Set in the remote southwest coast of Koh Samui, Avani+ Samui lies on a quiet stretch along Phangka Beach, which is best known for its pristine and uninterrupted seaside views. With 58 rooms and pool villas, the resort is an ideal destination for couples wishing to escape the urban hustle or families on extended holiday.
There are two room categories to choose from. Avani Deluxe offers modern stylish establishments with a king or twin beds and a private balcony, while Avani Pool Villa includes stunning space with a private pool and a small deck for lounging. There are also beachfront villas offering glorious coastal vistas, an airy separate living space, and another bedroom.
Essence, the beachfront restaurant, can be your go-to for all-day dining while at the resort. It specializes in fusion fare whipped up from local ingredients. Recommended dishes include watermelon poke bowl, seared seabass served with spiced coconut soup, and massaman curry with lamb. Pair your scrumptious meal with a Samui-inspired cocktail from the nearby Comby Van Bar.
You won’t lack for activities to indulge in while at Avani+ Samui. Start your day with a walk along the beach before enjoying a swim at the resort’s beachfront pool. When you’ve had enough of the sun and sea, escape to the Avani Spa for an energizing Thai massage. The resort also offers a variety of exploratory pursuits beyond the resort (check out the sidebar), as well as fun in-house activities such as beach volleyball and paddleboarding.
