioned on Chaweng Beach, is beautifully maintained. The gardens are immaculate, the beach is kept pristine, and any issue is attended to promptly. The housekeeping team is efficient, thoughtful and always willing to help. Walking into my room to find the beautiful welcome message, and later a birthday message creatively arranged on the bed by Ae was such a special touch. The beachfront restaurant serves excellent food, and under Lek’s leadership the team provides friendly, efficient and professional service. The bar staff thoughtfully keep guests hydrated when on the beach by regularly bringing iced water—a gesture that is always appreciated. I enjoyed many massages and treatments at the spa. The therapists are highly skilled and caring, and having access to such wonderful treatments is a bonus and very beneficial. The reception team is always welcoming and helpful in every way. I was grateful to Chomsay, who made sure I was safe crossing the road whenever I went out. It was such a thoughtful act of kindness that I greatly appreciated. Thank you to everyone at Anavana for making this another unforgettable stay. Your kindness, care and friendship won’t be forgotten. Saying goodbye is always difficult. Missing you all. 💙🩵😎☀️🏖️🙏🏻🌟

We can not figure one thing out that is negative… this was beyond our expectations! - the BEST staff ! They are all so lovely - superclean rooms - lots of towels - big rooms and great beds - the food was soooo good! - enough sunbeds, staff helps with that and gives cold water at the beach. - this massage was the best! Thank you lovely Dollar. This was one of our best holidays ever! We will definetly once come back. You guys did your best to give us this warm feeling. Thank you so much, lovely reg Stephanie Dimitry and girl Tess Btw they were so lovely with Tess! She loves all of you.

We stayed for a week at Anavana Beach Resort in July 2026 and it was fantastic: very friendly and helpful staff, beautiful beach, comfortable accommodation, peaceful surroundings. I thoroughly recommend a visit.

We have had a fantastic week at the Anavana Beach Resort in Chaweng. Beautifully appointed and clean rooms, amazing pool and well maintained beaches made for a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Service second to none. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thanks very much the Anavana team 😁

As soon as you enter this great place there’s an automatic ‘wow’ effect - a small and authentic Thai style villas scattered in a small jungle - and all of that on the best beach in Samui! Beyond that - the staff is extraordinary and extremely attentive - they have the ability to predict what you wish for and offer it to you. Best breakfast I had in Thailand. Best place in Samui

Sad that I need to recommend it to others so that it’ll be harder to get a room next time.

Das gesamte Personal war unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Am Strand hat man jederzeit unaufgefordert gekühltes Wasser gebracht bekommen und alles wurde schön für uns hergerichtet. Wir mussten uns quasi um nichts kümmern. Das Frühstück war lecker. Die gesamte Anlage liebevoll gepflegt und ein kleiner Dschungel am Strand. Ein besonderes Highlight war der tolle Empfang anlässlich unseres Honeymoons.

Clean rooms, very very friendly staff and the location.

Nothing to complain..

We had struggled to find somewhere that looked perfect and had initially ruled out Chaweng as being too busy but read that the Anavana end of the beach was quiet. The area outside the hotel is what you would expect from a small Thai town, laundry, massage etc. I had a good pedicure in the place directly opposite. It’s about 10 mins into chaotic central Chaweng and fisherman’s village. The hotel itself is beautiful. Once you enter the reception area the staff are warm, friendly and efficient. The grounds are spectacular, constantly being maintained with a little stream running through with HUGE koi in several pool areas. We had bungalow 103, near pool and restaurant but set back enough to feel really private. The bungalows are a good size with nice terrace area and chairs. Bed comfortable and generous bathroom with covered outside opening into bathroom which was quirky. It right on the beach so having breakfast and lunch is a pleasure. Breakfast staff lovely, Lek remembered our drinks order after just one day. Happy hour 5-7pm Good value. Loved our bar man but didn’t get his name - he makes the best white wine coolers. Beach access, there are plenty of sunbeds, towels provided and iced water regularly topped up. Beautiful beach and sea warm. Food in restaurant was good with guest discount. We also had a spa massage which was also lovely and the staff super friendly. We couldn’t have a late checkout but a shower room and towels were provided. The hotel also provides complimentary airport pick up and drop off. We had been travelling for 2 weeks prior to arriving in Koh Samui so this was the perfect chilled end to our trip. Not connected to hotel at all but we did see iguanas being used as photography props in fisherman’s village. Please be aware that tourists should not support this exploitation of animals.

