LaLaanta Hideaway Resort

Exceptional small resort hotel on the most beautiful beach in Ko Lanta. We spent 3 nights in a horizon gaze bungalow. 2 adults and our teenage son. It was simply magical. Beautiful room, amazing swimming pools, incredible bar/restaurant where we had dinner every night. Fun renting their scooters and touring the island by day and then retreating to this peaceful haven in the afternoon. Super friendly staff made our stay very special. Very peaceful and relaxing vibe. Away from the hustle and bustle of other parts of the island. Can’t recommend it enough. Hope we get to come back one day.

This was our last stop on a special holiday, hopping across a few different islands. We’d stayed in some wonderful places so were a bit nervous to see if this could top them. From the moment we got picked up from the ferry our experience was perfect. The driver was lovely and knowledgeable. As we drove through to our accommodation we were a bit worried as Koh Lanta seemed very busy and westernised but we needn’t have been. The bungalows are on a remote beach and off the beaten track. The place itself is beautiful and small enough to ensure it’s not too busy with the resort pretty much having the entire, beautiful beach to itself. You also have the benefit of the jungle and the monkeys, lizards and birds. It really special sitting and watching the monkeys play at sunset. The food is outstanding too! Finally a special mention for June and her pets. We love animals and, missing ours, to be able to relax with the super friendly cats and dogs was the icing on the cake. June was so friendly and helpful…a special special place. Thank you!

Hideaway is the main point of this nice hotel, built near Bamboo Beach, southern of Koh Lanta. The hotel is nice, the rooms are small individual bungalows. The place is relatively roots and isolated but remains comfortable and pretty clean. A nice and small pool is available, and the beach is footsteps away with sunbeds and parasols. A great restaurant with fair prices and good food is in the hotel. Very great in order to avoid driving for eating during the evening. The hotel offers motor scooters to rent (300B), and different activities can be organised. It's a nice place to stay if you want (or don't mind) being isolated near a very nice beach.

LaLaanta is truly a very special place. We were lucky enough to have booked one of the Sand Castle Villas, which had a prime view of both pools and the sea. From the moment we arrived on Koh Lanta, the service we were provided with was excellent. I arranged a pick up from the pier, and before we knew it we had arrived in paradise. The food is delicious at LaaLanta, we'd definitely recommend the Pad Thai with prawns, the Vietnamese fresh spring rolls, and the red/green/yellow curries. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a few places whilst visiting Thailand, and LaaLanta was hands down our favourite spot. We loved it. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Sometimes you are lucky enough to find a hotel offering peaceful and beautiful surroundings without any hassle of noise or tons of people. The LaLaanta hideaway is one of these gems. The closest supermarket is 1km off, and the hotel area is surrounded by national park. The beach is stunning, and we had the pleasure to enjoy few sunsets during our short stay. As the hotel is at the south peak of Koh Lanta, you need a taxi from the Krabi airport. Just book it with the hotel, they have own taxi service for this. Prepare for 2.5h drive. The rooms are basic, but really nice and close to the beach. Prepare yourself for bungalow type of stay with proper air conditioning. The area has 2 small pools with the sunbeds, but we enjoyed the beach, our hotel having the only sunbeds at the beach! Staff & services The staff is very friendly, and they help you with everything. Activies are very limited, but you must remember this is a place to relax! Grab a book, enjoy the amazing atmosphere and just chill. You can get a massage (recommended), paddle, play ball or swing; those are the activities available. Food The menu is quite wide, but this time we checked out the Thai menu only. I recommend red or green curry dishes. The breakfast is beyond enough (included).

Perfect small resort situated 5 minutes away from the national park which is stunning. Staff have been excellent through out our stay very attentive. On-site facilities very good including motorbike hire which we found very useful to travel around the island. Overall excellent all round and great value for money. Food excellent
