About Koh Lanta

A long island with calm beaches suited for families and travellers seeking quiet stays.

The west coast is a continuous stretch of sand and trees, connected by a single main road that makes riding a scooter straightforward. It is flatter and noticeably quieter than nearby Koh Phi Phi. Choose this island for wide beaches and slow evenings, but skip it if you expect late-night clubs or immediate access to limestone cliffs.

Getting there
Ferries and speedboats arrive at Saladan Pier.
