Lanta Lapaya Resort

On Ko Lanta’s shoreline in Saladan, steps from the sand and sea. Lanta Lapaya Resort sits by the sea near Long Beach (about 0.7 mi / 1.1 km) and just minutes from Khlong Khong and Klong Dao beaches — a tidy seaside base for beach days and island exploring.

33 air-conditioned rooms with private balconies and small kitchenettes (refrigerator, microwave). Rooms come with LCD TVs, safes and separate sitting areas, plus daily housekeeping. Expect simple, sea-facing rooms that put the beach within reach.

Dip in outdoor (and indoor) pools, rent bicycles, or book island tours at the desk. Spa services include a massage room and solarium, and there’s a diving club for underwater adventures. Shuttle service and roundtrip airport transfers are available for a surcharge, and free self-parking is onsite — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy beach access.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected. Express check-in and check-out, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage and concierge services make arrivals and departures smooth.

An on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with local flavors on the menu. There’s a bar for evening drinks and limited-room-service when you want to dine in.
