Avanta Condominium

Air conditioning and flat-screen TVs with satellite and cable channels are part of every room at Avanta Condominium, and the rooms measure between 43 and 60 m². Several rooms have a nature view, and one has a pool view. Capacity runs from two guests in the kitchenette studio to four in the family suite, so the rooms suit a range of group sizes.

The family suite offers a choice of bed set-ups and has a private bathroom with a shower, bathrobes and a hair dryer. Wireless internet is available in the Pool Access room, and the deluxe room has a coffee and tea maker. Free WiFi is available in all rooms, and the rooms are set around a garden and an outdoor pool.

Guests have access to an outdoor swimming pool, a children's swimming pool, a garden and a fitness center. Free parking is available on site, and valet parking is also offered. Free WiFi is available in all rooms, and WiFi is also available in public areas.

The property has an elevator, a laundry service and dry cleaning, along with luggage storage and safety deposit boxes. A babysitting service is offered, and tours and car hire are also available.

Languages spoken include English, Russian and Thai, and a family room is available. The fitness center and the garden are both on the grounds, alongside the outdoor and children's swimming pools, so they are all in one place.

Mae Nam is a residential part of the Koh Samui coast, quieter than the busier beach strips further along the island, and the sea is less than a kilometre from the property. The area has a village feel, with local houses and temples in the streets behind the coast. Koh Samui is the second-largest island in Thailand, and the ring road links its coastal villages, so the other beaches are reachable by road.

Mae Nam Beach is the closest landmark, 950 m from the property, and the Wat Phu Khao Thong pagoda is also close by. Fisherman's Village in Bo Phut is 3 km away, a traditional fishing quarter, and the Big Buddha statue lies 6.2 km away. Samui Airport is 6.7 km from the property, and getting around the island usually means a car or scooter, since the sights are spread out.

A good day could start at Mae Nam Beach, then continue to Fisherman's Village and the Big Buddha. Na Muang Waterfall lies further inland and makes a separate half-day trip. Boats to nearby islands leave from the Lomprayah Pralarn Pier, which is close by. The sea makes a natural end to the day after the sightseeing, and the beach is never far from the rooms.