Morgenmaden var virkelig fint, der var alt vi havde brug for. Personalet var SÅ søde! Virkelig hjælpsomme og en lille ting som kold vand på stranden hele tiden, var så lækkert. Maden på restauranten var også virkelig god. Rigtig fine, pæne værelser med alt hvad man skulle bruge.

What a beautiful place. The staff are so welcoming and kind, good food, a true paradise. Do not hesitate to book if staying in cheweng. We loved it.

Fantastic location and place. Best on the beach. Calm and quiet. Good service. Nice rooms. Good staff.

Struttura immersa in un giardino tropicale, ha i suoi anni ma portati benissimo. Molto ben tenuta e pulita. Personale gentilissimo e molto disponibile. Abbiamo avuto un problema con un nido d’api e risolto egregiamente e velocemente.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Anavana Beach Resort! Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and always willing to help. The tropical garden was simply breathtaking and bungalows were tastefully designed, with great attention to detail, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The swimming pool was amazing and the beach was quiet and clean with white sand. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Koh Samui. We would love to come back again <3 Highly recommended!

Nothing:)

It was simply beautiful throughout from the gardens, the bungalows and the beach. I could not fault a single thing. The staff were so friendly and could not do enough for each guest. It sounds corny but it did feel as though you were a guest in their home

Nothing at all it was perfect

I have never experienced such a wonderful resort as Anavana Samui. I couldn’t really believe all the excellent reviews we read before going but they are all true. The whole place is so relaxing with the gardens with plants and streams running throughout and a superb beach with the shallow and warm sea. The rooms were perfect for the 3 of us and my 6ft teenage son found the 3rd bed good. The mosquito nets on the door worked well. All the food we ate was really good. The location is great as it is at the end of the busy resort but a £5 taxi ride or 20minute walk into the centre with lots of restaurants, shops, bars etc. we mainly ate at the ones close to the hotel and the food was excellent. We used grab taxi to get around and it was really cheap. If (when) we next go to koi samui we would not stay anywhere else. If it wasn’t for the long journey from the Uk I would go every year.

A Little Piece of Paradise at Anavana! For the third time this year, my family and I have stayed at the wonderful Anavana Hotel! From the very first minute, we feel like we've arrived in paradise. Every inch of the property is like a beautiful tropical garden, filled with birdsong and the wonderful fragrance of lush greenery and colorful flowers. The staff are incredibly caring and always ready to help with a smile, no matter what you need. The atmosphere at Anavana is unlike any other hotel. It feels like stepping into another world—peaceful, cozy, delicious, and wonderfully warm in every sense of the word. For us, Anavana is our second home, and we are already looking forward to coming back again next year!

We recently had our wedding at Anavana Resort and we’re so happy with our choice. All our guests stayed here as well and all absolutely loved it. The location is perfect and not enough can be said about the staff. From Ame planning everything for us for the wedding right down to the cleaning staff everyone was amazing and made our stay more importantly our wedding the most perfect and memorable time.

This is the second time we have stayed at Anavana and wouldn’t stay anywhere else. It’s like family to us the staff treat you like a relative, from the front desk to the restaurant and other staff members are truly amazing. The location is wonderful surrounded by shops but walking distance to the night life. The private villas and gardens are superb and extremely well maintained. Value for your money. Would highly recommend Anavana and I do Ami the manager is the most beautiful person and is a huge asset to the business. We are so grateful to have found Anavana.

