Lanta Wanida Resort is on Koh Lanta, an island in Krabi province on the Andaman Sea, and the nearest beach, Klong Nin Beach, is 200 m away. The beach is a long stretch of sand, and the area around it has small guesthouses and beach bars along the road, with an unhurried pace. The island's sights are spread along its coast and inland, so a day out usually means a trip by road, with the resort as a quiet base to return to.

Khlong Top Noi Beach is 900 m away on the island's coastline, and Khao Mai Kaew Cave, a limestone cave, is 2.7 km away. Lanta Old Town, the island's old town, is 5.2 km away and offers a glimpse of local island life. Khlong Chak Waterfall is also on the island, and the Butterfly Farm, a garden with butterflies, is an easy stop between beach days. Getting to Koh Lanta from the mainland means crossing by boat, and once on the island the roads connect the beaches and villages.

A day could begin with a swim at Klong Nin Beach, continue to Khao Mai Kaew Cave, and end with a massage at the resort's spa. Mu Ko Lanta National Park, a marine park of islands and coastal waters, is 9.8 km away and is a good choice for a longer day out. In the rainy months, boat trips can be stopped by rough seas, so it helps to plan the island crossings around the weather.
