Layana Resort and Spa

Below rainforest-clad mountains lies Layana, a beautiful garden resort, along a three kilometre stretch of golden sand. Relaxation and wellbeing are at the core of the Layana and with an over-18 policy, adult guests are promised uninterrupted escapism.

From huge garden pavilions to picturesque beach suites to the showstopper villa, La Maison, the Thai-inspired accommodation is both beautiful and superb. Luxuries include private balconies, open-air garden showers and second storey salas for nights under the stars.

The walled garden spa boasts the expected array of rest-inducing amenities, plus a unique salt room where you can indulge in a therapeutic salt massage or treatment for a mineral-based detox. If you’d rather keep active though, head down to the beach to snorkel, kayak and dive, or explore secluded Koh Lanta on mountain bike, motorcycle and nature reserve tours. What’s more, an international menu is served at Tides Restaurant which sits prettily along the sun-soaked beach.
