Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort is a five-star beachfront resort on Bophut Beach, a short walk from Fisherman’s Village.
The resort stretches along Bophut Beach on the north coast of Koh Samui, on the site of an old coconut plantation, with Bill Bensley-designed gardens, lily ponds, and a beachfront infinity pool. Around 106 rooms and suites mix contemporary and southern Thai style, most with a garden or sea outlook.
Rooms extend from garden-view doubles to beachfront pool suites, including a two-bedroom for families. Dining has been refreshed recently, led by Guilty, a South American grill, with southern Thai at Thin Tai and lighter plates at the TĀN beach lounge. The resort works for couples on a honeymoon or beach break and for families, with a kids’ club, pools, watersports, and pets welcome. Fisherman’s Village is a short stroll along the sand, and the airport is about 15 minutes away.
