Poppies Samui
Thailand, South East Asia
Chaweng
This Thai-style hotel is very nicely located on a secluded side of the south end of Chaweng beach. This beach resort offers its guests the best sandy beach of the Gulf of Siam. The town centre is approximately a 5-minute walk from the premises, where a variety of bars, restaurants and night clubs can be found. Koh Samui Airport is 7 km away.
Poppies is the very first hotel on Samui to be going green in terms of Plastic Bottles. We will provide each guest with a water bottle made from stainless steel and logo with Poppies and Samui. This water bottle may be filled up at Poppies resort and more than a dozen other cafes and shops on Samui for no charge. There is a one time charge for the bottle of 220 baht. The bottle may be taken home by the guest as a souvenir.

A slice of heaven in chaotic Chaweng
We had struggled to find somewhere that looked perfect and had initially ruled out Chaweng as being too busy but read that the Anavana end of the beach was quiet. The area outside the hotel is what you would expect from a small Thai town, laundry, massage etc. I had a good pedicure in the place directly opposite.
It’s about 10 mins into chaotic central Chaweng and fisherman’s village.
The hotel itself is beautiful. Once you enter the reception area the staff are warm, friendly and efficient. The grounds are spectacular, constantly being maintained with a little stream running through with HUGE koi in several pool areas.
We had bungalow 103, near pool and restaurant but set back enough to feel really private. The bungalows are a good size with nice terrace area and chairs. Bed comfortable and generous bathroom with covered outside opening into bathroom which was quirky.
It right on the beach so having breakfast and lunch is a pleasure. Breakfast staff lovely, Lek remembered our drinks order after just one day. Happy hour 5-7pm
Good value. Loved our bar man but didn’t get his name - he makes the best white wine coolers. Beach access, there are plenty of sunbeds, towels provided and iced water regularly topped up. Beautiful beach and sea warm. Food in restaurant was good with guest discount.
We also had a spa massage which was also lovely and the staff super friendly.
We couldn’t have a late checkout but a shower room and towels were provided. The hotel also provides complimentary airport pick up and drop off.
We had been travelling for 2 weeks prior to arriving in Koh Samui so this was the perfect chilled end to our trip.
Not connected to hotel at all but we did see iguanas being used as photography props in fisherman’s village. Please be aware that tourists should not support this exploitation of animals.

Perfect Thai hospitality
We stayed for a week at Anavana Beach Resort in July 2026 and it was fantastic: very friendly and helpful staff, beautiful beach, comfortable accommodation, peaceful surroundings. I thoroughly recommend a visit.

Anavana Beach Resort excels again!
Almost four weeks ago, for the third consecutive year, I arrived at Anavana Beach Resort, with my family joining me the following day. We have known and kept in touch with Ame for almost 20 years, so it was wonderful to see her again and to be welcomed back by the incredible team at Anavana.
The magnificent gardens, with large trees, tropical plants, streams and stone walls, provide a peaceful retreat from the world outside. It is the perfect place to rest, relax and recharge.
It is no surprise that Anavana Beach Resort continues to receive so many awards, including in 2026. Once you stay there, you immediately understand why.
The staff are expertly led by Ame, whose experience, warmth and leadership ensure every guest receives the highest level of care and attention. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and genuinely helpful—nothing is ever too much trouble. If they notice something they can assist with, they simply do it. Their initiative, kindness and professionalism are truly exceptional.
This charming traditional Thai resort, perfectly positioned on Chaweng Beach, is beautifully maintained. The gardens are immaculate, the beach is kept pristine, and any issue is attended to promptly. The housekeeping team is efficient, thoughtful and always willing to help. Walking into my room to find the beautiful welcome message, and later a birthday message creatively arranged on the bed by Ae was such a special touch.
The beachfront restaurant serves excellent food, and under Lek’s leadership the team provides friendly, efficient and professional service. The bar staff thoughtfully keep guests hydrated when on the beach by regularly bringing iced water—a gesture that is always appreciated.
I enjoyed many massages and treatments at the spa. The therapists are highly skilled and caring, and having access to such wonderful treatments is a bonus and very beneficial.
The reception team is always welcoming and helpful in every way. I was grateful to Chomsay, who made sure I was safe crossing the road whenever I went out. It was such a thoughtful act of kindness that I greatly appreciated.
Thank you to everyone at Anavana for making this another unforgettable stay. Your kindness, care and friendship won’t be forgotten.
Saying goodbye is always difficult.
Missing you all. 💙🩵😎☀️🏖️🙏🏻🌟
