"Koh Phangan is famous for its full moon festival, but on the opposite side of the island, far from the beach parties, the coastline is quiet and pristine. It’s an idyllic setting for one of the region’s most luxurious resorts. Accessible by private speedboat from nearby Koh Samui, Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas is located on Thong Nai Pan Noi, a secluded white-sand beach that’s considered one of the best in Thailand. Rows of chaise longues shaded by cheerful red umbrellas face a dazzling expanse of calm aquamarine water, and just behind a border of coconut palms, the resort’s thatched-roof two-story buildings are tucked into lush jungle vegetation." - Tablet Hotels
