Kantiang Bay
Kantiang Bay is located towards the southern end of Koh Lanta, about a half hour drive from Saladan Village. It’s a much quieter, more secluded beach than Klong Dao or Long Beach and boasts some of Koh Lanta’s best soft golden sand which stretches for nearly 2 kilometers.

Kantiang Bay is most famous as the location of Pimalai, Koh Lanta’s first luxury hotel. There are now several other hotels, resorts and villas on Kantiang Bay which we recommend. Click on any link to view more photos, read guest reviews and book online.
Kantiang Bay creates a perfect shape to keep the Andaman Sea flat calm with crystal clear water. Behind the road you will view a mountain range which just adds to the breathtaking scenery to the bay.
Even on a busy day you may find yourself sharing the beach with only a handful of people. It’s a perfect choice for honeymooners and couples who want peace and quiet and get away from the masses.
With a short walk from the beach up to the main road you will find a handful of shops. These includes a few Internet & travel shops, clothes shops, a few ATMs and a Beauty Salon, not forgetting the usual 7 Eleven. Drunken Sailors Bar and Coffee shop is a great place to relax and unwind. For more suggestions about Kantiang Bay eating and drinking, see Best Kantiang Bay Restaurants and Places To Eat.

Where Is Kantiang Bay Located?
![]() |
Kantiang Bay is located towards in the south of Koh Lanta. It’s about a 30 – 40 minute drive north to Saladan Village, which is where all visitors to Koh Lanta arrive – therefore it’s a quite long transfer from Saladan to any Kantiang Bay hotel.
Precisely because Kantiang Bay is relatively secluded compared to northern Koh Lanta, many people love it because of its peace and quiet and general tranquility.
There are a few other restaurants and bars in the Kantiang Bay area within walking distance of the main hotels and resorts, but you will need transport to visit other areas of the island. This can be organised by your hotel.
