Overview

Hostels on Samui usually cluster around Chaweng's nightlife, so Ananas stands out simply for being in the south, near Laem Set Beach. It's aimed at backpackers and sociable travellers who'd rather have space and a pool than a party street.

The listing mentions an outdoor swimming pool, tropical gardens and a large terrace. Indoors, a shared lounge and other communal spaces give you somewhere to meet other guests or open a laptop.

Highlights

  • Outdoor swimming pool
  • Gardens and a big terrace
  • Shared lounge and communal areas
  • Close to Laem Set Beach in the south

Location

Laem Set is a small headland on the south-east coast, between Hua Thanon and Bang Kao, with rocky shoreline and a sleepy village feel. The old listing gives no street address or distances, so check the map on the partner site before you book.

Good to know

  • The south is spread out and quiet; a scooter makes getting around much easier.
  • Ask the hostel about room types: the listing doesn't say whether it has dorms, private rooms or both.
