A New Chapter for Anantara Lawana Koh Samui
Anantara Lawana Koh Samui, located on the tranquil northern end of Chaweng Beach, recently unveiled an extensive transformation in November 2024 — ushering in a new era of island luxury. The resort has since been honored with a MICHELIN Guide One Key and ranked among Thailand’s top ten resorts in the Condé Nast Traveller UK Readers’ Choice Awards 2024.
Rooted in Samui’s cultural heritage, the resort blends Sino-Thai architecture with modern coastal design. Refreshed pool suites and maritime-inspired villas echo the island’s trading past and fishing village legacy, while the renovated beachfront and pool deck offer sweeping ocean views.
Dining has also been elevated: Tree Tops Signature Dining provides an intimate, treetop experience under a 120-year-old jungle canopy; Cay Restaurant offers refined Thai cuisine; Ocean Kiss brings sea views with al fresco comfort; and Crab Shack delivers casual, fresh seafood by the beach.
Adding to the resort’s cultural relevance, Anantara Lawana was recently featured in the latest season of The White Lotus, with scenes filmed at its iconic Singing Bird Lounge — further amplifying Koh Samui’s global visibility.
As the resort continues to welcome guests from around the world — from leisure and honeymoon travelers to MICE groups and special events — the appointment of Narain reinforces Anantara Lawana’s commitment to service excellence and strategic growth.
