TRAVELLING WITH A LIGHTER FOOTPRINT

At Anantara Rasananda, where pristine nature is our greatest allure, we are dedicated to helping guests ensure their trip leaves the lightest footprint possible. As they explore local beauty and savor native flavors, they are supported by our unwavering commitment to sustainable hospitality.

Staying in nature’s embrace

Inspired by local fishermen’s homes, our villas are crafted using local materials such as bamboo, rattan, sage palm, and silk, creating a harmonious design that respects the natural beauty of Koh Phangan. All villas are entirely free of single-use plastic, and all bathroom products are either recyclable or biodegradable. To reduce landfill waste, each guest is provided with a branded vacuum-sealed flask for use during their stay, which can be returned or purchased as a souvenir.

Fresh, local, and eco-friendly dining

From refillable glass bottles and biodegradable straws to compostable breakfast takeaway boxes and zero-waste cocktails, our eco-friendly programs make it easy to dine sustainably. Guests can dine barefoot on the beach, enjoying local fare prepared with fresh ingredients sourced from the island and nearby regions, from authentic Thai dishes at our Spice Spoons cooking class. All our baked goods and cured fish are homemade in-house, and our fish and seafood are sourced from local fish farms in Surat Thani.

Supporting local artisans

At Anantara Rasananda, we proudly celebrate and support the exquisite work of skilled local artisans and artists by displaying their creations in our boutique. Guests can admire and purchase a variety of items, such as paintings, sculptures, pottery, jewelry, and textiles, all made by talented artisans. All proceeds from sales go directly to the artists, supporting their livelihoods and helping preserve their cultural heritage.

Community engagement

We take great pride in educating our local community to help them protect the environment for generations to come. In addition to hosting workshops with local schoolchildren, we collaborate with members of the nearby Thong Nai Pan Beach, organizing monthly clean-ups of the area and working with locals as guardians and stewards of the environment.
