Local Attractions

Three unmissable nearby attractions highlight the best of Ko Lanta:

• Klong Khong Beach: A 15-minute bicycle ride from the hotel, this quiet stretch of golden sand is lined with casual beach shacks and sunset viewpoints. Unlike busier Thai beaches, it rarely feels crowded, perfect for long walks or lazy afternoons swimming in calm Andaman waters.
• Lanta Old Town: A 20-minute drive south, this well-preserved 100-year-old Chinese-Malay fishing village is full of colorful wooden shophouses, local art galleries, and fresh seafood restaurants. Wander the waterfront promenade to sample homemade coconut ice cream and browse handcrafted souvenirs.
• Mu Ko Lanta National Park: At the southern tip of the island, 40 minutes from the hotel, this protected park boasts lush rainforest hiking trails, hidden coves, and the iconic Lanta Cape lighthouse. Keep an eye out for wild monkeys and tropical birds, then end your day with a swim at pristine Nui Beach.

Travel Tips

Book the hotel’s paid airport transfer from Krabi International Airport for a hassle-free journey that includes the ferry crossing to Ko Lanta. Visit between November and March for dry, sunny weather ideal for beach days and water activities; monsoon season (May–October) brings lower rates and fewer crowds, though some offshore activities are canceled. Grab morning mango sticky rice from the street stalls near Saladan Pier, a 5-minute walk from the hotel, for less than 50 THB. If you plan to explore the island on two wheels, take advantage of the hotel’s on-site bicycle rental rather than renting from the pier for better rates. Don’t forget to pack reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life when snorkeling or diving.
