Vana Belle, A Luxury Collection Resort, Koh Samui

It’s an amazing place – we loved everything about our stay! The beach is beautiful and always clean, with plenty of sunbeds available at any time. The pool is also very nice and relaxing. The staff are truly exceptional – incredibly hardworking, friendly, and polite. Breakfast was very well organized and enjoyable each morning. While the dinners at the hotel weren't our favorite, it really wasn’t an issue – there are plenty of fantastic local spots nearby, like PhenSiri, where you can enjoy delicious Thai food. A special thank you to Chika, the hotel manager, who went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We’re very grateful!

We had the most amazing stay at Vana Belle. Every single employee we met was friendly, smiling, utmost helpful and making sure we had everything we needed. We were surprised with balloons, a cake and prosecco as we spent our honeymoon there. Our suite was spacious, spotlessly clean, had its own private pool and very nice amenities. The pool and beach area were clean, the water and beach lovely, perfect to relax. The breakfast was outstanding: a menu with hot dishes (savoury and sweet) and a buffet that offered everything one could imagine. We also had dinner at the hotel: once for their "fish market" which is fresh fish and seafood barbecue - amazing!, and once for Christmas Eve which was a dinner at the beach with amazing food (the variety was incredible) in a very romantic atmosphere. Thank you to everyone at Vana Belle for making our stay so memorable. If I could give 20 points instead of 10, I would.

We spent four unforgettable days at Vana Belle in late October, staying in the Grand Villa Pool Suite, the property’s largest suite. From our bed, we could look out across the infinity pool to a stunning, uninterrupted view of the sea. The tranquility and positive energy from this view were indescribable—it was pure paradise. Vana Belle offers luxury at an unparalleled level, and the hospitality was beyond anything we could have imagined. Our butler, Frang, provided service that was nothing short of exceptional, attending to our needs around the clock. Every request, however specific, was met with ease and enthusiasm. Frang and the entire staff were solely focused on ensuring we had the smoothest, most enjoyable stay possible. Frang’s courtesy, attentiveness, and natural hospitality made our experience feel truly special. For vegetarians, Vana Belle is an absolute delight. We were spoiled for choice, with a range of dishes that made each meal memorable. Breakfasts were a particular highlight, featuring freshly prepared puris, parathas, and flavorful vegetables (like aaloo and daal) that made us feel as though we were back home. The avocado toast, Greek salad, and vegetable fried rice were some of the best vegetarian dishes we've ever had, even surpassing our experiences in the UK. One morning, the staff surprised us with an eggless cake that left us all speechless—it was a unique and delightful touch. Dinner portions were generous, and the quality of the vegetarian Thai cuisine was superb. We found ourselves returning to favorite dishes night after night. The level of care and attention that went into preparing our meals, particularly for a vegetarian diet, was truly Michelin-star quality. The courtesy of the staff was evident in every interaction. Vana Belle is truly in a league of its own—an experience that exceeded every expectation. We cannot recommend it highly enough for those seeking a luxurious and unforgettable retreat.

Everything was just perfect. The staff was so nice and kind to us. My husband surprised me with a romantic dinner and they arranged it on the beach, with lights, petals and a private waiter. We didn’t have any problems. The food was very good and many choices on the menu. The beach was quite small but it is how we prefer it. The main pool was very clean. Our room looked just like the pictures. I recommend this resort 100%! Perfect place for the honeymoon.

Vana Belle is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Thailand. While the country offers an abundance of luxury and ultra-luxury accommodations, it is rare to find one with a consistently swimmable sea. Vana Belle stands out as one of those exceptional places. The bay where it is located is minimally affected by tides, ensuring the sea level is always perfect for swimming. The water is remarkably clear and clean, and the expansive beach is covered with fine, soft sand. Additionally, the staff is attentive and provides excellent service, enhancing the overall experience. If you are looking for a combination of luxury and a perfect beach experience, Vana Belle is the ideal choice
