The Complete Guide to Ana Anan Resort & Villas Pattaya, Chonburi

Introduction

Tucked away on the quiet shores of Na Jomtien, south of bustling Pattaya in Chonburi Province, Ana Anan Resort & Villas Pattaya strikes the perfect balance between laid-back beach luxury and easy access to the region’s best attractions. Far from the crowded party strips of central Pattaya, this beachfront retreat caters to couples seeking romance, families looking for kid-friendly fun, and digital nomads in need of a calm base to explore the eastern Gulf of Thailand.

Hotel Overview

Set at 288 Moo 2, Soi Na Jomtien 20, Sattahip, 20250, this resort occupies a prime stretch of private waterfront, with all the amenities travelers need for a comfortable stay. Two outdoor pools anchor the property: a sprawling adult-focused saltwater infinity pool with ocean views and a dedicated shallow children’s pool with water slides and play equipment, both open year-round for free. All rooms are non-smoking, fitted with private bathrooms, air conditioning, wardrobes, and outdoor spaces ranging from sun terraces to garden patios; villa guests even get access to in-suite dryers for extended stays.

Dining is a highlight here: the on-site restaurant serves a well-regarded breakfast spread, with options for in-room breakfast, paid children’s menus, and custom dietary requests on demand. A poolside bar, coffee shop, and snack bar serve everything from fresh fruit to paid champagne selections, and a paid full-service spa offers everything from foot massages to couples’ treatments, plus a steam room and public hot bath. Additional perks include free property-wide Wi-Fi, free private parking with valet and accessible spots, a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, a kids’ club, and paid childcare for parents craving a quiet afternoon. The resort also caters to business travelers with paid meeting and banquet facilities.

Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are within a 30-minute drive of the resort:

• Nong Nooch Tropical Garden: A 20-minute drive north, this 500-acre botanical garden is one of Thailand’s most visited attractions, with themed gardens ranging from French formal landscapes to a cactus garden, daily cultural shows, elephant rides, and sweeping hilltop views of the Gulf of Thailand.
• Sattahip Naval Base Beach: Just 15 minutes south, this undeveloped, quiet public beach has clean, calm water and local seafood shacks that serve cheap, fresh grilled squid and steamed fish far from the tourist crowds of Pattaya.
• Cartoon Network Amazone Waterpark: A 10-minute drive north, this cartoon-themed waterpark is a hit with families, featuring over 30 slides, live character meet-and-greets, and shallow play areas for young children.

Travel Tips

- Book pool-view or beachfront rooms months in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure the best views. - While the resort’s private beach is maintained for guests, on-site water sports and beach access activities carry an extra fee, so ask about pricing at check-in if you plan to snorkel or kayak. - The resort is a 45-minute drive from U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport and a 90-minute drive from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport; book a private transfer in advance for the most stress-free arrival, or use the free on-site parking if you rent a car to explore the region. - English is spoken fluently by all front desk staff, so international travelers will have no trouble communicating during their stay.
