Koh Samui family resort: retreats for parents and adults

While the kids enjoy their adventures at the Tree House and The Lounge, adult guests can
unwind by the palm-shaded pool, stroll through Bill Bensley designed gardens, or simply relax
on the pristine Bophut Beach.

The award-winning Anantara Spa offers a lush sanctuary with six standalone treatment suites surrounded by tranquil water gardens. Guests can choose from an extensive menu of Thai rituals and holistic therapies, or craft a multi-day wellness retreat during their stay at the resort.

Thai boxing and tactical defence classes are available for all ages at the brand-new boxing ring,
making fitness a family affair.

Koh Samui family resort: making memories together

Families can also explore the island and surrounding seas with curated excursions, such as The
