Ko Lanta hotels near Ba Kan Tiang Beach

Pros: Paradise. Yes, really. We booked a hill side Villa with private pool. Very private and the most amazing view overlooking the resort, beach and sea and it is just wonderful to wake up to. Plus the most amazing position to watch the sun set. The Villas are built into a VERY steep hill side but you call the reception and they send a buggy within five minutes and it takes you to one of the 3 restaurants, 2 reception areas (next to the two pools) or the beach. We walked down once but I wouldn't want to walk back up the the villa; but we didn't need to because of the excellent buggy service. The site is set in the middle of a jungle and the way it is laid out means that you can't see much of the site from the beach or Villa's. The whole site was very cleverly designed to fit in with the trees and plants and there are some beautiful walks within the site. It really is like paradise and wait until you see the private beach. There are 3 restaurants ranging from fabulous fine dining (date night), Thai food, to bar snacks from the restaurant on the beach. Just a 10 minute walk along the beach and there a several bars and local restaurants in a small village. You will eat very well and to suit any budget. The staff are just wonderful; we stayed 14 nights and the staff make you feel like old friends. I really recommend this place for a short break or longer holiday. 14 nights wasn't long enough.

Pros: Beautiful, restful, quiet. Well kept. All the employees were kind and caring and attentive! Food was amazing as were the views of the sea! I liked everything about it!!!!

Pros: I usually travel but Pimalai is by far extra exceptional in EVERYTHING than any other places I visit...specially what makes is extra are the hospitality of the people...I will definitely visit back soon

Pros: The resort was beautiful, the staff was top notch, and the food was great. A real value for the money. I would gladly stay again and highly recommend this resort.

Pros: Super friendly staff, amazing property with a spectacular beach and amenities.

Pros: The location. The 2 different pools and their views. The friendliness of the staff, at the lobby and and the restaurants. Very good breakfast. Sport facilities : outdoor and fitness center

Pros: Perfect place for relaxing and enjoying nature. The hotel is just amazing, beautiful. Very kind staff. Highly recommended. It’s paradise.

Pros: This is what heaven must look like on Earth. Go for the pool villas. Forget any other kind of room. We were happy with Villa 706 and its view. Be prepared for all of nature's beauty in all its forms - insects, bird calls, monkeys, land monitors etc. Rainforest trees meet beach. The private pool and rooms were clean and the service was unobtrusive and excellent. The Seven Seas as a breakfast location is breathtaking. It was worth driving 5 hours from Phuket to Pimalai. What an experience to remember! Also, notable mention is the hotel's glass bottles for water rather than plastic. And of course, the bamboo reed straws instead of plastic/paper straws for the welcome drink - bravo!

Pros: We loved not only the room, but the view, the patio, the living room... everything was perfect!

Pros: I liked the free transfer provided by the property from Kabri Airport to the resort. Early check-in and check-out free of charge. The Thai massage and the Muay Thai lesson at the resort (additional charge). Free fruits and free bottles of water in the room. The private beach and the rich selection of breakfast. The 2 swimming pools. The happy hour. The free Wi-Fi. The friendliness of the staff and the general manager.

Pros: We ABSOLUTELY LOVED everything at Pimalai! We were amazed by the Resort and everything it has to offer. It all starts with the complimentary pick-up service, which was arranged so so well. Than you will receive a traditional Thai flowernecklace and a welcoming drink and than the staff will lead you to your room, which in our experience, was amazing. Breakfast was amazing with some really good cappuccino's and some fresh smoked salmon, which is not very common in Asian countries, so that was a bonus for me!! Having some lunch at the beach is really really recommended, because the views are amazing and the food blows you away! The staff at Pimalai is so so nice and we always felt welcome and appreciated. The pool views are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and a day at the pool is actually A TREAT. We are so fond of Pimalai that we are actually planning on coming back really soon, also to adopt a kitty at Lanta Animal Welfare, which is 9 km away from the resort. WELL DONE PIMALAI AND THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR OUR PERFECT STAY.

Pros: Everything about this resort was incredible. The property is absolutely gorgeous with amazing water features, gardens, buildings and jaw-dropping ocean views all over...from the pools, to the spa, to the restaurants and lounge areas. The staff was so caring, attentive and friendly—they even remembered our names. We stayed in a hillside villa with an ocean view and private pool—incredible; the room was luxurious with authentic Thai decor and the views were phenomenal—hands down the best room we’ve ever stayed in anywhere! The daily breakfast buffet was fabulous with extensive options, the shuttle service around the resort was a very nice service and the spa is a truly amazing experience.

Pros: Location, pool, the view

Pros: Lovely place and friendly staff :-)

Pros: The room and the direct view of the sea

Pros: Great location. A short wall from the beach and close to bars and restaurants but far enough away to be very quiet. Staff are very helpful. Nice pool.

