Lanta Dareen Garden Home

Klong Nin is one of the villages along the coast of Koh Lanta, an island of forest, sandy beaches and fishing villages reached by ferry from the mainland. The guesthouse is set among gardens, a short distance from the sea, in a part of the island that feels separate from its busier stretches.

The beach at Klong Nin is a few hundred metres away, and Khlong Khong Beach is about 2 km along the coast. A convenience store and an ATM are close by. Khao Mai Kaew Cave, a limestone cave, is 2.6 km away, and Lanta Old Town, the island's old town area, is 5.1 km away. Mu Ko Lanta National Park, 9.9 km away, protects the islands and waters around Koh Lanta, and it is one of the reasons the area draws visitors who come for the sea.

A good day could combine a swim at Khlong Khong Beach with a walk to Khao Mai Kaew Cave and an afternoon in the old town. In the rainy months the sea can be rough, so boat trips may be cancelled. Snorkelling and diving are among the activities the property offers, and Kantiang Bay, a bay with sandy beaches on the island, is a further day trip for those who want a longer outing.
