BaanPhong Lanta is set in the Klong Nin Beach area of Koh Lanta, an island in Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast. The island mixes long sandy beaches, forested hills and small villages, and the area around the hotel keeps a village feel, with the sea close by.

Lanta Old Town, the island's old town with its old shophouses and local shops, is 4.2 km away, and Khao Mai Kaew Cave, a cave in the hills, is 1.9 km from the hotel. Mu Ko Lanta National Park, a protected area of forest and coastline, lies 9.5 km away and is the place to go for a full day in nature.The nearest airports are on the mainland, and the final stretch to the island is by boat, so allow time for the crossing.

A full day could start with Khao Mai Kaew Cave, continue to Lanta Old Town for lunch and a walk through its streets, and end with a swim at Khlong Khong Beach, another sandy beach. Klong Nin Beach lies in the hotel's own area, and the Khlong Chak Waterfall in the forest makes a good change of scene for a day trip away from the coast, and the island's old town is an easy stop on the way back.