Anavana Beach Resort is a beautiful haven on Chaweng beach, Koh Samui. The moment we arrived we were greeted by delightful staff, who operate with the principle that everyone is family. The premises and bungalows are traditional style and create an atmosphere of serenity, with lush greenery and winding pathways. The food is top quality and served with care. We loved our stay and look forward to returning.

Lo mejor del hotel es la ubicación, la amabilidad del personal y el jardín tropical que tiene en su interior. La cabañas son amplias y cómodas y tienen muchos detalles para hacerte la estancia más agradable.

Las cortinas de la cabaña necesitan ser lavadas. La bollería del desayuno necesita ser de mayor calidad.

When I was planning this holiday, I asked AI I had been training for over a year to recommend somewhere that fitted exactly what I needed after an incredibly demanding year —a place where I could genuinely switch off, recharge and breathe again. It suggested Anavana Beach Resort. At the time, I was dubious as I had built it but I trusted it and booked it without hesitation. I bet that's a first!! Now, having spent time here, I realise AI got something very important right—but probably not for the reason it thought. Yes, the resort is beautiful. The chalet are wonderful, the beach is stunning, the food is great and every part of the property is lovingly cared for. But none of those things are what made this holiday so special. The people did. Every member of the team made me feel genuinely welcome. Not because they had to, but because they genuinely cared. Whether it was remembering the little things, stopping for a friendly chat or quietly going above and beyond without making a fuss, every interaction felt authentic. This holiday came at exactly the right moment for me. I arrived exhausted after a relentless year, needing somewhere to disconnect from work and simply be present again. Thanks to everyone at Anavana, that's exactly what happened. I also leave taking a little of Anavana's and Thailand's wonderful "Mai Pen Rai" philosophy home with me—a reminder not to worry quite so much about the little things. People often say that when somewhere truly captures your heart, you leave a little piece of yourself behind. I know I certainly have. To everyone at Anavana—thank you. AI may have brought me to you, but you are the reason I'll come back. You probably don't realise it, but over the last 10 days you didn't just create a wonderful holiday - you became part of a story I'll be telling for a very long time. Khop khun khrap and see you again soon. ❤️

Great staff. Fantastic setting

Nothing

If you are looking for a great Thai experience then this resort is for you. Amy the general manager and her staff are amazing and look after you so well . The position on Chaweng beach is perfect , away from the busy tourists hotels with it own beach and pool Pong and his beach managers make sure your Sun Loungers are ready for you each day and keep you well hydrated with ice water every half hour The restaurant which also hosts the breakfasts is superb and the food is outstanding There is in-house entertainment and the happy hours in the beach bar are worth visiting Overall an amazing holiday which we believe is the best we have ever had

nothing , it is exceptional

This resort is home from home,GM Amy and her staff ,Leo,Pong,Meowand Keke are outstanding and made us so welcome. Ort and Pong made sure our sun loungers were in place and ready for us each day. The breakfasts are exceptional and the happy hours at the bar are well worth attending each evening I highly recommend this resort if you are wanting a genuine Thai experience and to be treated with such grace all the time To Amy and all her staff , we will be back . All our love Graham and Terri

Once again, we have returned to the absolutely beautiful Anavana Resort. I find it hard to put into words how wonderful our stay was, yet again. There are alot of stunning beaches and resorts in the world but what makes Anavana a cut above the rest is the people that work here. They have become like friends, Ame, Lek, Jimmy, Sao and so many more. Their warmth, genuine care and incredible hospitality make it impossible to book anywhere else in Thailand. I could not recommend Anavana highly enough, a true masterclass in hospitality.

Thankyou Ame,k hun Sai, Lek. Pong, Ice and all the amazing friendly and kind staff at Annavanna. This place is special a real gem and i thoroughly enjoyed staying here again and will be back one day again to soak in the serenity and luxurious surroundings. The service is impeccable and it really is the team that go above and beyond to make this place so special. Warm regards Mel

Really lovely place! The staff was very polite and did everything to make us comfortable! We also celebrated my mother's birthday, and the staff prepared some really sweet surprises for the day! Wonderful, I highly recommend🤍

Tranquil, beautiful resort, close to everything you want or need

I had an amazing experience at anavana, amazing staff, rooms and bar on the beach! I would highly recommend anyone coming to Koh Samui to stay here you won’t regret it!

