5 Best Resorts in Koh Lanta
If you're looking the ultimate luxury getaway then a resort is the place for you. Here are a few of my favourite resorts in the Koh Lanta area:
1. Lanta Dareen Resort
These neatly laid out bungalow-style rooms face onto a tropical garden, each with their own wooden seating area on the porch.
A pool that overlooks the ocean is the perfect place to sit back, relax and watch the afternoon pass you by.
Follow up your lazy afternoon with a spa treatment and finish off your day by taking a stroll down to the beach.
Make sure to head back to the resort for sundowners at the resort bar.

2. Layana Resort and Spa
Layana Resort & Spa is a luxury resort, or should I say paradise!
Unfortunately, this resort is not child-friendly. So reserve this accommodation spot for your anniversary, drop the kids off at the in-laws and book a week at Layana with your significant other.
At Layana Resort & Spa you're going to want to make the most of the many facilities that they have to offer.
Not only does this paradise look over the beachfront, but it also has its own pool, library and fitness centre. Not to mention, a spa facility to reckon with.
Their restaurant serves international dishes as well as traditional Thai food. We highly recommend that you order the seafood dishes that the restaurant has to offer, with seafood straight out the ocean, it could not get fresher!
3. Lanta White Rock Resort
This resort has a pool and barbeque facilities, which are perfect for an even spent with the family.
If you're not in the mood to DIY your dinner, there's a brilliant on-site restaurant where you can expect to be served European and International cuisine.
4. Kaw Kwang Beach Resort
Idyllically situated, is nothing short of a luxurious, beachfront paradise.
The facilities Kaw Kwang has to offer are an outdoor pool, fitness centre and, of course, a bar and restaurant.
Their aptly named "Selfie Bar" is seemingly made out of rock and has somewhat of a Flintstone feel. This bar has been photographed by Instagram 'models' all over the world, but who can blame them.
Kaw Kwang is a quiet, peaceful resort situated practically on the beach. There's no need to leave the property for sundowners, or anything else that your heart desires.

5. Baan Laanta Resort and Spa
Tiny paths weave their way between an overgrown jungle garden that gives each and every one of their bungalows a very private feel.
Traditional Thai massages are offered at their spa and wellness centre. After a blissful spa day, you can head to their outdoor pool area.
Statues of elephants are placed around the grounds, making you feel as if you're right in the heart of Thailand. Which, you actually are. Be sure to check out the restaurant and aqua bar during your stay.
