About Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort
- HBO filmed the hotel-bar scenes for Season 3 of The White Lotus at the Singing Bird Lounge, a bar built into a 120-year-old fig tree; the resort now serves cocktails named after characters including Mook and Gaitok.
- The tree-canopy bar concept draws on a specific Samui cultural tradition — competitive bird singing, in which caged songbirds are judged on their calls — that is almost unknown outside the region, giving the bar a genuine local narrative rather than a decorative concept.
- Entry-level rooms start at 592 sq ft (55 m²).
History
Beachfront on Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui. HBO filmed bar scenes for Season 3 of The White Lotus at the Singing Bird Lounge, the treehouse bar in a 120-year-old fig tree.
The setting
Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort occupies the northern, quieter reach of Chaweng Beach in Tambon Bo Put — at the point where the island's most celebrated shoreline transitions from lively resort strip to a calmer, more residential character. Six minutes from Samui International Airport, it is among the most accessible beachfront addresses of its calibre on the island. Chaweng's water sports, open-air dining and nightlife spread southward along the beach, while the Big Buddha Temple and Wat Plai Laem cultural complex lie ten minutes to the north, giving the property a rare dual exposure to both the island's social energy and its spiritual northeast.