Pros: Where do I start - I didn‘t dislike anything. if you choose included breakfast, you have the possibility to choose a new delicious, freshly made dish every morning - Pancakes, Omelette, Waffles, Asian food, bread baskets.. they also serve fresh fruit and a variety of drinks to choose from. The swimming pool is really unique, starting from the color and ending by the placement of the sun chairs with direct view to the seemingly endless ocean. And THE VIEW again - the Hotels Location is directly upon a cliff, the sunsets are breathtakingly beautiful whether you enjoy it from the sun chairs or your terrace. The staff is lovely - always smiling, always going the extra mile and helping out with minor issues (I mean, it‘s the jungle, so a few monkeys or beetles are just normal - that goes for Koh Lanta, Samui, Bangkok and the rest of Asia). If you crave some food, you can either choose the Hotel Restaurant (of course it‘s a bit on the pricey side, but I‘ve never been in a 4,5 star hotel which wasn‘t), there‘s a variety of amazing food options just 2-5 minutes by foot or even faster with the scooter. The same goes for a seven eleven and the beach. This has been the most relaxing location we had the pleasure to stay during our world trips, very calm and relaxing, it was just amazing and if we return to Koh Lanta again (what we definitely do - maybe even this year!) we‘ll choose The Houben again without further looking.

Pros: Omg where to start. We absolutely loved every moment we spent in Koh Lanta and The Houben was the cherry on the cake. The hotel facilities and amenities were top class and the service and staff we amazing to deal with. We especially loved and appreciated Shana (the absolute BOSS)! She is hilarious and always a joy to deal with. She should get a raise. We will definitely be back. This hotel and everything else was incredible. See you again soon!

Pros: Excellent staff and ambiance

Pros: 1. The place is very tidy and clean 2. The staff r helpful 3. A great variety of the breakfast choices 4. Can enjoy the great sunset view in the hotel 5. Love the scent in the bathroom 6. Have room cleaning twice a day and provide ice in every afternoon. 7.love the cats in the hotel

Pros: The room was lovely and spacious. Great sea view. Nice big pool and very few guests.

Pros: The hotel is amazing - it was pure luxury and relaxation. We stayed in one of the suites and it was completely worth it. We loved the amazing view and the outdoor spa bath - the sunset on the veranda was beautiful. The facilities were great and the apartment was spotless. The staff were really helpful and made sure everything was perfect. There are monkeys that come and play around the property so we could watch them whilst having a drink. Thoroughly recommend!

Pros: The beach was lovely like a paradise not crowded only 2 mins walk from the room. Beautiful sunsets.

Pros: Anda Lanta is located off the main road from Kantiang Bay to the Moo National Park in Ko Lanta. It is therefore more 'remote' than your usual accommodation options on the island. This also makes the resort more charming and definitely one of our preferred places in Lanta. For mobility, you will definitely need a motorbike/car. It is a hilly area and with limited options for food/drinks, but the road is good/accessible. The resort is lovely and well maintained, given the size. It has beautiful gardens, with plants, flowers, trees, and the occasional monkeys. We found it to be very clean, from roms to gardens and pools. The garden villas are beautiful and spacious. Beds are super comfortable. The place is family-friendly, so we noticed a lot of guests come with small kids. However, it was relatively quiet and intimate. I see some guests complained about children being noisy and the place being "too family oriented". We enjoyed our time there, so if you travel as a couple of group of friends, just avoid the pool area around noon. Overall, we liked our stay, fro. the luscious gardens to the large rooms and beautiful surrounding beaches.

Pros: A tropical paradise in Koh Lanta, we were greeted like old friends at check in and shown to our wonderful bungalow on the beach. We have stayed in many beach bungalows however, this was one of the best we have seen. The location is perfect and the room is large. The breakfast had a lot of choice and there is a very kind man in the restaurant who is always smiling and makes you feel at home. It is a wonderful quiet resort and we loved sitting on our veranda watching the waves roll in, it felt like we were alone on the resort. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Pros: Super friendly personel and nice and spacious rooms, just at the beach. The hotel is located at the quiet side of the island, far away from heavy trafic and close in the middle of nature. This is a great family-hotel

Pros: We had a very relaxing stay in Anda Lanta Resort. It's beautiful there, the staff is very friendly and thoughtful. We liked the location where the best island's beaches are. (If you don't like the beach in front of the hotel, just go to the next one around the corner). The resort restaurant was the best on the beach and price was almost the same anyway. We also had very good massage there.

