AANA Resort & Villas Koh Chang

AANA Resort & Villas brings a touch of sophistication to Klong Praow Beach, one of Koh Chang’s quieter stretches of sand. The resort sits directly on the beach, giving you that immediate access to the water without the crowds you’ll find at White Sand Beach. This part of the island feels more residential and laid-back, perfect for guests who want to experience island life at a gentler pace.

The standout here is the AANA Grand View with Plunge Pool room – not many places on Koh Chang offer private plunge pools, especially at this price point. The property earned high marks for comfort (8.8/10), and guests consistently praise those “very comfy beds” mentioned in reviews. You’ll also find a proper spa and wellness center on-site, plus they serve up Continental, Asian, and buffet breakfast options. The free private parking is a real bonus if you’re planning to rent a car and explore the island.

Insider Tip: Check-in runs until 22:00, which is later than many island properties. This gives you flexibility if your ferry connections run late or you want to grab dinner elsewhere before settling in.

Couples looking for a mid-range retreat will find their sweet spot here. The 8.4/10 Booking.com rating reflects solid execution across the board – guests rate staff service at 8.7/10 and cleanliness at 8.8/10. At $131/night starting rates, you’re paying 4-star prices for 4-star quality, though don’t expect luxury resort bells and whistles. The trade-off is getting beachfront access and that plunge pool option without breaking the bank.

The $131/night rate positions this competitively for beachfront accommodation on Koh Chang. You’re well-placed to explore local communities like Ban Nam Chiao or discover quieter spots like Ao Tan Khu. The main tourist areas are still accessible by songthaew or rental scooter, giving you the best of both worlds.
