Lanta Manda

On Ko Lanta’s Pra Ae stretch—better known as Long Beach—steps from a 5‑km crescent of white sand. A short drive lands you at Klong Dao, Khlong Khong and Saladan, with local draws like Eco Art Village and Klong Dao Stadium close by. Family-friendly and perfectly placed for beach days and island wandering.

A recently renovated, 34‑room resort set in a tropical garden with Thai handicrafts and hardwood furniture. Rooms are air‑conditioned and roomy, with private furnished balconies, refrigerators/minibars, cable TV, in‑room safes, tea/coffee facilities and bathrooms with hot/cold showers and complimentary toiletries. Expect laid‑back island style and easy sea‑breeze mornings.

Dive into an outdoor pool with a kids’ section, lounge on sunbeds under parasols, or rent bikes to explore the coast. The hotel offers vehicle rental and free parking, tour/ticket help, complimentary Wi‑Fi, massage services (fees apply) and shuttle options (airport/cruise shuttles for a surcharge). Babysitting is available for a fee.

A business center and conference/meeting facilities make work-on-the-go simple. The hotel also provides dry cleaning/laundry, luggage storage and complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

The on‑site Lanta Manda restaurant looks out over the garden and serves a breakfast buffet/continental breakfast (daily 7:00–10:30, fee applies) plus Thai and Western dishes for lunch and dinner. There’s a bar/lounge and limited room service for late‑night snacks or relaxed in‑room dining.
