| Recommended Klong Dao Hotels On Koh Lanta | |||
Khlong Dao has accommodation for all budgets, many with their own spas and nearly all with swimming pools. Khlong Dao is far from overdeveloped though, as resorts cannot build on the beach or above tree height, keeping them unobtrusive and preserving the relaxed atmosphere.
Klong Dao has its own particular atmosphere and feels very spacious and uncrowded – it’s a couple of miles of beachfront with the resorts and bars scattered along it, with plenty of trees still providing a beautiful backdrop as you look back towards the island from the beach.
Klong Dao is also a great spot for sundowner drinks to watch Koh Lanta’s stunning sunsets – grab a cushion on the beach and a cold beer at one of the beach bars and be amazed at the colour change over the horizon as the sun goes down.
If you want a beach where you can each somewhere different every night within a short walk from your hotel, Klong Dao is a great choice.
Khlong Dao Beach Restaurants
Khlong Dao Beach is made of white powdery sand and stretches 3 km. Due to the shape of the bay it retains incredible calm waters making it a favourite choice for families. There’s a good mix of restaurants all along the beach and one in particular is quite famous – the Time for Lime cooking school located near the south of the beach.
The Time For Lime restaurant is quite small and they have a select menu which is different every day. The food, view and setting here makes for a great experience. Also check out the beach bars for some friendly drinks whilst the sun is setting and in the evenings many bars play host to fire shows.