Great room in a beautifully kept small resort.

Such a lovely hotel ! Gives jungle vibes and the staff are so nice ! , breakfast was great :) and the beach as well ! It’s on the end of the chaweng street so u have much quiet and can relax but still central , I’d recommend for sure

Friendly staff, very comfortable beds and good Food.

Amazing location, attentive caring staff and a resort that feels like your own little home and family, couldn’t recommend enough

The restaurant has a beautiful seaside atmosphere with stunning ocean views and a relaxing vibe. The food is absolutely delicious, with authentic Thai flavors that suit Thai tastes perfectly. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and provide excellent service. It’s a perfect place to enjoy great food while relaxing by the sea. Highly recommended!

Anavana is in a beautiful setting of tropical gardens and walkways, overlooking the glistening sea and white beach of Chaweng. We requested pick up from the ferry and Anavana arranged a bus to collect us. Our check in was amazing, with us being personally welcomed by the Manager on duty in her air conditioned office, as she provided us with a cold drink and gave us information on the hotel and Koh Samui activities we might be interested in. The rooms are stunning and clean and we loved the step down shower with the little indoor garden atrium. The staff could not have been more helpful and the food was excellent.

The staff were great. The food was good and the facilites were nice

The swimming pool was freezing

Gorgeous tropical grounds bang on the beach, very Thai in style, lovely staff & rooms. Feels quite rustic for the cost but still loved it .. best part of Chaweng beach, quiet, white sand, warm sea

It’s quite expensive & the cost didn’t include breakfast. Few areas a bit tired (loose wooden floorboards in restaurant) However we loved our stay, food staff & location perfect

Everything at this beautiful boutique hotel is perfect. Staff, gardens, cottages, food, attention to detail, cannot be faulted. If you are looking for a special place away from, but close enough to the busy part of Chaweng, look no further. We will be back. Thanks for an amazing stay so far 🙏

The property is beautiful, even if it is inside a tropical garden you can see the very good manteinance Made by the staff. The restaurant was very good, the beach beautiful and the staff friendly and very helpful. I reccomend this place.

Sehr schöne ruhige Anlage mit gepflegtem Garten, Fischteichen und Bächlein. Traditionelle Bungalows. Schöner Pool mit Jaguzzi, sehr friedliche Stimmung. Freundliches Personal, guter Service.

Das Essen hat und leider nicht überzeugt, weder das Frühstück noch der Lunch oder das Abendessen. Teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Ein leichter fresh up wäre zu empfehlen, v. a. Im Restaurant: Menukarte, Mobiliar…

We had a very beautiful cottage, with a fine layout. The hotel is just at the beach located in a quiet area. The restaurant is slightly expensive and the quality of the food is medium. They asked if we wanted turn down service, which we confirmed - none of the nights we stayed there, it was provided. Good happy hour at the beach bar. Nice staff

Schönes Hotel inmitten eines tropischen Gartens

Leider etwas in die Jahre gekommen

Extrem nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal, Lage direkt am südlichen Chaweng Strand, sehr hübsche ruhige Anlage

Fitnessraum könnte etwas sinnvoller ausgestattet werden

Tout…

Rien.

Very welcoming and very nice staff, the hotel is very charming, green and quiet and the beach side is beautiful. The swimming pool too. Close to shops.

Tutto

Niente

Food wasn’t great (mostly cooked from frozen). You would expect much better breakfast and lunch/dinner menus

Die Bungalows liegen herrlich wie in einem Tropenwald. Sie sind gemütlich eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts. Der Strand ist super und das Restaurant hat tollen Blick aufs Meer. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und bietet viel Auswahl. Das Personal ist megafreundlich und der Service am Strand mit dem Eiswasser nachfüllen finde ich super. So muss nicht immer eine Plastikflasche gekauft werden da dies auch wieder Abfall bedeutet. Auch gut finde ich das es Glasflaschen im Bungalow hat. Wir werden sicher wieder kommen

Eigentlich war alles perfekt. Vielleicht sollte man schauen das nicht Liegestühle reserviert werden die dann erst am Nachmittag belegt werden.

