The garden, a terrace and air conditioning in the public areas are part of the property, which is also smoke-free. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, with Wi-Fi in the public areas and internet services as well.

The property offers diving, fishing and tours, and the staff speak English and Thai.

Two outdoor spaces, the garden and the terrace, give guests places to sit outside, and the garden is set up for badminton and hammocks, with hammocks for an afternoon with a book.

Rayani sits in the Old Town of Koh Lanta, an island in Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast. The area is a small settlement with a temple, a community museum and the island's ferry pier close by, so the area feels local. Koh Lanta is reached from the mainland by boat, and the island's roads then lead to its beaches, caves and waterfalls. The old town is a convenient starting point for exploring the island by road, with the pier and the temple close at hand.

Koh Lanta Pier is 1.1 km away, and Krabi International Airport is 63.5 km away on the mainland, so the last stretch of the journey is by boat. Khao Mai Kaew Cave is 2 km from the guesthouse, and Khlong Khong Beach lies 6.1 km away. Mu Ko Lanta National Park and Khlong Chak Waterfall are also on the island, and both are reached by road.

A good day starts in the old town with Wat Koh Lanta and the community museum, then continues to Khlong Khong Beach or to Khlong Chak Waterfall. In the evening, the guesthouse garden, with its spots for badminton and its hammocks, is a quiet place to finish the day.
