PB hotel design editorial

Strung along Chaweng Beach's quieter northern fringe, where Koh Samui's most developed shoreline softens into coconut groves and calmer water, Anantara Lawana Resort and Spa draws its entire design identity from the island's Hainanese Chinese settler heritage — a cultural thread that most Thai beach resorts entirely ignore. The architecture works through the language of southern Chinese vernacular building: steeply pitched clay-tiled roofs, dark-stained timber column structures, latticed screens, and open-sided pavilions connected by water channels and pebble-laid garden paths. At night, the arrival pavilion — a deep-eaved timber hall approached via a narrow reflecting pool — carries the atmosphere of a Chinese merchant's compound, paper lanterns and framed calligraphy completing the register. The 122 villas and suites continue that conversation at close range. Bedrooms are lined in charcoal-toned timber boarding, the four-poster beds dressed with gauze canopies suspended from industrial ceiling rails, olive and ochre textile runners grounding the palette in something more Southeast Asian than specifically Chinese. Where upper-floor rooms face the Gulf of Thailand, bifold French doors open onto dark-timbered balconies framing views across palms to small offshore islands — the water an improbable shade of turquoise that no interior palette could compete with. The beach club works a different register entirely: white-rendered curving staircases and a reflective infinity pool step down toward the sand, the contrast with the resort's Sino-vernacular vocabulary deliberate rather than confused.

"My partner and I went to this amazing resort for our honeymoon for 9 nights. We were greeted and looked after the entire time by our amazing villa host Baimon. We have stayed in hotels all across the world and nothing compares to Anantara Lawana, the pool villa with a sea view, just wow! The service was impeccable and smooth from start to finish, we honestly could not have asked for a better resort, everything was faultless. Along with Baimon, Arthur and Fern also looked after us our entire stay and they were just as amazing, we were always greeted with smiles and nothing was ever too much. From the hosts, housekeeping (Lek was the cutest) waiters and reception staff, we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our honeymoon everything we could have ever dreamed of and more. To Baimon, Arthur and Fern we thank you for everything you done for us. A part of our heart is and will now always be in Anantara Lawana and we can not wait to return to see you all again. Aimee & Dean"

"​If you are looking for long sandy beaches and all-day sun, this might not be the place for you. However, if you want to relax and enjoy nature in a quiet setting with great food and professional service, Anantara Lawana is excellent. ​Contrary to some of the reviews I’ve read, the property is very easy to navigate on foot and the short walks are really not a problem. My advice is to rent a bike to enjoy the rest of the island, then come back here to unwind. The service teams are great across the board and ensure a high-quality stay. A very solid choice for those who value tranquility and a professional touch over a typical beach club vibe."

"The setting on Koh Samui is absolutely beautiful, the kind of place that stops you in your tracks the moment you arrive. Our pool suite was incredible; spacious, beautifully designed. he staff were exceptional across the board, warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making every moment special without ever feeling intrusive. It was the small touches in particular that made all the difference; the kind of thoughtful gestures that show a hotel is really paying attention to its guests. Breakfast was excellent and a wonderful way to start each day and from there it was a short walk to the beach or the huge pool. We felt completely spoiled throughout our stay and could not recommend more highly."
