Layana Resort & Spa – Koh Lanta Yai 

5/11/2014

Comments

 
Award-winning resort offers luxury accommodation in a truly secluded setting
Picture
FORGET Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Phi Phi, and all those other well-trodden beach destinations in southern Thailand. If you really want to experience a genuine slice of unspoilt paradise, you need to make a beeline for Koh Lanta Yai, home of the splendid Layana Resort & Spa.
The largest of 52 islands in an archipelago protected by the Mu Ko Lanta Marine National Park, Koh Lanta Yai (or Big Lanta Island) features pristine rainforests and beaches and, considering it’s only a two-hour drive from Krabi Airport (itself just a 75mins flight from Bangkok), feels far removed from the much-visited beach resorts found along the mainland. 

A visit to Koh Lanta Yai is all about relaxation, and there’s no better place to beat back stress and experience the finer things in life than at Layana Resort & Spa.

The recipient of numerous awards, including, among them, the 2009 World Luxury Award for ‘Best Boutique Hotel in the Asian Continent,’ the resort has just celebrated its 10th anniversary by completing an 83 million baht renovation, and, with its modern take on traditional Thai design, looks simply stunning.

Featuring 44 Garden Pavilion rooms, three Beach Suites, three Ocean Deluxe Suites, and an exquisite two-bedroom pool villa called La Maison, the resort enjoys a spectacular location on a private stretch of white sandy beach and offers luxury accommodation at its best.

All rooms have either king-size beds or separate twin beds with goose-down duvets, as well as a large daybed serving both as a daytime sitting area and as a third bed at night if needed. Bathrooms are fitted with bathtubs and separate showers, while the suites are equipped with open-air garden showers where you will feel most liberated. Other facilities include Work desk, DVD player, IDock Station, Satellite TV, Wireless Internet connection, and tea and coffee making facilities. Each room also has its own private outdoor balcony.

Mouth-watering Thai and international cuisine (including some superb seafood) is served for breakfast, lunch and dinner at the resort’s Tide Restaurant, which is located right on the edge of the beach, literally a stone’s throw from the crystal clear water. And wine, cocktails, and fruit shakes of all descriptions are served in style at the Sundowners Bar, which is just perfect for an evening tipple or two.  

Guests can deepen their relaxed mood by enjoying one of the superlative treatments conducted at the resort’s Linger Longer Spa, which offers an extensive range of Eastern and Western health and beauty treatments, or calm their mind at the onsite Salt Spa, which was specially created to produce the therapeutic microclimate found in natural salt caves.

More adventurous types, meanwhile, can take part in local activities such as kayaking, mountain biking, and snorkeling, venture onto the waves on a sunset cruise, and even learn how to create local cuisine by joining an Authentic Thai Cookery Class. Bliss.

For details about rates and promotions please see the resort’s website.