Pros: Setting was wonderful on the beach front and in a lovely forest, beautiful landscape and flowers. Monkeys roaming around in the evenings. I would refrain from leaving clothes on balcony as they may get swiped by them and don’t eat food or you will attract them. Lovely big bed, quite firm but I was happy. Air con very efficient and fridge in room. Pool area was good plenty of beds and umbrellas and good tree coverage if required. They also had beds on the beach with a shaded area. Restaurant was nice and airy and they did a great choice of beverages and 2 for 1 happy hour 5-7pm! Breakfast was good, variety of eggs, toast, fruit and both western and Asian options. WiFi very good. Massage area was fabulous overlooking the beach and nice and breezy, therapists were excellent I went 3 times and priced very reasonable at 600 thb. Due to the location, if you book a snorkelling trip they will collect you from the beach so you don’t need a long car journey to get to the boat and for us we were picked up last and dropped back first. All staff were friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. If you wished to dine out they would provide a drop off and collect we went close by and we paid just 100 thb each way. There were a couple of nice little restaurants along the beach, food was pretty basic but fine and good cocktails. Try the passion fruit mojito at the Take it Easy bar delicious!! All in all a great experience and for £75 per night great value for money!

Pros: Location - on the beach, a short drive to restaurants on the cliff top with great views, 15 minute drive to a small town with shops (7 eleven!), massages & cafes. Rooms - very clean, spacious, large bed and balcony. Rooms were cleaned every day without fault. Air con in the rooms. Staff - great staff. Very kind. Highlights included; them bringing us extra water bottles after initially forgetting to put them in our rooms. Fixing my sunglasses after they broke. Restaurant - 1 restaurant with good menu. Both western food (sandwiches, pizza) and Thai food available. Drinks menu has good variety. Happy hour is 5pm-7pm with 241 cocktails. You must try the AMAZING smoothies!! We didn’t have breakfast, but it looked okay (cereals, hot food including eggs, waffles). Not 5* food, but overall, I’d rate it 4*. Some of the meals were unavailable too. Prices are reasonable. Good to know - pool towels provided every day. Water bottle per person provided each day in mini fridge in room. You can rent a scooter from the hotel for 50 baht per hour. The hotel can book you a taxi if you prefer not to ride a scooter. The hotel can also arrange boat tours and other activities if you want. Kayaks are provided for free. There is a spa at the resort, which we didn’t use. You can get cheap massages in the town area, about 15 mins away (id recommend the massage place opposite 7 eleven!). In the town, there is a good place to eat/drink called the ‘drunken sailor’ which id recommend for more western food & drink. They have hammocks to chill in and nice, friendly staff.

Pros: The location was good if you want quick access to the Klong Chak waterfall or the nearby lighthouse by scooter. The beach was nice and we had a good time at the “Take it easy bar” and the “Phu Pha View” restaurant.

Pros: If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet and relaxed vacation, then this resort is the perfect choice! There is only one other (very small) resort on this beautiful long beach and because of that, there were never more then 20 people at the whole beach! The only downside is that apart from the resort's restaurant, which is very good, there was only one more place to eat on the beach, quite small but charming and with quite good food. We ended up eating there most of the time. The resort itself is quite beautiful and very green. Our room was very nice, quite spacious and with one of the most beautifully decorated hotel bathrooms I've ever seen (I prefer simplicity over kitsch and glamour :)) Finally, we had a balcony from where we could see the whole beach and that was simply amazing! I would also like to recommend the hotel massage as it is done in a nice space right in front of the beach. Hotel staff was very helpful and spoke surprisingly good English, which was quite useful as they organized all additional trips for us. In case you need more restaurant choices, go to the neighbouring beach called Kantiang. There is a small village there and a couple of good place to eat (primarily the place called Drunken Sailors). Also, on the way there, approximately halfway, there are a number of simple restaurant on the cliff above the beach, with stunning views of the beach, best to be visited before sunset, with quite good food. Just be aware that most of them don't serve alcohol, as they are owned by local Muslims.

Pros: The staff, the quite location, the atmosphere.

Pros: We had a spacious clean bungalow with a great view from the balcony. we were able to rent a scooter directly from property to explore the area.

Pros: The staff were great and very helpful. Especially the gentleman who spoke very good english. We were able to hire a moped from the reception too which was great for getting around and seeing the island. The breakfast was lovely and would definitely recommend the yogurt and muesli with fruit. We also saw monkeys which was great and the surroundings were beautiful. Great views and hosts.

Pros: Lovely small hotel with nice views and dedicated staff. Breakfast is really nice and the pool is much appreciated.

Pros: Privacy modern well equipped bungalows great view fantastic pool

Pros: Staying in a separate cottage was good, and the balcony/terrace was great at all times of the day. 10 minute walk to the beach. Many close choices of restaurants. Good night entertainment on the beach.

Pros: Great views from the swimming pool and restaurant. In general, nice and helpful staf. Nice room. Quite nice location. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Kantiang View Resort.

Pros: The beach of Kantiag Bay, nice and quiete.The Staff so nice and helpful.

