An oasis of a resort. The nature is beautiful and the attention to detail is outstanding. We stayed here for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time.
The staff are excellent and very friendly.
The rooms are clean and comfortable.
The sea was very changeable and is dependant on the weather. It can be completely calm, clear and turquoise one day and the next day it can be very rough with large waves.
I would definitely recommend this resort. 10/10

Our stay at Anavana was lovely. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. There were also a few activities on at the hotel that were free to participate in. A few cultural dances, mini cooking class and krathong making which we really enjoyed. It was lovely to get involved in the culture. We would definitely recommend a stay at Anavana

This place is a little slice of heaven on the Koh Samui Beach. The bungalows are excellent with very comfortable beds.The bathrooms are unique, stylish, and all amenities. The on property restaurant serves amazing foods of both Asian and western influence with an amazing breakfast. Then there is the spa that has amazing massage therapists. I'd swear thwy have magical hands! Nataya is the absolute best! There is a slight language barrier, but Google Translate is your friend. Overall amazing and we already have plans to return next year!

A wonderful small resort in Chaweng. Very nice spacious rooms, private beach, amazing(!) service, great breakfast and nice bar. Nearby: Very good local restaurants serving real Thai food, massage shops, fruit shop, 7 Eleven. Located on the quite part of Chaeng and only 7 minutes by Songthaew from the shopping center. We will be back.

Really lovely stay. We relaxed in this little oasis for 7 days during Christmas and we really had a great time. The little bungalow are very spacious. Bathroom is amazing. Bed super confortable.
We rented scooters across the road as soon as we arrive to have complete freeedom.
The restaurant was super good and breakfast was perfect. Great omelette..:)
I think the private beach is one of the nicest with natural shadow from the trees.
What is amazing is how close you are from the Main Street for dinner, shopping and massage and you can’t hear anything at all.
I wanted to be not too far from the activities and also a bit further away to relax and I am glad I stayed there.
Finally the team working here is just amazing and the night they organised for Christmas Eve was really outstanding.
Overall I enjoyed my stay a lot..:)
Thank you everyone

We had a wonderful one-night stay at Anavana Hotel on our way back to Singapore from Koh Phangan. This beautiful beachfront property is surrounded by lush gardens, and the traditional bungalows are charming and well-maintained, offering a cozy and authentic experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making our short stay more enjoyable. We especially loved the delicious margaritas and the relaxing massage place just across the street—a perfect way to unwind.
Breakfast was okay (French toast/pancakes weren’t great), and could have included more variety of food options. FYI there were quite a few mosquitoes, so we were constantly spraying ourselves with insect repellent. Other feedback would be to help guests rent scooter bikes, so they don’t have to lend their passports to dodgy scooter companies on the street.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and would recommend Anavana to anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront escape in Chaweng beach.

What was not to like? One of if not the best on Chaweng or Koh Samui. I read hundreds of reviews of hotels with 5 stars which were poor. This hotel is not one of those. It is brilliant. Great staff, great rooms, brilliant location and at the best beach. Rooms are spacious, Spa brilliant, food very good with enough breakfast options, happy hour with Pong, lovely beach with comfy beds, staff are fantastic. It is not 5 star but it packs a lot of punch. We as a family loved it and we were sceptical prior. Go on and book this.

Anavana Experience
The room was really great! We love the cottage concept, while still maintaining the luxurious feeling. The staff are friendly and speak (relatively) good English. The whole place was serene, although it was full of bird chirps in the morning. The location is also the best, it was really peaceful to go for a walk on Cha Weng Beach in the morning or evening. It was close to a lot of cool places and even inches away from a Seven-Eleven.
However, we also note a few things during our 6-night stay. The food was not as good, considering the price. The pool was spacious, but they didn’t have a lot of space to put the sunbeds (they put us in an “awkward” position because the normal ones were taken). They also don’t have a roof on the outdoor walk, so it was a bit inconvenient when it rained (I read the other’s review here and they complained about the same thing, so I think it’s about time they do something with this...). During our checkout process, they also didn’t have an EDC machine, so we could only pay by cash.

I really enjoyed my stay here for the most part. The hotel has lovely grounds with private bungalows and it's right on the beach. There's everything you need outside on the main street: restaurants, bars, massage shops, 7/11, ATM, pharmacy etc and the daily night market is walkable or just a short ride away. Friendly and helpful staff especially at reception and in the restaurant (Lek in particular). I had several massages at the hotel spa - the first one was terrible and actually injured my back (the worst in 30 years or getting massages) but all the rest were with Nattaya who was excellent. The main gripe I have is on the cleanliness of the beach. Chaweng beach is lovely with soft sand and clear water but if it's a bit rough overnight then a lot of rubbish/plastic washes up on the beach. This is not the fault of the hotel, of course, but they were slow, reluctant even, to clean it up. I was at breakfast every day by 7am (good Thai choices btw) and the beach guy at the next hotel was already cleaning up and putting out the sunbeds for guests. Not so at this hotel to the extent that I and other guests cleared the rubbish ourselves one day, and the following day when I asked the beach guy here if he was going to clear the rubbish he said 'maybe this afternoon'. I complained to Lek and lo and behold a short while later the beach was cleaned, it took them about 20 mins to do it. It was a mystery to me that the beach team here didn't look after it better.
