Koh Lanta Holidays

A holiday in Koh Lanta will feel like you have stepped back in time into a different world. A far cry from the wilder party-islands, this tiny destination consists of several islands off the cost of southern Thailand, and is the perfect destination for those looking for a quiet escape.

Your time here in Koh Lanta will be characterised by walks along the stunning white sandy beaches with beautiful west-facing sunset views. Popular with more mature visitors and families than with the party-going crowds of nearby islands, the culture is still very ‘Old Town’, with the gypsy fishermen stringing their nets as they did 100 years ago, and the lifestyle largely unchanged by tourism. These islands are also home to some of the world’s best dive spots – often ranking in the top ten; venture underwater here for a glorious insight into the tropical sea life.
