Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas

On the quiet side of Koh Phangan, far from the full-moon chaos, Anantara Rasananda sits on a white-sand beach accessible only by private speedboat from Koh Samui. This Michelin Key resort tucks thatched two-story villas into jungle vegetation, each with a plunge pool terrace, vaulted ceilings, and native wood paneling. An infinity pool with a swim-up bar faces the sea, and the spa offers treatments outdoors. Guests arrive for the seclusion and stay because leaving requires a boat.