This was our second time. Great place to be.

Stunning property with every detail included to make your stay feel like paradise, lovely attentive staff also! Me and my wife had a lovely welcome for our honeymoon, we’ll certainly be coming back.

All was great, a little wonderful hotel with an increadible beautiful garden, beach and pool. We enjoyed breakfast (western and asian) and appreciate the service from the hole staff.

Die Anlage ist eingebettet in einen liebevoll gestalteten Garten. Die Cottages sind geräumig und bieten alles für einen entspannten Aufenthalt. Die Lage ist abseits vom Trubel, man ist aber auch sehr schnell mittendrin. 7/11, Restaurants und Massage ist alles fussläufig erreichbar. Mit den super freundlichen Angestellten wurden unsere Tage in Chaweng Beach zu einem perfekten Aufenthalt.

Always a fantastic experience to stay at Anavana. With only a small number of total guests, you’re always assured of great service from the wonderful staff who all feel like friends by the end of your stay. It’s never rushed, always tranquil. The difference between a big hotel where breakfast feels like the feeding of cattle in the barn, to Anavana where it’s relaxed, easy and nothing is a problem. Just one example of many to stay here. Because of the way the rooms are configured, most families with kids would elect to stay in a bigger hotel, and that suits us just fine. Despite the lux feel, restaurant & bar prices are also cheaper than the bigger resort hotels as well. Will be back. Again. And again. And again.

Well this was my third visit to Anavana Beach Resort (Formally Poppies). My first visit was back in 2005 and I spoke so much about it that my brother sought it out and has now been there 5-6 times. There is a reason for that...this is a special place with special people. The individual cottages are quite private, are well appointed with your own porch to hang out on. The grounds are very well maintained by the staff and at times you feel you are in a rain forest. The beach is literally steps away and the beach crew work to keep you well hydrated and the food is great. And as I mentioned the people are special. You feel like you are part of a family...really. Thank you for making our time there another wonderful relaxing vacation: Ame, Jimmy, New, Nun, Pong, Ice, Se, Sao and Amp. Sending a special thank you and hug to Lek :)

What a wonderful resort, tranquil and just so beautiful. Amazing staff, from the gardeners, Beach guys, cleaning staff,restaurant staff. A special thank you to Jimmy & Reception team and to Lek, what wonderful people you all are. You all made our holiday a very special one indeed. Highly recommended. We are already looking at booking again for next year, we will for sure see you again. Rgds Michelle & Michael

If you want a quiet relaxed stay, it’s at the quieter end of Chewang beach.. The staff were amazing, smiling & courteous. Lots of sun beds on the beach.. Pool is refreshing if lacking sun beds…but we were happy to be on the beach..Breakfast was fresh & plenty choice, coffee ordered taken & served not one of those automatic machines where I find coffee isn’t hot enough. We ate one night at the resort, food was tasty & delicious.

Rooms could do with a refresh especially the bathrooms… We had our laundry cleaved twice, was expensive so suggest dropping off locally..

