Attractions Beaches

Klong Dao, Lanta Island
This beach is the most populous of those offered on Lanta, with several bungalows at very reasonable prices.
Located 2 km from the Saladan pier, this beach offers visitors clean, sparkling sand, tepid, translucent waters, and excellent views of the surrounding areas.

Recreational activities are limited, but there is plenty of sand and sun to go around, making this a wonderfully relaxing and stress-free vacation spot.

Phra Ae, Lanta Island
At the northern end of Lanta, this beach is known for its fine sand and quickly shelving coastline.

Where to stay: Accommodation at Phra Ae are extremely affordable, and the food is sumptious. Like most of the beaches on Lanta Island, recreational activities are few and far between.

Kaw Kwang Beach, Lanta Island
Kaw Kwang: The beach is well-known for its nicely curved shape and its desertedness. Its aquamarine water together with its finest sand offers you the real sentiment of relaxation.

Klong Kaong Beach, Lanta Island
This beach, 2 km south of Phra Ae, is extremely peaceful, and has excellent accommodation at bargain prices.

Although the food is not quite as good as at Phra Ae, the beaches are isolated, tranquil and serene.

Klong Nin, Lanta Island
Like nearly all the beaches on Lanta, Klong Nin is isolated and quiet. Fine, sandy beaches are essentially all one will encounter here, and the accommodations are adequate.
Again, this is not the place to go if you want to go jet-skiing or para-sailing, but perfect if you want to read a book on a beautiful beach.

Kantiang, Lanta Island
Towards the southern tip of the island, Kantiang beach is one of the most beautiful on Koh Lanta.
Although accommodations are only average, the sparkling sands and iridescent aquamarine waters more than compensate.

There is also excellent snorkeling available in the surrounding area.

Klong Jark, Lanta Island
This is the southernmost beach on Lanta, and although rather average by most standards, the proximity to completely deserted Mai Phai beach, and the national park make this a good place to stay. Also, there is a small waterfall and a lagoon nearby.
