Anavana Beach Resort – Beachfront Cottages on Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui

Paradise of Samui Island

A place with an atmosphere like a flowing river genre, where you can be quiet and relaxed. Every evening during happy hour, I chatted with friends at a bar along the beach. We stayed for three days and two nights, but I'm envious of my friends who booked a three-week stay a long time ago. The staff is kind and the food is good. I will make reservations further in advance next year.

Perfect for 22 years

I have lost count the number of times we have been here, firstly as Poppies back in 2004 and now as Anavana. Despite the change in ownership, the hotel retains as much of its charm and many original staff who treat you like family and are an absolute joy. Immediately you arrive "home" and walk through the glorious pathways listening to the koi swimming, and just get bigger every year, you are instantly transported into relaxation. But if you need further assistance, the spa is so welcoming and yesterday's massage must rate as one of the best ever. All 24 cottages are an oasis of calm, not just a room to sleep in. The food is gorgeous, I could happily eat my way through the entire menu and not find anything I didn't like. If Pong at the bar ever stops smiling then the world must surely have ended! I would name every staff member if I could but Lek, Jim, Ame, Oud and Pong deserve special mention. I always cry when I leave and have no doubt tomorrow will be any different. Until next time Anavana, thank you for hosting us. If in doubt, just book it, you will NOT regret it. Khun Helen & Khun Nick x

Excellent!

Again I had a wonderful experience. Big plus of this resort and its grounds is that it always feels relaxed and chilled, even when running at full capacity. The food is great, the room feels open and airy and the staff are all wonderful -most of them are very fun to engage with and have a laugh with, even with (or perhaps even because of( (the language barrier. Very fun! Will return again if the price is right.

Great journey

We had a wonderful journey in this beautiful place.

Wonderful vacation

The traditional bungalows are beautiful, spacious, and well-maintained. There are enough lounge chairs and umbrellas available on the beach, so you can spend relaxing days on the hotel's own sandy beach/sea. Furthermore, chilled water was served on the beach at any time, unsolicited and free of charge. The staff is exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always strives to fulfill every wish of the guests. You feel welcome and well taken care of at all times. I had a birthday during our stay and received a nice surprise both at breakfast and in the room. Another highlight is breakfast with a beautiful view of the sea. The location of the hotel also convinced us. It is located a bit away from the turbulent hustle and bustle of Chaweng. At the same time, you can reach the center of Chaweng easily on foot or by tuk-tuk, so that restaurants, bars, and the nightlife are easily accessible at any time. There are also numerous restaurants and shops right in front of the hotel, which makes the stay especially comfortable.

A welcome with a very friendly team who let us in early from our early flight. An extremely pleasant experience from the staff, the outlook, the garden and the relaxed vibe . Rooms/cottages are spread out in the gardens and the restaurant overlooks the beach.We loved it .
