The Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan is located at Thong Nai Pan Noi on the east coast of Koh Pha Ngan island, just a 30 minute luxury speedboat transfer from Koh Samui. You’ll disembark directly into the crystal-clear waters in front of the resort, and make the short stroll across the powdery white sands. The 64 suites and villas epitomise barefoot island luxury, and offer a choice of garden or beachfront settings. All are beautifully decorated in a tropical Thai style, with ample outdoor living space and deep plunge pools to dip into.

As well as offering direct access to Thong Nai Pan Noi beach, the resort has beautiful, mature gardens and an infinity pool with sparkling views across the bay. When not sipping on signature cocktails poolside, you can kayak, snorkel and enjoy cultural visits to jungle temples as well as the local night market. Not forgetting to pay a visit to the spa – a series of bungalows where you’ll be treated to a wide variety of restorative treatments. At mealtimes, you can savour the flavours of Japan at Yukinoya, or tuck into global favourites at Bistro at the Beach.
