Anavana Beach Resort

Tropical oasis along Chaweng beach. Beautiful grounds and cottage. Delicious breakfast. Incredible, hard working staff.

Loved it all!!!

Everything. Poppies was wonderful. From the beautiful cottages, the landscape, the pool, the beach, the fresh fruit and flowers each day, the always smiling staff, the romantic restaurant by the beach to James the suburb general manager. Bravo!!

I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Poppies is a unique boutique hotel on the Gulf of Thailand. Dining facilities are just off the beach with wonderful food and service. Beach lounges and umbrellas are provided with staff assistance to keep you out of the sun if required.

Wish we had more time to stay longer than the 6 nights!

Anavana is an exceptional property. The grounds are so beautiful with a running stream throughout, koi ponds, and greenery everywhere. The casitas are large and comfortable with an awesome bathroom for me and my two adult kids. Triple rooms are hard to find in Thailand and the casita was great for us. The beach is perfect with gorgeous warm water to swim in any time of the day. This was not the case at our hotel in Phuket that had a lot of rocks. You can walk right in and it doesn't get deep for quite a stretch. We lounged in the water with soft sand, floated, swam and enjoyed the scenery. Great beach chairs with plenty of umbrellas, good food in the restaurant and the service is top notch. We did not have any notes and it was our favorite hotel of three during our stay in Thailand. We especially liked the chill vibe there. All of the guests were friendly but mostly kept to themselves, laid back and not showy. Walking distance to a Michelin restaurant called Phensiri that was outstanding - but make a reservation. Also easy taxi to downtown without the noise and partying. Will return to this property 100% and hated to leave. Bonus: The massage place on the beach a couple buildings up the beach is phenomenal!

Nothing - Anavana was a 10 out of 10 for us.

What an amazing place! We loved the bungalows and the privacy. The breakfast is excellent. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We loved the location. We will be back!!

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.

The property is beautiful and in a really great location. It offers a relaxing and quiet environment while located a short distance from the busy Chaweng area. The rooms are clean, big and comfortable.

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.

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.

Everything about the room was excellent, except for the bathroom. Shower was dangerous and that garden room was stupid. The food in the restaurant was just average.

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. ☀️☀️☀️

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.

Nothing. I would have liked to stay longer

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.

The tropical little thai cottages - felt like you were in a tropical paradise. The outdoor bathroom was unique. The size of the resort - extremely small so you never felt crowded. Eating by the ocean - most beautiful surrounding.

The breakfast buffet selection is the only negative We ate at the restaurants a few times for lunch and it was delicious

The hotel is a little paradise. A real oasis. The staff were all amazing. So friendly and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. A special shout out to Pong at the beach bar. A genuinely lovely man who makes a great cocktail Always with a smile. The restaurant food is fabulous with a great selection. Clean comfortable rooms beautifully decorated in traditional Thai style. The location on the beach was perfect. If you want a small traditional boutique hotel you won't find better.

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

While the property is a little on the older side the chalets are big and comfortable. We loved the outside bathrooms and being right on a lovely beach

There’s not a ton of sunlight in the chalets, but it does help keep them cool.

Small bungalows nestled in Jungle setting.Bobbing in the light waves off beach!

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.

I recently stayed at the Anavana Hotel in Thailand, and it was an amazing experience! The staff were super friendly and always ready to help, making me feel right at home. The rooms were clean and cozy, with beautiful views. I loved the pool area; it was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. Plus, the location was fantastic—close to all the local attractions and great restaurants. I highly recommend the Anavana Hotel for anyone looking for a great stay in Thailand!

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!

Weather was bed for 2 days.?
