Best Boutique Hotels in Koh Lanta

i-Style Lanta Boutique House — SHA Extra Plus

If you value comfort, calm, and genuinely helpful hosts, i-Style Lanta Boutique House checks all the boxes. It’s one of the best boutique hotels in Ko Lanta if you want a spotless, easy-going stay with all the essentials, and none of the chaos. This place is adults-only, which means quiet mornings, slow coffees on your private balcony, and no loud distractions.

Here everything just work fine, from the fresh fruit delivered to your room every morning to the lovely tours they help you prepare. And if something doesn’t, Kim, the co-owner, is on it immediately. She and her husband run the place like pros, but with the warmth of old friends.

What makes it stand out? The service. Travelers consistently say the same thing: Kim and her husband go above and beyond. They organize ferry pickups, arrange airport transfers (cheaper than online prices), and give solid local recommendations. Kim also works in local tourism, so she knows exactly how to get you the best deal, without the hassle.

Good to know: There’s free on-site parking. You can rent a motorbike or bike directly from reception.

What about the Location?

i-Style Lanta is located near Saladan Village in northern Ko Lanta, close to the action but peaceful enough to rest and recharge.

Lanta Palace Beach Resort & Spa – Adult Only

You will love Lanta Palace Beach Resort & Spa from the moment you arrive. The bungalows are elegantly designed with natural textures, spacious layouts, and thoughtful details like blackout curtains and private terraces. But here’s what truly sets Lanta Palace apart: they’re masters at creating personalized moments. Celebrating a birthday or special occasion? Don’t be surprised if the team brings out a cake or arranges a romantic beach dinner just for you. Their attention to detail and genuine care transform a great stay into an unforgettable one.

Start your mornings with a varied breakfast spread, continental, Asian, and buffet options await. Then, spend your days kayaking, diving into crystal waters, or unwinding with a massage by the shore. The on-site restaurant serves up delicious Thai and international dishes, and the beachfront bar is the perfect place to toast the sunset.

Lanta Palace is one of the few adult-only beachfront resorts in the area that offers true privacy in every bungalow.

What about the Location?

Despite being peaceful and intimate, the resort is conveniently located just a short walk from local shops and attractions, and only 8 miles from Mu Ko Lanta National Park, making it an ideal base for both adventure and relaxation.

Layana Resort & Spa – Adult Only – SHA Extra Plus

This luxurious adults-only retreat is more than just a five-star resort. Layana is a sanctuary designed for those who crave peace, privacy, and pure indulgence. Tucked inside Mu Koh Lanta National Park, this beachfront haven offers direct access to fine white sand and endless turquoise waters. The setting alone is enough to take your breath away, but the spa takes the experience to the next level!

Each room and suite at Layana is a blend of modern Thai architecture. The interiors are not only beautiful but also functional, they offer satellite TV, plush daybeds, deep bathtubs, and rainfall showers. Most rooms offer sea or garden views, and many are just steps away from the beach or infinity pool. And speaking of pools, Layana boasts not one, but two stunning infinity pools, surrounded by tropical gardens and facing the sea. However, the standout feature is The Linger Longer Spa. This wellness oasis lives up to its name, offering massages, facials, and holistic treatments that leave you floating.

The SeaSky Restaurant serves all you want right by the beach. Think tropical fruits, warm pastries, and made-to-order hot dishes. At sunset, enjoy fresh seafood with your toes in the sand, paired with a cocktail from the beach bar.

Good to know: Layana Resort was one of the first luxury adults-only resorts in Koh Lanta, and it's ideal for couples and honeymooners. Also, the hotel has direct access to Long Beach (one of the most beautiful on the island). You want to relax? This place should be at the very top of your list.

Lazy Days Bungalows

If the name doesn’t say it all, the vibe certainly will. Lazy Days Bungalows on Koh Lanta’s Relax Beach is the perfect place to slow down, kick off your shoes, and just be. This charming beachfront boutique hotel has all you need. Each bungalow comes with everything you need to feel at home, from a kettle for your sunrise coffee to a mosquito net (a rare and appreciated detail!) for peaceful sleep.

But what makes Lazy Days truly stand out? It’s the small surprises. They provide earplugs, direct access to the beach, umbrellas for those sudden tropical downpours, and even thoughtful design touches. The on-site restaurant serves up fresh, flavorful Thai and international dishes. The breakfast is included in your stay, and is generous.

Good to know: The resort offers motorbike and car rentals, which are super handy since Koh Lanta’s best spots are spread across the island.

Baan Thai Lanta Resort

There’s a reason Baan Thai Lanta Resort is among the best boutique hotels in Koh Lanta. This place captures a rare balance: authentic Thai design, intimate service, and a deep connection to the surrounding nature. Here, the villas aren’t just a place to sleep, they’re your own personal haven. Spacious, handcrafted, and warmly decorated with Thai wood finishes. Each villa offers a private terrace, a kitchenette, and a view that makes you forget the rest of the world.

Need to recharge? Sink into a comfy chair by the pool, sip a cold drink from the bar, and let the rustling palms set the pace. By the way, the gardens here aren’t just decoration, they were designed using principles of Thai feng shui, believed to promote balance, calm, and well-being.

What truly makes the difference, though, is the team. Whether it’s fresh towels at just the right moment, local recommendations, or help organizing snorkeling or island-hopping trips.

Good to know: The beach can be rocky at low tide, but it’s stunning at sunset. The resort also provides mosquito repellent.

What about the Location?

Baan Thai Lanta Resort sits steps from the soft sands of Khlong Khong Beach, right in the middle of Koh Lanta’s coastline. You’ll find charming beach bars, massage huts, and restaurants just a short walk away. The resort is also just a 15-minute drive from Saladan Pier, making transfers smooth and simple.

Alanta Pool Villa

Alanta Pool Villa is tucked away just 300 meters from Klong Khong Beach, the best part? You get your own private pool. This isn’t a typical resort. These are private villas designed with natural materials, warm lighting, and semi-outdoor bathrooms that let you shower while listening to birdsong. Each villa has a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy dining space.

Guests rave about the staff more than the villa, and the villas are already next-level. From delivering aloe vera for sunburns to booking last-minute island tours via WhatsApp, they treat guests like extended family.

Expect to have: your own BBQ space, and the fridge restocked daily with bottled water and tropical fruits, you can also get the best G&T in Koh Lanta delivered straight to your villa.

Free parking is available, and car or motorbike rentals can be arranged directly with the team.

Good to know: The walk up the hill from the main road can be steep, so if mobility is a concern, ask staff for a lift, they’re happy to help.

What about the Location?

Alanta Pool Villa is set in the heart of Klong Khong, a relaxed neighborhood halfway between Long Beach and Kantiang Bay. It’s walkable to beach bars and low-key restaurants, yet far enough to enjoy real peace and quiet. It’s just 5 km from Saladan Pier and around 2 hours from Krabi Airport.