Well, there are practically no words to describe the Anavana beach resort. The stuff was beyond respectful, kind and ready to make every second of your stay magical. My wife had her birthday while we had our stay in Anavana and the way the stuff treated her was beyond my expectations! The moment you pass the reception you are welcome in an amazing jungle. The bungalows are scattered in the area of the resort and in between is an amazing jungle with ponds with huge koi fishes. The atmosphere is something you will never expect and then there is the amazing beach right in front of the resort. Really quiet place where you can relax and enjoy every second of your stay in the resort. They also have daily programs with evening events like fire shows, Thai dancing etc. We even had a one hour Thai lesson where we were introduced to the Thai language. To us the island and the resort are magical but what stands out are the locals and the resort stuff. We fell in love with their kindness and how warmly welcomed we felt there. My wife made the comment that she felt like we stayed with a very caring family instead of a typical resort. The moment I heard it I realised that this explanation was the missing part of why I was feeling the way I did the entire time at the resort. We recommend the Anavana beach resort without any hesitation and we are ABSOLUTELY going back to the Anavana as soon as we can! You will never regret staying at the resort and I can absolutely assure you that if you won't be pleased with your stay then there is something wrong with you and not with Anavana. The only thing I want to ask from all the visitors is respect the resort and their regulations and take care of your garbage at the beach and the island!!! I hope you will enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr gut. Bungalow ist gut ausgestattet und die Massage im Hotel sind prima. Strand war gepflegt und man wurde an den Liegen mit Wasser bedient.

Das Hotel liegt am Anfang von Chaweng Beach. Die Strasse war sehr laut und man hörte leider den Verkehr in der Nacht. Die Bungalows sind etwas hellhörig.

This property is the most amazing and breathtaking place to stay in Koh Samui. The cottages itself , the staff, the buffet breakfast the beautiful beachfront always kept so clean. It’s like things you only read about and seeing movies. You have to experience it for yourself. This was my first time anywhere in Asia and I’m so happy I chose this place. They treat you like you’re the only guest you are treated like kings and queens.

Everyone needs to know about this property!!

This was our third visit to Anavana Beach and again it lived up to our expectations. The hotel sits right on the quiet end of Chaweng Beach and provides a quiet haven from the hustle and bustle of the town restaurants and bars which are close by. There are 20 bungalows set in secluded gardens which offer privacy but are still only a few steps from all of the facilities. The restaurant and bar are situated right on the beach and all of the staff there are always friendly and helpful. There are plenty of sun loungers on the beach or around the swimming pool. We have visited many resorts around the world and this is one of our favorites. We certainly hope to visit again next year.

Anavana is such a magical and amazing paradise to stay in Koh Samui! Starting from the staff and management Ame. The cooks, the servers, the front desk the outdoor cleaning crew, the bartender, the security guard, they made my visit so special . It’s truly a breathtaking experience. The rooms are so unique with Thai decor. Super clean and a great size, the patio is simply amazing to just sit outside and enjoy nature. The beachfront is spectacular and clean. This resort is on the quieter side of Chewang Beach so you get The best of both worlds. This was my first time visiting Asia and I’m so happy. I chose Anavana. They made me feel special and like family. I feel so sad to leave. I will definitely be back.! Don’t think twice on where to stay. You won’t regret staying here at Anavana!!

An amazing experience visiting your hotel, Anavana Beach Resort. When you enter from the street you step into the utmost relaxing place. The bungalows are very nice and the beach is fantastic. Beautiful clear water and sunbeds for everyone (only 16 bungalows). The restaurant and the service is really good. Food is very varied and off good quality. Staff very nice (especially Lek 🙏🏻😊) We would love to come back another time ☀️😎 Can only give my warmest recommendation 👍🏻

Tropical style, the food, the beachfront and the staff

Nothing!!

Where do I start! One of the best boutique hotel we have ever stayed in! Everything was great, it only has 24 cottage’s in beautiful tropical gardens. But they have over 50 staff. The wi-fi is really good throughout out the property, including the beach. The cottage’s are spacious and immaculate, Beds are very comfortable and large. The air con is extremely efficient and quiet. The best thing about Anavana are the staff, they are so friendly and helpful. The restaurant is great and has a huge selection on the menu. Breakfast is good with a good egg bar. And again the restaurant staff are some of the best. The beautiful sandy beach is so clean and the water is warm. It is the quiet part, but a little further along there are jet skis if if the urge takes you. The beach attendant is just great, he brings towels to the lounger and tucks them in. Then brings glasses of iced water. Even if the hotel is full, there are plenty of sun beds available. There are a large number of spas, restaurants,coffee shops, supermarkets etc in just a few minutes walk from the hotel. WE WILL BE BACK!
