The Anantara Resort Koh Samui is a compelling blend of tranquil beach, Thai architecture, and award-winning gardens within a prime location on a stunning tropical island in the gulf of Thailand. Frenetic pace, daily anxieties, and obsession with time lose their relevance at Koh Samui. Settled on fisherman cove, the resort has the lightness of Zen and capitalizes on an enchanting beach location. Its large, airy rooms reflect the vivid colors of the tropical gardens and contain deep terrazzo baths big enough for two, each with its own terrace-balcony. The spa is a focal point six bamboo and glass-walled rooms allow the view to interrupt the pleasures of Anantara signature treatments. The Italian restaurant boasts 2006 wine cellar and wine spectator awards, offering guests a great selection of wines, while delicious cuisine is served on the terrace above the infinity-edge pool. The hotel was built in 2004.
