  1. Bill Bensley designed the gardens, which tells you everything about where this resort sits on the ambition scale. Anantara Bophut occupies a quiet stretch of Koh Samui's north shore, and the grounds wander down to the beach through landscaping that earns its reputation on its own. Rooms run from deluxe to suite, all with terrazzo soaking tubs and private terraces. The spa is the real draw for many guests, and Bo Phut beach handles the rest.
