Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort is a 3-star beachfront property directly on Phra Ae Beach (Long Beach) in the Sala Dan district, on the island of Koh Lanta, in Krabi Province, Thailand. The property offers multiple accommodation types, including beachfront villas, and caters to both couples and families. From the main pier in Sala Dan, expect approximately 10 minutes by local taxi or songthaew (shared pickup truck).

Why stay here

We selected this property for its direct beachfront location on Phra Ae Beach, one of Koh Lanta's most accessible beaches, and for the presence of beachfront villas—a rare configuration at this price point on the island. We recommend it to travellers seeking a beach retreat with immediate beach access, families thanks to available family rooms, and those who want an on-site pool while remaining in a relaxed setting.

Guests regularly appreciate the pool and beach access, as well as staff availability and friendliness. One point to keep in mind: several reviews mention that some rooms, particularly the villas, show signs of age (dated bathrooms, maintenance could be improved), and on-site dining has received mixed feedback. It's best to explore nearby restaurants in the area for dinner.

Atmosphere

The property embraces a relaxed beachfront resort style, with an infinity pool overlooking the sea and direct access to Phra Ae Beach. The atmosphere is calm, with the beach remaining uncrowded, making it well-suited for leisure-focused stays. Several massage options, bars and restaurants are found nearby on the beach itself, independent of the hotel.

Worth noting: access to the hotel can be hindered by roadwork in the immediate vicinity, according to recent traveller feedback.

The rooms

The resort offers several configurations: Standard and Superior rooms (up to 2 adults and 1 child), Family room (up to 2 adults and 2 children), sea view room, and beachfront villas with double beds. Rates for Superior and Family categories include American breakfast for up to 4 guests. Extra beds are available upon request in some rooms. Room categories have no published square footage information.
