Getting Some Sleep in Koh Lanta – I

Chances are, you’ll sleep quite well given the variety of accommodations in Koh Lanta has to offer. Those seeking comfort in luxury will feel at home at the Twin Lotus Resort & Spa which feature rooms and villas with a creative modern design. The Thai-style interior provides modern comfort with five-star facilities. Here, the lotus flower, long considered a sacred flower by Buddhists, serves as a design inspiration. The tree-filled resort is set in a landscaped setting so large that guests have the option of being taken around on golf carts. The beach here is exceptional and is also perfect for sport activities such as windsurfing, snorkeling and sea canoeing.

Meanwhile, the Lanta Residence Resort & Spa right at Klong Dao has rooms which have balconies with comfortable seating and a miniature garden. Their swimming pool faces the lush greenery of the mountain and makes for a perfect place to lounge around.

Srilanta Resort is another chic choice on Koh Lanta’s Klong Nin Beach, whose minimalist-styled resort has 49 rooms with top-designed thatched villas with natural furnishings.

New to Koh Lanta is the latest addition in 5-star luxury, the Langham Place Eco Resort & Spa (formerly Rawi Warin Resort & Spa), which is having its soft opening. Located in Klong Taob Bay, the hotel features 185 spacious rooms and villa that provide guests with an ocean view from every level. The Thai-style cottages exude warmth mixed with the highest technology. Despite being on a ‘remote’ island, the facilities here are top class – think plasma TVs, DVDs and hi-fi components to make your day. The highlight of Langham Place Eco Resort & Spa includes a giant infinity-edge swimming pool, cliff to swimming pool and Rawi Spa. Complete with tennis courts, fitness center, 24-hour business center, movie house, music room, library, diving center, art gallery, kids’ corner, games room, gift shop, tour desk, car rental, conference & meeting facilities, 4 restaurants and bars.
