Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Celebrates 25 Years of Anantara with a Journey into the Island’s Spiritual Heart
To celebrate 25 years of Anantara, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort invites guests to discover a quieter, more meaningful side of the island with the Island Blessings Experience, a cultural journey through Koh Samui’s Buddhist heritage.
Experience Flow
- Lotus Flower Folding: Guests begin at the resort, learning the meditative art of shaping lotus petals — a symbol of purity and mindfulness.
- Wat Sawang Arom (Wat Chaweng): Receive a monk’s blessing and participate in merit-making at a temple deeply tied to the local community.
- Wat Sila Ngu (Red Temple): Explore striking terracotta-red architecture and carvings that highlight Koh Samui’s spiritual heritage.
- Wat Samret: Conclude with a quiet ritual offering lotus flowers at one of the island’s oldest temples, surrounded by historic imagery and nature.
