Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas

The 8 New Keys in Thailand are Among the Most Beautiful Hotels in the Country

"Accessible only by private speedboat from Ko Samui, this quieter paradise on Thong Nai Pan Noi tucks villas behind coconut palms with plunge pools, garden terraces and ocean-facing decks—some with direct beach access—and balances an elegant yet down-to-earth aesthetic of native wood, vaulted ceilings and deep red accents. Days here unfold with sunrise yoga on the beach, Thai massages in outdoor spa salas, cocktails at the swim-up bar and teppanyaki dinners at Yukinoya; with breathtaking views, personalized service and a rhythm set entirely by nature, it feels cinematic, serene and perfect for retreat and restoration." - The MICHELIN Guide
