Lanta Island Resort Guide

Koh Lanta Yai island of Krabi is attracting tourists with its unspoiled beaches and verdant forests. Though the island is not as developed as other tourist destinations in Thailand, it is not difficult for tourists to find a Koh Lanta island resort of their choice.

The accommodation options in the island vary from luxury to budget to suit the diverse crowd visiting the island. One of the most attractive features of a Lanta island resort is the sea view it affords the guests. The Andaman Sea in its full glory is indeed a remarkable sight.

Most of the hi-end Lanta hotels are along the beaches of Klong Dao, Klong Khong and Long Beach on the western coast of the island. These include villas, bamboo huts and bungalows that are built to blend well with the surrounding greenery. Affordable rates, affable staff and excellent facilities in the exquisite environment can make your Thailand vacation an unforgettable one.

Klong Dao Beach has some of the best Koh Lanta hotels. These are Holiday Villa Resort, Andaman Lanta Resort, Royal Lanta Resort and Twin Lotus Resort & Spa. The Long Beach (Phra-Ae) also has its share of hotels such as Layana Resort & Spa, Chada Beach Resort & Spa, Lanta Longbeach Resort, Lanta Casuarina Hotel and Lanta Nakara Resort.

Kan Tiang beach is not far behind in popularity with Pimalai Resort & Spa. Klong Nin beach has the famous Srilanta Resort, Lanta Palace Resort, Lanta Sand Resort & Spa and Lanta Seafront Resort.

The peak tourist season in Koh Lanta Island is from November to February, as in most parts of Thailand. During this period, the Koh Lanta hotel rates are higher than normal and it is impossible to get one without prior booking. Advance hotel reservation can be made through agents or hotel reservation websites even before landing on the shores of Thailand.