Pros: We stayed 3 nights at Kantiang. It was very quiet due to low season and we didn’t see any other quests except for once at the pool there was a family swimming. Normally they have a bar and I think restaurant at the resort but that was closed too. The room was spacious and the deck overlooking the ocean was gorgeous. The view from Kantiang Resort is really special because its at the top of a hill and overlooks the bay and beach. We rented a scooter from the resort which helped us get around the island, but the small town at the bottom of the hill is within walking distance. Some cafes, restaurants, and stores have what you need for a couple days. We had a great meal at nearby Chill Grill House - super nice people working there, natural backyard setting and the food is awesome. Nui Bay Beach is cleaner than Bamboo Beach.

Pros: Rooms were nice and lovely view

Pros: Easily the best decision to stay here for vacation! It was right on the beach with a large room. There’s 5-7 restaurants within 100m of the hotel that all serve good food along with a 7/11, tours, bike rentals, etc. While it’s away from some of the sightseeing places nothing is very far away and being on the beach was the seller. I was a little concerned with some of the reviews I read before choosing this place about it being rundown etc but it just adds to the charm of the small hotel. Definitely would stay again!

Pros: Gorgeous rooms with massive beds. Really well decorated. The resort is right on the beach. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The breakfast selection was excellent! And dare I say... a good selection if English speaking tv channels!

Pros: Perfect location. 50 meters from restaurants, laundry and tour agencies. Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and comfortable room. Really beachfront

Pros: The hotel was lovely, stunning location, really helpful and lovely staff.

Pros: Fabulous individual hotel right on the beach. This place is very special, the rooms are spacious and quirky, with views from the bed straight out to the beach and sea. We loved it. Big balconies, with hammocks and seating to chill whilst watching the sea. Area around the pool has been really well thought out, beautiful gardens framed by coconut trees.

Pros: Perfect location on a great beach. Good bars and restaurants within an easy walk. Good scooter hire, clean comfortable well laid out rooms and a great part of the island.

Pros: The location on the beach and Kevin the trainee who was a real hero to us and fixed everything. The hotel should make him manager.

Pros: The size of the room was great, it was also incredibly stylish and very rustic. By far the nicest accommodation of our holiday.

Pros: Place, location, close-by market and restaurants. The beach and the ability to rent a motorbike at the place is also a must.

Pros: Great hotel on one of the better beaches of Ko Lanta. Staff where first class and the rooms where very large and comfortable. Walk-able to little village and close to the best part of the island

Pros: Location beds beach cliff top cafes happy hour why not bar live music and nightly entertainment no tv in room internet

Pros: Location

Pros: It was my 5th time here. I love this place!! Some people complain about the service but they do everything for you when you ask like cleaning the room etc. The food is wonderful and the rooms are big and comfortable on Lanta's most beautiful beach

Pros: Breakfast was decent and staff were friendly

Pros: Spacious and airy room with comfy beds and good air con. On the beach front and good selection of beach bars and restaurants close by.

Pros: The view from the restaurant and some of the houses were really nice. The beach (~10 min walk from the resort) was one of the best on the island.

Pros: The amazing view (including sunset) from the restaurant/lobby, the kindness of the staff

Pros: Soectaculary view from the tree too bungalows. Well priced. Don't let the step dirt road scare you off, it's worth the hike. Car abs motorbike can navagate too steep for my loaded tuktuk

Pros: Amazing sunset views from the rooms

Pros: Brilliant sun sets and food.

Pros: Best view in Koh Lanta!! The sunset is absolutely gorgeous here. The staff was SO friendly & treat you like family. We loved hanging out with them & getting to know them. Drinks at the bar were AMAZING, and the little fire show was really cool! If youre not down for their food its very close to a mart, restaurants including the Drunken Saikor which is delicious. There isnt free water bottles but if you have bottles they have a place to fill them.

Pros: The accommodation is fairly basic but for the price, it’s more than adequate and a bit bigger than what you would expect. Other than that, it is a really great place to stay. We had a sea view bungalow and it was the best spot on the island for sunset. The bar also has the most amazing views if you don’t have one of the bungalows and they have lovely little huts to relax in and watch the sun go down. The food at the bar is also really tasty and well priced compared to the other nearby places. But the best thing about the place is the staff, they were so nice and friendly and always on hand to help with anything. Be prepared for a more relaxed approach, this is not silver service but if you’re comfortable with that then you’ll have an amazing time here. We stayed for 5 nights and wished we could have stayed for more.

Pros: Staff was crazy in a good way..like in midnight you can go in closed bar, make yourself cocktail and just leave money.. :D rented scooter, didn’t have to leave any docs or deposit..and good views from top..

Pros: The view.

Pros: The staff were so friendly. And the restaurant has the best view on the whole island.
