Lanta Sand Resort
Lanta Sand Resort
Beachfront resort on the west coast of Koh Lanta, with direct access to Long Beach, three pools, spa and a range of rooms and villas.
Lanta Sand Resort occupies the west coast of Koh Lanta, facing the Andaman Sea, with direct access to Long Beach (Phra Ae). The property combines beach access, three pools and a range of accommodation categories from Deluxe rooms to villas with private pools.
Why choose this property
Long Beach is one of the longest stretches of sand on Koh Lanta, with clear waters ideal for swimming in high season. The resort occupies a prime section directly accessible from its gardens, meaning no transfers needed to enjoy the sea. Three pools, a spa and a beachfront restaurant make the property equally suited to extended stays or short breaks between different stages of a southern Thailand journey.
Atmosphere and style
The resort cultivates a contemporary Thai aesthetic: dark woods, natural fabrics and vibrant accents. The Plunge Pool Villas, with their wooden furnishings and scarlet walls, set the strongest note of this visual identity. The rest of the grounds take a more understated approach, with tropical gardens and low-rise architecture, free from ornamental excess. The overall atmosphere remains calm and family-oriented, away from the bustle of the island's north.
Rooms and villas
Accommodation is offered across several categories to suit different traveler profiles:
- Deluxe Balcony Rooms: 55 m², located on the 2nd and 3rd floors, with private balconies overlooking tropical gardens. Double or twin beds depending on configuration.
- Deluxe Pool Access Rooms: ground-floor units with direct pool access, work area, separate bathroom and private terrace with daybed.
- Plunge Pool Villas: nestled within the gardens, featuring wooden furnishings and scarlet walls, designed for couples.
- Junior Suites: 155 m² available as 1 or 2-bedroom options, with kitchenette equipped with refrigerator, lounge, dining area, private balcony and bathroom with bathtub. Ideal for families or extended stays.
- Beach Front Pool Access Rooms: positioned near the restaurant and beach bar, with open terraces facing the infinity pool.
All rooms include air conditioning, satellite TV, safe, mini-fridge, telephone and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Dining and facilities
The Sand restaurant serves local and international cuisine throughout the day, with a panoramic terrace overlooking the Andaman Sea. The beach bar takes over during daytime hours for refreshments and light meals. The Grain of Sand spa provides wellness facilities, with a menu centered on traditional Thai massage and body treatments. Three pools complete the amenities, including an infinity pool by the beach.
Location and access
The hotel arranges private transfers from Krabi, Trang, Phuket and Phang Nga. Allow approximately 2 hours by road from Krabi or Trang, and 3 hours from Phuket or Phang Nga, with ferry crossings included where seasonal. Booking transfers directly with the resort streamlines logistics, particularly on first arrival to the island.
When to visit
Koh Lanta follows a distinct seasonal pattern. High season runs from November to April: clear skies, calm seas and ideal conditions for diving and excursions to neighboring islands. From May to October, monsoon rains make swimming unpredictable and some island establishments close temporarily. For a classic beach holiday, plan your visit between December and March.
In the area
From Long Beach, several excursions are easily organized. The islands of Koh Rok and Koh Haa, reachable by boat, rank among the finest snorkeling and diving spots in the Andaman Sea. Mu Ko Lanta National Park, at the island's southern tip, offers hiking trails and a lighthouse with views over surrounding islets. To explore the region more widely, see our Koh Lanta guide or compare with other properties such as Anda Lanta Resort on the same island, or Banyan Tree Krabi on the mainland.
