Avani Plus Samui

Ko Samui


Formerly Elements, the Avani Plus occupies a lonely stretch of palm-studded sand with views of the stunning Five Islands. The location is perfect for a meditative retreat or quiet couples' romantic getaway. Chic rooms are arranged in condo-like blocks, while hidden villas dot the path down to the ocean-side lounge area.
