Avani + Samui Resort

Located on the southernmost part of Koh Samui island, the gay-friendly, five-star Avani+ Samui Resort offers romantic stays on the white sands of Pang Ka beach.

Pool villas, each with a private pool and living area, and cosy rooms with balconies feature flatscreen TVs, Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning, and are uniquely designed to offer a sense of privacy.

The resort’s restaurants and bars make the most of Avani’s ocean-side setting with relaxed alfresco dinners by the beach, rooftop sun-downers and romantic in-villa dining on offer.

Guests can also unwind at the resort’s swimming pool, have a quality workout at the gym, enjoy a kayaking spot, or re-balance with signature treatments at Avani Spa and yoga on the beach.

There are plenty of leisure activities to break up lazy days of poolside lounging – Thai cooking classes, temple explorations, snorkelling by the nearby Koh Matsum island or quality time with free-roaming gentle giants at Samui Elephant Kingdom.

Avani offers free longtail boat trips to Koh Matsum island (taking roughly 15 minutes). Daily transportation to Lamai Beach, Chaweng and SEEN Beach Club is available for guests looking to explore the island.
