About Lawana Ballroom
The Lawana Ballroom
The Lawana Ballroom is Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort's primary dedicated event space, designed to accommodate a wide range of occasions in a setting that reflects the resort's signature blend of contemporary Thai elegance and tropical island character. The ballroom offers a refined interior environment that contrasts beautifully with the lush Koh Samui landscape surrounding the property, making it a compelling choice for those who want a polished, air-conditioned venue without sacrificing the island atmosphere. Natural materials, warm lighting, and considered décor create a sense of occasion from the moment guests arrive.
The resort itself sits on Chaweng Beach — one of Koh Samui's most celebrated and accessible stretches of coastline — placing the Lawana Ballroom within easy reach of the island's main transport links, shopping, and dining precincts, while still offering the seclusion and service that Anantara properties are known for internationally.
Events & Occasions
The Lawana Ballroom is well suited to a diverse portfolio of events, from intimate weddings and engagement celebrations to corporate meetings, product launches, gala dinners, and incentive gatherings. Its versatile layout means it can be configured for theatre-style presentations, banquet rounds, cocktail receptions, or classroom arrangements depending on the nature of the event — with the resort's dedicated events team on hand to advise on the best setup for each brief.
For weddings, the ballroom provides a sheltered, climate-controlled alternative to the resort's outdoor beachfront settings, making it particularly practical for groups travelling during the wetter months of the year. Corporate clients benefit from proximity to Samui International Airport, which receives direct flights from Bangkok and a number of regional hubs, reducing travel friction for delegates arriving from across Thailand and Southeast Asia.
Anantara Lawana's culinary team supports events in the ballroom with tailored banquet menus drawing on both Thai and international cuisines, and the resort's beverage programme can be adapted to suit the occasion, from formal dinner wine service to crafted cocktail receptions.
Location & Resort Setting
Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort occupies a beachfront position on Chaweng Beach on the east coast of Koh Samui, in Surat Thani Province. Chaweng is the island's most connected neighbourhood, with a wide selection of accommodation, transport options, and amenities concentrated along its main road and beach road. Samui International Airport is located a short drive north of the resort, making arrival and departure straightforward for event guests flying in.
The resort's broader facilities — including its pool, spa, and dining outlets — are available to event delegates and overnight guests, allowing a multi-day conference or celebratory weekend to flow naturally from the ballroom to the beach and back. This integration of event space within a full-service luxury resort is one of the Lawana Ballroom's most practical advantages for planners coordinating accommodation and programming together under one roof.
