Location

The hotel is located on Bophut beach, a quiet and charming part of Koh Samui known for its cool, upscale vibe. While several restaurants, bars, and boutiques surround the resort, its clever layout makes the most of the surrounding tropical greenery to make the place feel soothing and secluded. This arrangement brings you the best of both worlds, allowing you to alternate relaxation and entertainment. Fisherman’s Village, one of Samui’s most picturesque and best-preserved areas, is just a short 15-minute walk from the resort. Meanwhile, the island’s main nightlife hub on Chaweng Beach is just a 10-minute drive away, placing the very best of what Samui has to offer directly on your doorstep. Anantara Bophut is also extremely easy to get to. Koh Samui International Airport is just a 15-minute drive away, and it’s a 10-minute drive to Bangrak Pier, which is the main connection hub to the neighboring islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao and also has ferries to the mainland.

Style & Design

Anantara Bophut Koh Samui is gorgeously designed in a Southern Thai style, blending modern and traditional elements. Sprawling tropical gardens give many of the suites a jungle vibe, while beachside facilities allow you to make the most of beautiful Bophut. The hotel’s centerpiece, the swimming pool, is especially eye-catching, fringed by palm trees and offering fabulous sea views. The interiors feature a sleek contemporary style, with dark wood furnishings and relaxing beachy palettes. Large windows let in plenty of natural light and allow for lovely garden and sea views from most rooms and suites.

Facilities

Anantara Bophut Koh Samui stands out thanks to its unmatchable wellness facilities. As well as the state-of-the-art Anantara spa, featuring impressive contemporary design among 3,000msq of lotus ponds and tropical gardens, the resort offers tailored wellness programs, healing therapies, and fitness classes including yoga, pilates, and Muay Thai. There is also a very good on-site gym, with a full range of cardio and strength training equipment. During your stay, you can take part in a Thai cooking class, learn to make cocktails, play some tennis, or go snorkeling and deep-sea diving. Of course, if you just want to relax, you can always spend your days lounging by the impressive free-form infinity pool while enjoying cocktails and snacks from the seaside bar. There are two restaurants: an ocean-facing grill and a casual-cool Thai bistro and bar. Of course, there are also many restaurants and bars near the hotel in Bophut if you ever want to mix things up.

Rooms

Guests at Anantara Bophut Koh Samui can choose between rooms and suites, with the latter offering more space and luxury perks. All the accommodation features stylish Thai-inspired contemporary decor, luxe furnishings, and complimentary beach bags and yoga mats. The rooms are ideal for shorter stays and more budget-conscious travelers looking for a luxury treat. Each comes with a private balcony and either garden or sea views. Deluxe rooms have additional space and can accommodate a third person. It’s the suites, though, that really bring the luxury factor. These come with perks like a wine bar, Nespresso machine, large balconies, and large standalone tubs. The Private Pool suite even comes with a private entrance, 2-person terrazzo tub, and your own plunge pool.
