    Everything was great. Would definitely recommend. Breakfast great, rooms beautiful, private, spacious, bathrooms great, big shower, essential oils for aroma, we had an extra bed in the room and it still very spacious and organized and comfortable. Great pool, breakfast great, lots of options and the options change daily.

    Food wasn’t the best, but acceptable. Breakfast better than dinner.

    Staff were incredible and went above and beyond to help us on numerous occasions. It’s a throwback to personal, devoted hospitality. Located on the quieter but cleaner end of the beach, but still plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby and within walking distance. Would highly recommend, particularly for those with young family.

    Nothing we loved it

    The location was brilliant. Chaweng can be very loud but this resort was away from the crowds but not too far if you want to join the crowd. The grounds are fabulous. The cottages are brilliant. The beachfront is fabulous. Best of all are the staff. If only we could all be like them the world would be a better place. Thank you Anavana.

    A Truly Thoughtful and Exceptional Stay at Annavana

    The breakfast

    Annavana is not just a place to sleep – it’s a destination where you can truly enjoy a wonderful and relaxing holiday. The staff are incredibly attentive and considerate, always making sure that every detail contributes to your comfort and well-being. The entire property is designed to help you make the most of your stay: from the beautifully maintained gardens, lovingly cared for every day by the team, to the individual bungalows that offer both privacy and charm. Each room features a very comfortable bed and a stunning bathroom where essential oils are diffused every morning. You’ll also find handcrafted body products – shampoo, shower gel, lotion – all of which smell divine. The pool is beautiful and the beach access is seamless. A dedicated staff member will set up your beach towels for you and bring you a glass of water every hour, making sure you feel truly pampered throughout your day. There’s also a lovely bar with a great Happy Hour – the cocktails are absolutely delicious – and a restaurant that serves both Thai and Western cuisine, equally tasty and satisfying. Annavana’s location is perfect: close to everything you might need, including shops, restaurants, and the town center – yet just far enough to remain peaceful and untouched by the noise of parties or beach clubs. It strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility. Some evenings during the week, you can also enjoy shows, such as traditional dances or fire performances – adding a vibrant cultural touch to your stay. We stayed for ten days in total, and we genuinely had a fantastic time. As a little bonus, there’s even a gym and a shower available after check-out, which is perfect if you have a late departure.

    Beach towel situation was a little confusing, it seemed by the afternoon they have run out? Also beach beds were put away quite early, even though late afternoon is the perfect swimming temperature! Massages in the spa were just ok.

    Beachfront area was gorgeous,beautiful area for swimming in the sea but also not too busy. Happy hour great. Pool area beautiful, lots of gorgeous plants make the cottages feel secluded. Loved the semi outdoor bathroom. Staff were helpful and kind.

    This place is a gem. 4 nights here after a long journey from the UK via Bangkok and what a place to unwind. Stunning apartment, boutique vibes, spa facilities with massage treatments & a beautiful pool & restaurant with stunning food all right on the beach. The rooms are beautifully done, good air con, massive beds, the bathroom was my favorite - comes with special soaps which smell devine. We barely left the resort it was so good. Swimming & sunbathing while the staff look after you - everything you need for a luxury stay with a very reasonable price tag. Highly recommend. ☀️☀️☀️

    Nothing. I would have liked to stay longer

    I spent a fabulous weekend at Anavana, and everything was just perfect from beginning to end. The manager of the hotel Jimmy was incredibly attentive and made sure I felt welcome and cared for throughout my stay. I was truly charmed by the setting. Although the hotel is located near a lively shopping street, it feels completely secluded, as if you’re surrounded by nature – with trees, small streams, and the sound of birds in the morning. What I especially loved was the intimate and cozy atmosphere. The room was more like a spacious cottage: cool, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully prepared. A fruit basket welcomed me on arrival, and the bathroom was super elegant. The spa itself was also fantastic – definitely worth a visit if you’re staying here. The seaside dining area was another highlight: great food, fast service. All the positive reviews I had read before coming turned out to be absolutely true – and now I understand why.

    I had a relaxing stay at this resort. From the moment I arrived I was greeted with friendly staff and warm hospitality. The resort was well maintained , spacious and clean. The restaurant Pad Thai is one of my favourites. I had a relaxing stay by the beach and the sunbed was comfortable. I will recommend this resort if you prefer a relaxing and serene holiday.

    From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Piew, the wonderful receptionist. The bungalows were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. Traveling with our 7-month-old baby, we truly appreciated the convenience of having both the pool and the beach just steps away. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special and were incredibly kind to our little one. Thank you all for making this an unforgettable holiday for us! Julia, Harry & little Eddie

    We loved our stay here for 4 nights, the location is close enough for convenience but far enough away for a peaceful stay. The service staff are incredibly hard working, the rooms are immaculate and the gardens are well maintained. We loved the bungalow cottages amongst the trees, we really felt amongst nature. I also recommend happy hour on the beach for the sunset is beautiful and later watching the full moon rise. They also have live music on Wednesday night which was excellent and the fire show on Monday night was very good.

    A very well organized hotel. Situated far enough from Chaweng centre to avoid overcrowded neighbourhood but easy to reach it. Accommodation is in nice cottages, located in beautiful tropical garden. The restaurant is next to the sandy beach, serving decent breakfast. Also, possible to have a dinner in the same restaurant with delicious food. I would like to emphasise professional and welcoming staff and a calm atmosphere. Everything is sparkly clean. The manager Miss Ame is making great job. New Year Eve dinner and show were great. Thank yoo.Highly recommended!

    The Bungalow is large and comfortable with lots of little thoughtful extras. We especially enjoyed the oasis of green space around the Bungalow and when we sat outside it was very private. The sound of the frogs at night was brilliant. The staff kindly arranged our transfer and allowed us a late check out and baggage storage. They were very helpful and polite. We found a nice collection of restaurants a 10minute walk left from reception.

    Small boutique resort by Beautiful beach. Amazing staff. Excellent service. Comfy beds. Good size rooms. The best was the greenery around the cottages and running water streams and bridges. Special shout out to happy go lucky bartender , and that towel guy who would make sure they are in place on the deck chair.
