El Pillax Lanta Resort is in the Baan Klong Khong area of Koh Lanta, a long island in Krabi province where villages, beaches and forested hills sit side by side. The closest beach is Khlong Khong Beach, 650 m away, with the village of Haad Khlong Khong close by.

Further along the coast lie Khlong Top Yai Beach and Lung Phon Beach, and Khlong Toab Beach and the Sunset Viewpoint are also nearby. Viewpoint Hill and Khao Mai Kaew Cave are elsewhere on the island, and Mu Ko Lanta National Park, 12.9 km away, protects forest and marine areas. Koh Lanta has no airport, so the usual route from Krabi International Airport, 59.3 km away, includes a ferry from the mainland, while Trang Airport, on the mainland, is reached by road.

A good day can begin on Khlong Khong Beach, continue with a visit to Viewpoint Hill or the Sunset Viewpoint, and end with a stop at Khlong Chak Waterfall or the national park. Kantiang Bay and Klong Dao Beach are further away and suit a longer day out, and Lanta Old Town is another place to explore. Lanta Animal Welfare is 2.6 km away, and the Lanta Old Town sits 7.8 km from the resort.
