I Talay Lanta sits in the Old Town area of Koh Lanta, a long island in Krabi province in the Andaman Sea. Old Town is the island's main village, a cluster of local streets where the pier and the temple are close by, and it has a more everyday feel than the beach areas. The hotel sits on Sriraya Road, in the village rather than on the beaches.

The Koh Lanta Temple is 550 m away and the island's pier is 350 m away. Khao Mai Kaew Cave is 2.3 km away and is one of the island's caves to visit. Khlong Khong Beach is 6.5 km away, and Mu Ko Lanta National Park, a protected area of forest and coastline, is 7.2 km away. Long Beach, a long stretch of sand, is further along the coast.

A good day here can start with the Old Town and the temple, then move on to Khao Mai Kaew Cave and finish with a swim at Khlong Khong Beach or a walk in the national park. In the rainy months, rough seas can disrupt boat crossings to and from the mainland, so the island's rhythm follows the sailings and the sea conditions of the day.
